Marshall is expanding its home theater lineup with two new products: the Heston 60 soundbar and the Heston Sub 200 subwoofer, both available starting today. The releases follow the company’s first soundbar, the $1,299 Heston 120, and bring Marshall’s iconic guitar amp-inspired styling—now in both black and cream color options—into a more accessible price range.
The Heston 60 ($699.99) is a smaller, 28-inch version of the Heston 120, designed for compact spaces and TVs. Despite the size reduction, it retains many of the flagship’s features, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatibility, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming (AirPlay, Google Cast, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect), and automatic room calibration via built-in microphones. It also supports Bluetooth Auracast, allowing compatible Marshall speakers to act as wireless surround channels—though the feature is not yet active.
Notably, the Heston 60 differs from the 120 in several ways: it has lower power output (56W vs. 150W peak), uses a 5.1-channel layout rather than 5.1.2, lacks HDMI inputs and an Ethernet port, and replaces the 120’s signature knobs with standard buttons. The soundbar does include a 3.5mm analog input for external devices and a dedicated subwoofer output for flexibility with third-party subs.
The Heston Sub 200 ($599.99) is Marshall’s first subwoofer, designed to work wirelessly with the Heston 60 and 120 but also fully compatible with any product that has a subwoofer output—an unusual level of openness in a market where rivals like Sonos and Bose typically lock subs to their own ecosystems. Compact at 11 inches cubed, the Sub 200 uses dual 5.25-inch woofers powered by 120W amps each, reaching 30–150Hz with a claimed 99 dB output. While its low-end range doesn’t extend as deep as some competitors, its size and versatility could appeal to users with limited space.
Marshall also highlights repairability as part of its design philosophy. Both the Heston 60 and Sub 200 are built with replaceable components—such as boards, drivers, panels, and grilles—making them easier to service than most consumer audio gear.
Together, the new soundbar and subwoofer give Marshall a more rounded home theater lineup, positioned between style-driven lifestyle audio and traditional AV systems.
