Marshall - Emberton Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black/Brass

Gifted myself this speaker for my birthday and I'm so happy with it. It sounds decent for the size; I never turn the volume above 50%, and it's plenty loud and clear for me at that volume (using the speaker with an iPhone 12 Pro). The two 2"-drivers are positioned opposite each other to the right of the Marshall logo, while the passive radiators are to the left. They produce a nice punchy sound; you'd have to listen to it yourself but I can say it's perfect for me in my bedroom. Even outside, it sounds awesome. Because one driver and one passive radiator are facing the back, it can get a bit overwhelming if the speaker is placed against a wall; so I try to keep it on a table/desk with enough space to spread out the sound; again, I never push the volume above 50%, and I think beyond that it'll start to adjust the EQ to reduce bass output (which is okay for a speaker this small). It feels like it's built like a tank. The rubber on the outside has a nice texture and the buttons are nice and clicky. The grills on the front and back feel very sturdy. I haven't tried bringing the speaker in the shower or out in the rain, but the IPX7 means it can take a good dunk in water; just make sure you fish it out right away! The controls are very intuitive; Marshall have a winner with the multi-direction button; press to pause (long press to turn off/on), and press in any direction to control and volume and to go to previous/next track; I love speakers with track seeking controls because sometimes my phone is not at arm's length. The battery indicator is also a winning feature; it features 10 small bars, which I'm assuming are 10% per bar, a total of 100%. The lights never turn off while the speaker is in use, but they dim to conserve energy until you press the multi-direction or Bluetooth buttons. Excellent user interface. The absence of a microphone is a not a big deal because I never use my Bluetooth speakers for phone calls, but sometimes I like using Siri and it would've been nice to have a microphone. Of course, USB-C for charging is perfect. I wish the speaker came with a charging adapter in the box but a regular 5W iPhone adapter works just fine, as well as plugging in to a computer/laptop of course. Hopefully I haven't missed anything worth mentioning regarding the Marshall Emberton. It's a great small speaker that looks and sounds fantastic; can't beat the Marshall aesthetic.

This lil speaker is great. I love the look of it & it even feels high quality. It is not a cheap speaker, so you're definitely paying for quality sound. It great for office, work shop or any other room. GREAT SOUND!

Compared to competitors this one is either a winner or in the top 3. Excellent sound, great design and build quality, long-lasting battery. After playing with it for a while I figured that for the best experience it needs to be placed on a hard surface a few inches away from the wall or another hard surface to bounce the rear speaker sound off. Ideal for a shelf in a small room and can be carried around easily if desired. After buying one bought a second two months later. Cons - lack of input options, Bluetooth only.

This was my second wireless speaker from Marshall. My first one was the smaller version which I use all the time. The sound quality/volume is MORE than I expected on both. I’m prior service and worked on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, volunteer at my local gun range, instructor, and ride motorcycles.….I’m HARD OF HEARING so I like things at a volume I can hear, this thing delivers. If your just wanting something for a dorm room, apartment, or your bathroom so you can become the rock star you’ve always wanted to be in the shower, the smaller version is for you. It’s PLENTY LOUD enough. If you want something to be your primary source of sound in a modern sized home, or if your shenanigans moves to the backyard for a swim party or barbecue, this version is for you. Only con I’ll assign it is the battery life. I’m still impressed with it, but I’m not getting the advertised battery life on the package.

I bought this speaker a few months back I love how clear it is the bass it’s decent, but I love the the looks of this speaker so minimalistic the black and brass looks cool!

This is my second Marshall speaker purchase. My first one is the kilburn. So I saw this some and Where do I start with this speaker?? Wow it’s so amazing, sound quality is top notch. Honestly it’s the best sounding speaker I’ve heard from one this size. Battery life is outstanding, it’s says 20+ hours and it’s accurate, it last a really long time. Yeah I’m really impressed with it and I get compliments on it everywhere I take and is now my new favorite speaker. It’s just so easy to look at. Lol.

Sounds amazing for the size, use it every day and i love it

Very crisp and clear sound ,bass is also good ,one of the best yet that I have owned ,would recommend for a bedroom or office .
