The Marshall Woburn III is a home speaker for your living room or media setup, not a portable one. It handles music streamed over Bluetooth from a phone, tablet or computer, and it also takes wired sources through an RCA input and a 3.5 mm input. Because there is an HDMI input, we'd consider it a reasonable pick if you want one speaker to cover both music and TV sound rather than adding a separate soundbar.
Its Bluetooth is version 5.2, and the feature list says the speaker is built to receive next-generation Bluetooth features as they arrive. That matters only if your source device supports those features; if you mainly stream from an older phone, you won't gain anything there.
Which input you would actually use
Think through the signal path before buying. A turntable or CD player with line-level RCA outputs can run into the RCA input, while a phone, computer or portable player can use the 3.5 mm jack. TV audio goes through the HDMI input, which is the connection that makes this speaker useful for watching as well as listening.
The speaker pairs over Bluetooth without a complicated setup, per Marshall's description. Check what your sources output first. A TV with HDMI ARC or eARC is the natural fit here, while an older TV that only has optical or coaxial audio out may need a converter. A turntable without a built-in phono stage would need one before it can connect.
Where this speaker makes sense
Marshall describes the Woburn III as having a wider soundstage than its predecessor, filling a space with what it calls home-shaking signature sound. That points to a main room: a living area or a dedicated listening corner where one large speaker can carry music and TV audio at once. If you need something you can carry to a patio or a second room, this isn't that product.
The finish is cream, and the build is PVC-free, using 70% recycled plastic and vegan materials, so it's a defensible choice if those matter to you. It rates 4.4 from 504 reviews, and at $449.99 it comes in below the typical price over the last 90 days of $496.04, which is also its all-time low. We'd skip it if you want a battery-powered speaker or multiroom syncing. Ask about the wattage and the exact sound controls before ordering if those details decide it for you.
Check whether your TV offers HDMI ARC or eARC, since the HDMI input is the main reason to choose this over a music-only speaker.
Confirm the return window and warranty terms for your region, and measure the shelf or table space this speaker needs before it arrives.
