Soulboy Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) This is a surprise. I can see it being a cool choice for the young uns.... to own something different from the crowd. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/mobile-phones/11745730/Marshall-launches-loudest-mobile-phone-on-Earth-for-music-lovers.html If it did become popular and spark a wave of copycats. A brand new one, unused, in mint condition could be worth keeping. Edit: The specs not very high, but the free headphones you get if you preorder are worth £179....meaning you get the phone for £229. https://www.marshallheadphones.com/mh_uk_en/london-phone Edited July 18, 2015 by Soulboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Does the volume go to "11"? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's just an Android phone with lesser specs than the market leading devices, can't see any USP whatsoever personally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Missed the quality sound card, powerful built in speakers, twin headphone ports with individual volume controls then all linking in with the Marshall name in music? They hid that USP well..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hid that USP well..... Quality sound card? Lol :roflmao; Yeah because no other phones produce good quality sound do they? Built in speakers? Wow another exclusive. Twin headphone ports, ok I'll give it that, not much of a selling point though, is it? Basically, they've taken an average Android phone (not even a good one), and stuck an extra headphone jack on it, I think I'll keep my money thanks.

Arch Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 That's good then, because it obviously isn't aimed at someone like you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulboy Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 No....it's definitely not aimed at Tipex. We won't tell the manufacturers Tipex verdict, otherwise they may need to rethink it, or maybe pull the plug on it completely as they have obviously made a huge mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I still think it is a gimmick. Who really listens to music through their phone speaker(s)? The headphones could be added to any other smartphone. The people that buy it will be Marshall geeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Who really listens to music through their phone speaker(s)? At the risk of duplicating the discussion about suits, errr, I do! I like to have music in the background, I'm often in the garage, there isn't a sound system in there, I don't want a dangly lead getting in the way, so I pop the phone somewhere flat and use that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've one on pre order. I use phone for music at the weekend / garden / home office so if it turns out ok it'll get a lot of use. If not the headphones will get a lot as well (y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
