This week Marshall Headphones has announced that its
Bluetooth speakers will be receiving support for Amazon’s Alexa personal
assistant and voice control system, unveiling the Acton II Voice and Stanmore
II Voice speakers. As the name suggest the latest voice-activated speakers
build upon the previously released Acton and Stanmore.

will be available with or without Alexa support and are now equipped with a
mute button and new indicator LEDs. Support for Google’s voice assistant is
also in the works and is planned to be rolled out sometime towards the end of
2018 early 2019. As you may have guessed the Google and Alexa versions will be
separate devices, allowing you to choose your assistant before purchase.
