Embodying the Raw, Wayward Spirit of Rock 'N' Roll
Embodying the raw, wayward spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, the Kilburn portable active
stereo speaker takes the unmistakable look and sound of Marshall, unplugs the
chords, and takes the show on the road.
Weighing in under 7 pounds, the Kilburn is a lightweight piece of vintage styled
engineering. Setting the bar as one of the loudest speakers in its class, the
Kilburn is a compact, stout-hearted hero with a well-balanced audio which boasts
a clear midrange and extended highs for a sound that is both articulate and
pronounced. The analogue knobs allow you to fine tune the controls to your
personal preferences while the guitar-influenced leather strap enables easy and
stylish travel.

The FM radio is perhaps gone for good, the assumption apparently being that the
jury has ruled in favor of streaming over the internet. The IR blaster is
another feature due for retirement – the S6 had it, then the Note5 didn’t, and
now with the S7 the trend is clear.
Perfectly Done
Meanwhile, the IP68 water resistance has improved from the S5, allowing
submersion of up to five feet for 30 minutes, plus there’s no annoying flap
covering the charging port
- No FM radio (except for T-Mobile units in the US, so far)
- No IR blaster
- No stereo speakers
If you’ve taken the phone for a plunge in the bath, you’ll need to dry the
charging port before plugging in. Samsung hasn’t reinvented the wheel with the
design of the Galaxy S7, but it didn’t need to. The Gala S6 was an excellently
styled device, and the S7 has managed to improve on that.
