Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Klipsch Connect at 3.8 against Marshall Voice's 1.5. Klipsch Connect also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 11%) and ratings volume (1K vs 90). Marshall Voice's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
