The phone, pictured below, sells for $499 and features a dedicated music button, two headphone inputs for sharing music with friends, and a scroll wheel to quickly navigate through music. The handset also comes with a hi-fi sound card and twin speakers to make it the loudest smartphone available for purchase. 

Aesthetically, the phone matches the classic rock-infused look of Marshall Amplifiers, and comes loaded with Android 5.0.2, a 4.7-inch 720p screen, a 2,500 mAh battery, an 8-megapixel camera and a Qualcomm chipset.
