Marshall Emberton Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Wireless & Water Resistant - Black

I needed a speaker I could take anywhere - particularly outdoors or on holiday. I was particularly keen on the Bose sound core II- however it was a bit too beyond my budget. I came across the Marshall Emberton which looked the perfect size and build quality for my budget. Reviews were pretty good so went against my normal try before you buy and ordered. The sound quality is outstanding for its size- in my opinion equal to the bose at a lower price. Decent bass and volume and I would agree with other reviews that say it excels in the vocals. The build quality is solid and it looks fantastic wherever you put it. I particularly like the central rocker switch, which is responsive and quickly allows you to change tracks and volume with minimal fuss. The battery seems to last forever and the battery level indicator is a useful feature. Small criticism would be no aux input - although i bought it to be portable so unlikely ever to want to plug a device into it. Bluetooth range is ok - not fantastic I usually need to be in the same room to avoid any stuttering- I have come from using chromecast audio where range is not an issue- but less portable. I was surprised to read that despite it using Bluetooth 5.0 it uses an SBC codec rather than more recent AptX or AAC, which offer better latency and marginal improvement in sound quality. Not that I've noticed anything detrimental to the sound quality. Overall an outstanding portable speaker for the money!

The Marshall Emberton II is a compact powerhouse, delivering impressive sound in a portable package. Its rugged design makes it perfect for on-the-go use, while its long battery life ensures hours of uninterrupted playback. With crisp highs, rich mids, and surprising bass for its size, the Emberton II delivers a balanced and immersive listening experience. Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to pair with devices, and the multi-directional control knob adds a touch of vintage flair. Overall, the Emberton II is a solid choice for those seeking premium sound quality in a portable speaker.

Excellent Speaker, battery life is impressive, volume and sound quality is too. Highly recommend

Marshall Emberton is a small, lightweight wireless speaker with a retro-inspired look. With well-balanced audio and a robust bass response, it provides remarkable sound quality. With a single charge, the battery life offers more than 20 hours of entertainment. It is appropriate for outdoor use due to its durability and water resistance. The main disadvantage is the lack of sophisticated capabilities and customization possibilities compared to other speakers in its price range. Overall, the Marshall Emberton delivers excellent quality in a lightweight design that is ideal for music enthusiasts on the road.

I’ve been very pleased with this little speaker which gives me a good sound. I like how it sits on the table horizontally rather than being upright like many other speakers and so it is more stable. It’s small size makes it easy to put anywhere. Many people have commented on how cute it looks too, like a miniature retro speaker from the 60’s. The only thing I would have like is being able to have a nozzle to lower the base sound for greater clarity with speech ( or increase it) when wanted for different types of music. But overall I am pleased with this little speaker and love the 12 hour battery life!

My husband had been hinting for this for a while, was the only thing he said he wanted for Christmas. Told him it was too expensive so he'd have to have a cheaper one. 😉 Cue lots of sulking. However I had a plan and managed to get it in the black Friday sale, saving a few quid. Got him to open other presents first (including a hard shell carry case which left him very perplexed and confused) and I saved this till last, actually thought he was going to shed a tear when he realised what it was. It emits a very bassy little jingle when turned on which seems to excite him and lures him into disappearing for hours on end with it, only popping back occasionally to tell me how amazing his new toy is, waffling on about sound quality being perfect, how the battery life is amazing, how it outlasts anything he's had before and how good it looks. I often hear him reminiscing about when he'd put his phone or speaker in a pint glass back in the day to amplify the sound and how he doesn't have to anymore. I've overheard them planning holidays and outdoor adventures, fishing and camping etc. I think they may even be expecting or at least planning a family since I came across a Google search for linking more than one Marshall Bluetooth speaker at a time. I think it's quite safe to say it's a hit

Its amazing having that sound quality in so diminute size. The sound is pretty clear, but sometime too much. It depens on what type of music you are playing. If you turn up the volume more than 80% then the mid tones get all the presence and you will fill the lack of bass sounds. They literally disappear. It feels a bit too much boomy. I have tried to equalize it but you dont have too much control of it. The sound is touched from the construction, its not plain at all. Anyway I'm pretty happy with this device.. Maybe for less money you may choose another speaker that may also fulfill your expectations. The construction is beautiful and fills pretty strong. I'm grateful for the battery indicator. It is a annoying lie that the battery lasts up to 20 hours

Probably one of the best value for money BT speakers out there! Sound reproduction is typical of Marshall - like their amps! Beaudy!

音質もいいです

L'ho acquistato per usarlo in casa e sono molto soddisfatto. Esteticamente lo trovo bellissimo col suo logo bianco su griglia grigia che mi ricorda le mega casse nei concerti rock. Il resto della scocca in silicone piacevole al tatto. La batteria fa il suo lavoro e dura anche di più delle 20 ore dichiarate (a volume intermedio). Punto più importante la qualità audio. Suono pulito e pieno, buona spinta dei bassi, anche se si perdono un po'alzando al massimo, ma appoggiandolo a terra si ottiene un ottimo risultato considerando che rimane uno speaker portatile. Anche comodo da portare in uno zainetto o anche da usare in auto. Mi sono affidato alla nota qualità del marchio e non ho sbagliato. Consigliato!

I do not recommend this, despite the great sound quality. That's because the batter is of poor quality - mine died in less than 2 years. Battery life is expected to be a solid 5-6 years for such an expensive item. My cheaper bluetooth speakers' batteries last longer. It's not easy to change the batter either, and nobody in Singapore offer the service. I spent hours wandering about, but absolutely no one agreed to change the battery for me. Complete disappointment. I am discarding this item.

I’ve had this little speaker for over a year now and it’s travelled with me everywhere in my car. It has been in the rain, splashed by the pool, and left outside overnight, but it always impressed me with how much volume it can output for its size while maintaining solid quality. Of course it won’t thump with bass as it’s a handheld speaker if that’s what you’re looking for, but it does sound nice even on higher volumes in smaller rooms while looking classy.
