Great product for price and sound is phenomenal best bang for buck, thanks best buy

Let me tell you the only thing small about this portable Bluetooth speaker is its size. The Marshall Emberton II portable Bluetooth speaker measure in at about 3 x 6.5 x 3 inches and weighs about 1.5lbs. This speaker is small enough to carry with you anywhere but delivers large sound with a durable build. The Emberton II supports Bluetooth 5.1 with rugged IP67 water (up to 3 feet) and dust resistant design. The speaker is wrapped in what seems to feel like either rubber or faux leather with a metal black grill and gold lettering and button. The speaker offers a 30+ hours of battery life that also supports fast charging, 20 minutes will give you 4 hours of playtime. The Emberton also has a feature called “Stack Mode”, which essentially allows you to connect multiple Emberton speakers together for a much larger sound. The speaker offers 360-degree sound which actually sounds pretty good. There is also an accompanying application with the Emberton. You will need to download the Marshall app that allows you set the EQ presets which include Marshall setting, Push, which is boosted bass and voice. At this time, you cannot create your own EQ setting and honestly, I did not feel the need to. I tested out the speaker on all three settings and they all sounded great, but I personally loved the Marshall setting. The music was rich, clear, loud and just perfect. This little speaker packs a might punch, it is louder and clearer in sound than some of the other known brands out there. I honestly think you need to give this a shot, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic speaker. Won't be be disappointed with it

Best portable speaker I’ve owned. The build quality is ridiculously good, the Bluetooth connection is rock great, and it looks super sleek. It’s loud enough for a backyard hangout but small enough to toss in a backpack. 30 hours of playtime is no joke! Literally lost the speaker for a year and when I found it, it still had 85% of its battery. If you want a speaker that looks as good as it sounds, just get it.

Marshall Emberton Il totally exceeded expectations. The sound is rich, clear and surprisingly powerful for such a compact size, with vocals and instruments all very distinct and balanced. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting a whole day of listening without needing a recharge, and the quick charge feature is very convenient for last-minute use. The IP67 dustproof and waterproof rating also makes it perfect for using in the bathroom, kitchen or outdoors without worrying about water splashes or rain. The classic Marshall design looks premium and stylish, and the build quality feels solid and durable in the hand. Bluetooth connection is stable, pairing is fast, and the multi-direction control knob makes volume and track control very intuitive. Overall, this is a portable speaker that combines great sound, long battery and cool design - definitely a five-star product and highly recommended

The Marshall Emberton II delivers, period. Battery life: A+, I’ve been playing it at no less than 50% volume and have had 26 hours of battery before I gave it a charge. It still had some life left. So the battery is spot on and will perform as advertised. Sound: A, overall the sound is very good. You do experience a bit of distortion at max volume, which is not a surprise. The distortion is minimal and varied between music genres, more noticeable with hard rock or deep base. When using the volume at nominal range 50-85% (is my opinion) the sound is crisp, it delivers the highs and mids on demand and the bass hits very well for such a compact design. Design A+, A minimalist approach yet very elegant and sleek. The beauty of the aged Marshall design makes it a great piece to sit anywhere you’d decide to place it. Connectivity: It paired quickly to my phone & tablet. It can also be paired to your desktop or laptop if you wish. No connection issues at time of testing. This speaker does not pair with the Marshall app at this time.

The Marshall Emberton II is an absolute powerhouse in a compact form. Its design is iconic, featuring the classic Marshall aesthetics with a durable build that feels premium and rugged, perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. The sound quality is exceptional for its size. The True Stereophonic sound technology creates an immersive 360-degree audio experience, delivering crisp highs, clear mids, and surprisingly deep bass. Whether you’re listening to soft acoustics or bass-heavy tracks, the Emberton II handles it all beautifully. Battery life is another highlight—it lasts up to 30 hours on a single charge, making it perfect for extended outings or weekend trips. The IP67 dust- and water-resistant rating ensures it can handle splashes or outdoor environments without any worry. Pairing is seamless with Bluetooth 5.1, and the connection remains stable even at a good distance. While it doesn’t have app support for EQ adjustments, the sound profile is so well-balanced that you might not even miss it. Overall, the Marshall Emberton II is a stylish, durable, and high-performing portable speaker that punches well above its weight in both sound and features. It’s a must-have for music lovers looking for a blend of classic style and modern functionality.

While I was tempted to purchase the Marshall Emberton III, as silly as this may sound, the Black and Silver color in addition to the fact the I didn’t need a microphone function through the speaker is why I opted to get the Emberton II. I also think that sound on the Emberton II is tab bit warmer. For reference I have an older Bose SoundLink Mini II with the microUSB connector. I have yet to find a bluetooth speaker the matches the warmth and depth of clarity on all frequencies similar to my Bose SoundLink Mini II including the newer Bose bluetooth speaker products. Here is why I think the Marshall Emberton II is a worthy comparison. 1. The functional and aesthetic design of the Emberton is simply unmatched by its competition, period. For me the waterproof functionality, the multifunction button, the molded outer casing of the speaker enclosure and the extended battery life of this speaker is what made selecting the Emberton as easy choice of over the competition. I didn’t want a speaker that was colored and designed in the shape of a UFO regardless of how well it may have produced sound. 2. My Bose SoundLink Mini II is my desktop computer speaker. The Emberton in all of excellent design execution is my portable speaker for travel and other on-the-go audio needs. 3. Sound quality: Both sound exceptional but are different. They both share a very warm and clear sound stage but I’d argue that the Bose has less of a digitally controlled sound than the Marshall. They both sound really really good but have different levels of warmth in the sound image. The best way I could describe it is in the difference in taste between dark and milk chocolate. I’d describe the Bose as having a sound image that is more like Milk Chocolate and the Marshall has a deep rich Dark Chocolate sound image. I listen to a lot of classical and opera music and there are time when I find the Marshall speaker simply better captures the live performance theatric of these genres of music. Conversely when I am listening to other genre’s of music including classic rock and roll, r&b, pop, easy listening, country, etc. I prefer the Bose. I don’t restrict my genre listing to one specific speaker. Rather a toggle my listening between both speakers. If you are a fan of the older version of the Bose SoundLink Mini II Bluetooth speaker and need another Bluetooth speaker, this is the speaker you want. I still mostly listen to my Bose SoundLink Mini II which i have had for a while now but this Marshall is worthy follow-up to everything I like about the SoundLink Mini II with a host of added functionality including the multifunction button, waterproofing, and extended battery life, as well a exceptional sound quality that makes it in my opinion ( assuming that the Bose SoundLink Mini II may not be available anymore ) the best current portable Bluetooth for the money. The Emberton II does not disappoint.

Just picked up the Marshall - Emberton II and this thing BUMPS! I am so impressed with this little speaker from the build quality to the sound quality. There really isn’t anything I don’t like about his speaker, it’s amazing. First, the build quality of this speaker is incredible. It truly looks like and feels like a real Marshall amplifier. I love the matte black metal grille, with the black speaker mesh behind it. The rubberized texture of the leather-looking top, bottom, and sides of the speaker feels so good in the hands and stays put when placing the speaker on a hard surface. The brass button on top matches the matte black perfectly, what a genius color combo here! Other than the looks, I have to say again this thing’s build quality is ridiculous. There are zero loose parts, no rattles, it's solid. The simplicity of this speaker is great. There are only 2 buttons, one is more of a toggle. One button turns Bluetooth on and pairs the device. The other button turns the speaker on and off (press button for 3 seconds) and has volume up/down and next track/reverse track. Pairing the speaker to my phone took 2 seconds, it was so easy. You will have t download the Marshall Headphones app to connect to your phone. That’s ok though because within the app you can fine-tune the speaker's sound with the EQ presets, go into “stack mode”, speaker/app updates, and explore more about Marshall Headphones right in the app. Stack mode is cool. If you have another Emberton 2 speaker or similar, you can “stack” the speakers and connect them for a louder sound, or even surround sound. The app is easy to navigate and is very intuitive. The speaker’s sound is amazing. This thing encapsulates you with music. It’s crazy how they can create a little handheld speaker that can hit the full range of highs to lows. The music and vocal audios are tight and crispy. The mids hit everything, and the lows are mind-blowing for the size of this tiny speaker. The speakers sound like they should be way bigger. I didn’t have any issues with the range of this speaker. I could see the audio fading in a large open area like a field, but if you are nearby on the beach, or if this speaker is played indoors, it bumps and it sounds good. I am very impressed with the sound quality of this speaker. What comes in the box is right to the point. It comes with the speaker, a USB Type-C charging cable, and a safety/user manual. The Emberton 2 now comes with a lot more features other than great sound. This speaker is a sealed portable speaker with two passive radiators, Stack Mode, 30+ hours of playtime, an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, Bluetooth 5.1, it is made of 50% recycled plastic, its professionally tuned by Marshall, all in a package weighing in at 1.5lbs. I absolutely love this little speaker with an enormous sound, and I recommend it to anyone who loves to party, but also to anyone who wants to both hear and feel the music they are playing. This little speaker turned out to be crazy good. I am so happy I picked up this amazing portable speaker. Marshall knocked it out of the park with this one.

The Marshall Emberton II is a compact and stylish Bluetooth speaker that lives up to the brand’s iconic aesthetic while delivering solid performance. Its rugged design, complete with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. The sound quality is impressive for its size, offering clear vocals and a balanced profile, though it doesn’t produce deep low-bass, which is expected from a speaker of this size. One of the speaker’s key selling points is its advertised battery life of up to 30 hours. However, in real-world usage, the performance can vary depending on factors like volume level and audio content. While it might not consistently reach the full 30 hours, it reliably provides a solid 5 hours of playback, even at higher volumes. This makes it a dependable choice for shorter outings or casual listening sessions. The Emberton II also supports Bluetooth 5.1 for stable connectivity and introduces ‘Stack Mode,’ which lets you connect multiple speakers for a bigger soundstage. Its control knobs are intuitive and add a touch of nostalgia to the modern design. While it lacks features like a built-in microphone for calls or voice assistant support, the Marshall Emberton II makes up for it with its portability, durability, and signature Marshall sound. If you’re looking for a speaker that combines style and functionality with robust audio, this is a great pick. Just keep in mind that the battery life may not always meet its maximum claims, but it delivers enough juice for most use cases.

I Love Marshall gear. I already have the Stanmore and the Acton, both of which I absolutely love for both their sound and their style, and now I have the awesome little Emberton II! I've owned several portable BT speakers over the last few years and while many were anywhere from OK to Good, the Emberton is the first where I thought, this sounds GREAT! Upon receiving the box, I was struck by just how small this thing is! Upon opening the box, I found the Emberton in all it's stylish glory along with a USB-C charging cable (which I promptly put back since I have a ton of them already around the house - yay bring on universal charging cables!). I plugged it in and the battery indicator showed that it was at about 60/70% out of the box but I wanted to go from a full charge to properly test the battery life of this thing. Once everything was charged up, I turned it on, hit the pairing button, and paired it with my iPhone 12 Pro. Within seconds I was rocking out to my testing playlist and incredibly surprised at the range of this minuscule monster of music! Does it have the chest thumping bass of my Stanmore or even my Acton, no not quite, but it does put out a heck of a lot more than any other portable speaker I've owned. I was able to 'goose' this a bit more by placing the Emberton on my desk next to the wall so that the sound could bounce off of it and give in a bit more oomph. It worked like a charm. Oh, you can download the Marshall App for three different EQ preset modes, but the 'standard' Marshall Sound is the best out of the three by far, so I'd just stick with it. I have been listening to the Emberton II for over 10 hours now and the battery indicator just hit the 80%. I have no doubt that I will get well beyond 30 hours with this thing, which is absolutely fabulous for a speaker this size. The controls on the Emberton II are easy as pie with a simple pairing button and a central multi-function "knob" which is actually more of a really short thumb-stick. Long press to turn it on, quick press for play/pause, up/down for volume, right/left for skip/back & fast forward/rewind. Easy peasy. I am sorely tempted to get another one of couple of these Embertons to try out the 'Stack' mode. With a couple in a stack you could really pump out the tunes, and with a few spread around a party, you could fill the room with music without absolutely blasting those near the speaker. I am absolutely tickled pink with the Emberton II, and I think you will be too. Style and substance at a great price. If you are looking for a great portable speaker (or speaker system), you can't go wrong with Marshall, and Emberton II is just the latest in their line of outstanding speakers.

***There are probably better sounding speakers at this price range, but none will feel or look as good. I was reluctant to pull the trigger on this purchase, but fortified with a $15 coupon and a cocktail, I ordered the Emberton II. I was skeptical because I felt like I was just buying it, maybe, for the looks, and yeah, I was. I use thisnspeaker primarily for listening to music and podcasts while showering, and to bring with me while traveling. It is just about the perfect size between packability and sound robustness. This thing feels solid, and looks really sharp. All my friends who have seen it love it, even those who were also jaded about the Marshall brand co-opted nature of the product. I am a klutz and have dropped this thing in the tub, wet and dry, and also on the tiled floor. No marks, no damage. It has a nice, wide soundstage and sounds robust. It doesn't feature the more rich (maybe exaggerated) bass that I tend to prefer, but it will rock out without distortion. Battery life is really great. I bought this in early April, have been using it about 40 minutes/week and after two months, the battery still shows half charge. Oh, the other cool thing is the battery meter. You get an always-on gauge with 10 bars. I dont know why I love that so much, probably because I hate having to drill down on my phone to check if my peripheral needs a juice up. If you are purely cost-driven, there are marginally better sounding speaker ls for the price, but I dont think any feel/look this good, especially with the robust battery life.

I did purchase it for $99 on sale, but it would still be worth the full price! I love the sound quality that it delivers and it is easy to tuck under my monitor or carry around. It does feel dense and a bit heavy, so be aware that it is not exactly the lightest product out there if you plan to take it around often. It looks even better in person and very easy to connect through bluetooth. I have used it for some time and have not needed to charge it yet, so it is great for long road trips or if you are running a booth for a while with no access to a power outlet. I previously owned a Killburn II and I must say that I would highly recommend this even more because it sounds fuller, takes up much less space, and is significantly cheaper.

This product offers exceptional audio fidelity, convenient portability, extended battery life, and a sophisticated aesthetic.

These speakers truly impress. The sound quality is incredibly rich, clear, and powerful, even from such a compact speaker. It’s honestly hard to believe how much sound comes out of something so small. The battery life is outstanding as well! It lasts a long time without needing a charge. I love how portable it is and how easy it is to take everywhere with me.

I bought this for my son's Christmas gift. He loves it. Says the sound is excellent with deep bass and crisp high tones. Connected to his iPhone easily and delivers clean sound at higher volumes. Battery life is exceptional and charges quickly. I'm just happy I picked a good "doesn't matter as long as it's Bluetooth" speaker. The Marshall logo is kinda cool and reminds me of the concert going days. Good purchase!

Great speaker way better than any of my jbl speakers. The sound is really crisp and loud. I used it for my outdoor baby shower and I could hear the music through out my house with the door closed. The volume wasn’t even all the way up. My shower lasted for 6+ hours and had no issues with battery life. Worth every penny I’ll definitely be sticking to this brand.

Liked the first one I purchased so much I had to get another one. Different color this time. Sounds great. Battery life is decent and a good quality Marshall design that looks good sitting on any desk or counter at home or the office.

This speaker is relatively small and portable, so I was surprised by the richness of the sound it produces. I can keep this in the living room while I’m going from room to room and not lose high or low tones. The bass is great right out the box, I couldn’t be happier.
