Marshall has unveiled its latest audio innovations, the Heston 60 compact soundbar and the Heston Sub 200 subwoofer, promising to deliver a high-quality auditory experience with Dolby Atmos technology. These new products are set to launch online in the U.S. on September 23, 2025, with in-store availability starting September 30, 2025.
The Heston 60 soundbar is engineered for versatility and superior sound quality, offering a three-dimensional entertainment experience. It shares the aesthetic appeal of the larger Heston 120, featuring tactile controls, a woven salt-and-pepper fret, and a premium PU leather finish. Available in black and cream, the soundbar provides dual mounting options, allowing it to be positioned flat against a wall or standing on a TV bench. This flexibility is enhanced by a magnetic logo and control panel that adapt to either configuration.
Advanced Connectivity and Customization
Designed with modern connectivity in mind, the Heston 60 supports multi-wireless options, including Wi-Fi and the latest Bluetooth technology with Auracast. Integrated music services allow users to easily access their favorite playlists. The soundbar also features customizable sound modes such as Movie, Music, Night, and Voice, catering to different listening preferences and environments.
Meanwhile, the Heston Sub 200 complements the soundbar with the latest Bluetooth LE Audio wireless technology, enabling easy repositioning to achieve optimal sound integration within any home setting. Like the soundbar, the subwoofer is available in black or cream and offers customized presets and enhanced sound modes accessible through the Marshall app.
Innovation and Design Inspiration
Marshall’s commitment to innovation is evident in the design and functionality of these new products. Ed Camphor, Audio Technology and Tuning Lead at Marshall Group, explains the inspiration behind the Heston 60:
“For Heston 60, we took inspiration from the Heston 120, putting extra focus on instrument separation and clear vocals, while still producing powerful sound for its size. Our intention was to also tailor it to be great for TV and movies without compromising its sound for music. One thing that’s new with Heston 60 is the flippable design. We spent lots of time on placement with weeks of modelling going into wave guides to make sure the sound is just as good, whichever way it’s mounted.”
Anders Olsson, Senior Product Manager at Marshall Group, highlights the role of the Heston Sub 200 in enhancing the overall sound system:
“The Heston Sub 200 is designed to enhance the TV setup, adding an extra, deep bass that you can feel. Whilst our larger soundbar, Heston 120, is engineered to be a stand-alone unit with great bass performance, this subwoofer allows for even deeper bass for those who want it. For our smaller soundbar, Heston 60, this is a great addition and creates a flexible and versatile setup without compromising on performance – a real ‘power couple.’”
Repairability and Market Availability
Both the Heston 60 and Heston Sub 200 are designed with repairability in mind. They feature replaceable parts, including the fret, end-caps, drivers, and circuit boards on the Heston 60, and the fret, feet, drivers, and circuit boards on the Heston Sub 200. This approach not only extends the lifespan of the products but also aligns with sustainable practices.
The introduction of these products comes as Marshall continues to expand its presence in the audio market, leveraging its iconic brand heritage and commitment to quality sound. The Heston 60 is available for pre-order at US$700, while the Heston Sub 200 is priced at US$600. Marshall products are distributed in Canada by Erikson Consumer, with further details on availability and pricing expected soon.
As the launch date approaches, consumers and audio enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to experience the next level of sound innovation that Marshall promises with the Heston 60 and Heston Sub 200.
