Marshall Emberton Bluetooth Portable Speaker - Black

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!

If you are familiar with the name Marshall and music then that is all that you need to know. For a four inch speaker this is impressive. Clear high notes. Solid bass thump and superior surround sound.

Best Bluetooth speaker I’ve ever had. Plays a cute little tune every time you turn it on / off. Looks great and sounds awesome. I bring it in the shower with me so I can sing(perform) in the shower. Definitely recommend!

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.

For example, if you play Bring me to Life, Evanescence, when starts, there is a background thunder, well, this speaker simply cuts it off. Nada. Same in many other songs, definitely they are DSP ing so sounds more acoustic but not what the artist intended. Also disappointed that uses SBC codecs in 2022. But it only on sale, full price is too much and not enough value. Also no microphone nor app, makes it more disappointing.

This is a small miracle! I bought this speaker to take from room to room and listen to mostly classical and baroque music. I am very sensitive to the quality of music playback and was looking for something really worthwhile. In this column, I have a wonderful feel for low notes, such as the cello. The sound is very balanced. And when listening to choral recordings, the impression of presence is created. Naturally, all this will be at sufficient volume. If you dont like it, then blame the quality of your recordings, because this is a really great quality music playback device. Well, of course, do not expect the quality of stationary speakers, but its amazing for such a little one. I also want to note the simple intuitive control. To listen to music, you do not need bells and whistles. Definitely 5 stars!

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.

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

It will not disappoint you! Sound quality, battery life and esthetics!! Really love it!

Great product
