Marshall Emberton Bluetooth Portable Speaker - Black

Sound quality is great, battery life is pretty good great for music, movies, games, etc. But a big negative is the lack of an app or something to control the Bluetooth connectivity. If I am listening to a YouTube video, press pause, the speaker will turn off after a few seconds, even when I hit resume on the video. Its annoying and wish there was an app that could adjust those settings/controls.

I have bought many different portable speakers at different times. It was time to get a new one. I had luckily been able to try this one out since a friend owned it. I love that it has speakers on both sides of the unit so whether you sit in the front or the back of it you get a good sound. You get a good sound if you sit anywhere in a room with it. It is easy to pair and very simple to use. I also like that it is water resistant. Good shower speaker. It has a nice amount of bass and is balanced well with the treble. Most of my other speakers were treble heavy, so this was a welcome change. It is lightweight and fairly small, but you would never guess that from the sound you get out of it. Glad I bought this speaker.

surprised to like it after using three months as Im a fan of sound of Bose. Like the battery lasting long when Im using it quite long and frequently. Not to mention, it has nice classic and simple design which like better than Bose. Sorry Bose.

We have been using this speaker since December 2022. It has great sound and is easy to connect our devices to. We are very happy with this purchase.

Honestly impressed and have been for months. Great battery, water resistant, USB C. It does color the sound, especially so at the max two or three volume settings. It is not an unpleasant color to the sound, and I would expect any speaker this size to not sound entirely natural. I’ve recommended it to anyone who’s asked about it.

Excellent sound and very well built. So easy to connect and take anywhere!! Highly recommend

Expensive for a speaker yes but the sound quality is actually pretty good!

I went from a JBL clip speaker to this Marshall and wow ... At first I thought the volume wasnt loud enough but then I started to appreciate the quality of the music and subtle bass . The clarity of the speaker sounds so amazing. 4 stars because I had the speaker on the whole day at a cabin and battery at least lasted 15 hours max and I should have got atleast 20. Love this speaker.

The quality for the little speaker is great. I have seen how another top brands offer clearer quality and more sync compatability with multiple speakers, but I wasn’t looking for that. Honestly what drew me in was the aesthic look of this little portable Bluetooth speaker. It has a vintage feel to it with a heavy duty outer skin made of rubber i think. It feels like it can take a beating if dropped which I have not done yet. I play it in the kitchen when cooking or cleaning. I place it close against a wall to get a bit more sound feedback. So it’s great for ambiance and more personal intimate setting, like an upgrade instead of blaring your smartphone at speaker max. If you’re looking for more bells and whistles then I would look to Marshall’s graduated models but that would mean dishing out more $$$ or maybe some other brand. This really isn’t meant as a complete surround sound home theater system and I’m sure this would be common sense to buyers but I could be wrong. It comes with a charging cable and so far we haven’t spent most of our time charging it constantly, of course we are not blaring the speaker at max volume either so if you play it at a decent sound level the internal battery will last longer. Very easy to use and it’s cute so I love it!

First of all let me say that this speaker almost as good as the Bose Soundlink (8 years old) which I replaced (left it by mistake in a Charleston hotel room). I agree with other reviews that it sounds best at 80% At full volume base seems to get lost and the highs take over. The Bose, on the other hand, shines at any volume and sounds great at its peak. The Marshall like the Bose excel when properly placed (they both need to be placed in a corner such as in a kitchen corner under cabinets) to get maximum sound due to its construction of front and rear firing speakers. I really love the Bose sound, however, the Marshall Emberton holds its own especially at a significant discount to the Bose line. The mids and highs are superior while the bass is inferior. This is our “travel” speaker so for the price it’s a keeper. Placement is key. Needs to have solid reflective space to promote its best sound and played at 80% or less. Max volume discredits this speaker. Overall for the price while it is subpar to the Bose in sound it is a fine speaker and one that will replace the soundlink in our travel bag at a savings.
