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.
