Black Friday Marshall deals: Quick menu

At Louder, myself and the team have been writing about and reviewing some of the best speakers and headphones out there, and collectively we've been impressed with the offerings from the audio masters at Marshall.

Not only do they have a rich pedigree and iconic presence when it comes to stage cabs, but their range of home hardware is equally impressive: everything from room-filling sound speakers and portable devices, to comfortable in-ear headphones.

This will be my sixth year covering Black Friday, and in the past I've seen some excellent discounts on Marshall products, not only from the big online retailers, but through the official Marshall website in both the US and UK.

But to get you started, Marshall are currently holding their Black Friday sale in the UK, with money off a number of their headphones and speakers, including £50 off the portable Emberton II. And if you're US-based, you can get your hands on the Kilburn II at Amazon with $100 off, taking the price down to $199.99.

I'm on-hand in the lead up to the sales weekend, on Black Friday and beyond, bringing to the best deals on Marshall headphones and speakers, so keep this page bookmarked if you're looking for an early Christmas present or a sweet-sounding treat for yourself.

When do the Black Friday Marshall deals start?

This year's Black Friday will take place on November 29 - and as always, it's the day after America celebrates Thanksgiving. I've been covering Black Friday since 2019 and in my experience - and as you can see above - plenty of great Marshall-shaped discounts begin coming in well before the big day. I also expect to see Marshall speakers and headphones deals continuing right the way through the Black Friday weekend and into Cyber Monday on December 2 - with some cut-price deals also hanging around after that.

So whether you're after speakers and headphones deals or more general Black Friday music deals, I'm right here bringing you all the best bargains.

What Marshall deals can I expect to see?

This will be my sixth year covering Black Friday and every year, all the big online tech retailers get in on the action by cutting the price of Marshall speakers and headphones. The official Marshall website always has its own sale too, with prices cut across their range, so keep your eye over there too.

Last year there were significant savings to be made on Marshall gear, but I think this year might be even better. That's because Marshall have moved their range up a gear by launching their third generation of speakers including the impressive Woburn III, introduced the Willen II portable speaker, brought the Monitor III ANC headphones to market along with the Marshall Motif II ANC and, in the summer, they released the five-star Major V on-ear headphones.

This will hopefully result in bigger price cuts for previous generations of speakers and headphones - and I'll be right here bringing you all the latest Marshall deals as soon as I see them.

So many online retailers will be vying for your attention this year, that keeping on top of all the Black Friday Marshall speakers and headphones deals could be like trying to herd cats! However, here at Louder, myself and the team will be keeping you up to date with all the latest Marshall deals.

If you have a particular Marshall product in mind, make a note of it, keep it bookmarked and check back on this page to see if there's been a price reduction. Marshall products such as the Emberton range of speakers come in various colours including Black & Brass and Cream and you may just find money off one particular colour.

It's also worth bearing in mind that some Marshall products are now on to their third generation, so you could also grab a great deal on one of their older models. Some online retailers could also throw in a subscription to a particular music streaming service when buying a Marshall product, so keep an eye on the small print.

I'll be bringing you all the best Black Friday Marshall speakers and headphones deals to help you make an informed decision.

How we choose products

Marshall have built a great reputation over the years thanks to their presence on the live stage, and we'll always pick out their home hardware that impresses us most and bring it straight to you. When we're putting Marshall products through their paces, we test them against a variety of musical genres - from rock and metal, to prog and pop. This gives us a handle on what they can and can't do - and we'll tell you exactly what we think.

Why you can trust us

I've covered Black Friday on Louder since 2019 and I've also been involved with content on other annual sales events including Amazon Prime Day, Presidents' Day and Memorial Day.

I'm also part of the review team who tests products on Louder, while I also look after all the buyer's guides you'll find on the site. Together with the rest of the Louder team, I always give you the essential details to help you make an informed decision. I don't want you wasting your money, so I delve deep into how a product performs in a real world setting.

I've tested headphones while out and about in the city, on runs in a variety of weather conditions, on public transport and at home on the sofa rather than in an isolated studio setting. Why? Simply because that's how most of us will use them on a daily basis. The same applies to my speaker reviews - I test them in various locations in my apartment, on different surfaces and through a variety of music streaming services to get the most from them.

In our buyer's guides, we also give pros and cons for products while all our reviews always feature a couple of alternative options to give you as much choice as possible.
