Marshall, a company best known for its guitar amps and headphones, has unveiled its first soundbar, the Heston 120, which features Dolby Atmos playback and Wi-Fi streaming for $1,000.
The Heston is a single, 5.1.2-channel soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS-X playback via both HDMI ARC and a HDMI pass-through connection. The speaker is fitted with 11 drivers designed to distribute sound around the room, and it offers multiple modes including Music, Movie, Night and Voice, plus room calibration.
The Marshall Heston features a fabric cover and burled knobs.
The soundbar boasts the distinctive Marshall look — think knurled metal knobs, wrapped leather trims and a brushed metal panel. It features preset buttons that can be programmed via the company’s Marshall app.
The Wi-Fi-equipped soundbar is also compatible with Google Cast, AirPlay, Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect in addition to offering Bluetooth and Ethernet.

The Heston 120 is the first of three models: The Heston 60 and the Heston Sub 200 subwoofer are coming later in the year.
At $1,000, the Heston 120 is a bold move for a company that has yet to produce a soundbar. It’s up against companies that have produced premium soundbars for decades, whose latest models include the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar and Sonos Arc Ultra.Â
The Marshall Heston 120 soundbar will go on sale on June 3.
