“Considering its price, design, features, and performance, the Heston 120 is an excellent choice for a single-speaker home theater sound system.”

The Marshall Heston 120 delivers excellent audio performance and iconic design but lacks surround speaker support and voice assistant integration. Its high price and missing features make it less compelling than competitors like the Sonos Arc Ultra.
