Our Verdict

Marshall Tufton

Marshall Woburn III

The Marshall Tufton and Marshall Woburn III have different use cases, so your choice will depend on how you plan to use it. The Woburn III is designed as a home speaker. It can connect to your TV through its HDMI ARC input. It has great controls and access to a companion app, unlike the Tufton. It also gets louder, with less compression, so your audio sounds clear at loud volumes. The Tufton, conversely, is a portable Bluetooth speaker meant to be used at home and outside. It's battery-powered, unlike the Woburn III, and has protection from light rain with an IPX2 rating.
