So, it took 10 years for a convincing enough Nokia N91 killer to be born.... Well done Nokia.
Nobody could've thought it would take this long... But it did. I wish Nokia returns to the market with the same innovative spirit it had in the last decade...
I know, I am going off topic... But guys, answer me... When was the last time you saw something amazingly innovative on the mobile phone market?

It's cheaper then a iphone, so it should not be so horror to see this price.

Sounds fantastic if a little bit expensive, hope availability wont be an issue tho.

so its an iphone 6 with a music system on steroids, a faster processor and more ram at a lower cost as well. I like it.

Considering that I'm more of a bass guitar inclined person, now I'll cross my toes for either a Peavey or Ampeg phablet instead. Still good stuff from Marshall though. At least a far stronger showing than the disappointment of the week = Commodore phone.

If sony thought about this years ago, they could have just revive their Sony Walkman phones. Oh well, it's not to late to try.. They could copy this marshall with their own design and make it a bit cheaper.

mir 2.0, 16 Jul 2015Why not just buy a dedicated speaker system and then plug your phone right in? There are tons ... moreeven with the Fiio E6 (the one I own) its way better to have it embedded on the phone and not to have two separete devices

mir 2.0, 16 Jul 2015Why not just buy a dedicated speaker system and then plug your phone right in? There are tons ... moreSee that Wolfson chip detailed in the description? That provides very good audio processing power. Most mobiles, ranging from those with entry point SoCs to recent flagship-grade insides, don't have very good audio chips. This means the fidelity of sound coming out of them isn't very good, regardless of whether it comes from their speakers or from plugged in headphones. Then there's also the fact that lossless audio (FLAC files, for example) are a waste on systems that can't make use of them properly.
Sure, you can stick any old phone on a speaker dock and play music really loudly, but the music won't sound as good as it would if coming from something with a decent audio processor. That's where the Wolfson chip on this phone would come into play. It isn't likely to put out DAC-grade audio, but it'll be pretty good, none the less.
So yes, this is a pretty good way to go for those who don't want to lug a phone and a DAC on their person at all times, but still want high quality audio (and have the cash to spare, I suppose...)

Pretty cool. Seems like a niche product, though. And seems a bit expensive for what its offering.
