Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easily out of the box, the Marshall - Emberton speaker sets itself apart with its classic Marshall styling. It has a miniature retro Marshall amp/floor monitor vibe with the box styling and gold script writing and control button. The black fence mesh grills on front and back are wrapped with a soft but durable feeling rubber trim. The speaker has a good hefty feel for the small size and will definitely stay in place wherever you sit it down to enjoy so good vibes. It comes with a simplistic design factor of using a single usb-c power input, multi directional rocker control button for power, skip, and volume, a Bluetooth connect button, and a very helpful and visible battery level led scale on top. I was expecting a good classic sound from this speaker when powered up and I was introduced with a “guitar hero” chord entry on power up and outro on power down. Very simple aesthetic but I really enjoyed this subtle touch. Now the sound continued from here and I was disappointed when connected to my phone. I was surprised at the powerful sounds produced from this somewhat small form factor speaker. I pushed the volume to the max on several different genres of music and the speaker held its own. There was dynamic vocals and a good spectrum of bass. There was little to no distortion in the sound produced at high volumes and the sound carried throughout the room. I then took the speaker poolside and was able to enjoy clear sound while enjoying the pool. This speaker is designated as water resistant but I didn’t want to test that too much even though it has a durable feel with the rubber surround and very well protected mesh grills. I really appreciate the led battery indicator so you have a feel for when its time to plug the speaker into power source. However, I used this speaker for hours at high volumes and only used three of the ten bars of battery. Overall, I am very pleased with this speaker and will carry it with me whenever I can as it is small enough to be portable without being cumbersome and powerful enough to enjoy anywhere.

top quality speaker-very pleased with performance.

Wish it was louder but then again I listen to most things too loud

The battery life could be better but overall a great small portable speaker to have.

No improvment except battery. Emberton was good compared to two

It’s sometime hard to connect to Bluetooth of any player even you reset it distorted

Little speaker, big sound. Out of every small bluetooth speaker I have owned or used, this is the one that has impressed me the most. First off the classic guitar amp styling and rubberized exterior looks and feels great. Using it in a shop environment, the speakers durability was put to the test! This speaker is very durable as it survived many falls including one that was nearly a 6ft drop off of a liftarm. The one thing I wish this speaker had was some way to hang or fasen it to something (such as a magnet or hook even). The top center controls are simple to use with the touch of the finger. It has an easy to read battery life indicator. Having speakers on both side makes for a 360 degree listening area. Outstanding sound quality in any area I've put it in; from my noisy automotive shop to the back yard patio. It offers deep bass and clear midrange and highs. I feel this speaker is not only louder, but boasts more crisp, clear vocals in comparison to even "higher end" speakers we own of similar configuration. This is the one area where most all bluetooth speakers of this size fall short. Marshall did not disappoint on the audio quality. No matter the type of music you listen to, you wont be disappointed. I do however feel they did fall short on the EQ functionality in the Marshall app. With only having 3 preset EQ settings makes it difficult to fine tune for optimal user preference. In my opinion, the app is nearly useless. This speaker has a decent battery life, so far at full volume I have gotten 16+ hours of continuous play time. This speaker seems to charge more rapidly than others we own as well.

Pretty good speaker not so loud. Great for rock and indoor music and you can play it loud and neighbors won’t hear it

I've been having reoccurring problem getting my freaking e cards emailed too me once again its been like almost a week haven't received nothing not even a text or emails frome you updating me of anything and i have no clue where my money went. The speaker went fine got it perfectly

The Marshall Emberton II Bluetooth speaker is a little gem of a speaker. It's my first Marshall product I've owned but Ive been relatively familiar with the Brand, and its well-known expertise in the music world. They've done a nice job continuing that with this consumer bluetooth speaker. The speaker's design speaks directly to the brand's heritage. It looks like a mini amp with a grilled front and back and a leatherette covering wraps the rest of the unit. The Marshall logo on the front grill and the single, multi-function button of this speaker are clad in brass which feels classical. I'm not a huge fan of gold plating on anything but I'll give them one this since it feels quite nostalgic. It's a compact speaker measuring 6.25" w x 2.5" h x 3" deep. As I mentioned, It's wrapped in a soft touch vinyl that is pebbled to look like leather. It has one, omni-directional button on top that is used for: play, pause, volume up & down, and next & previous track. Also on the top, you'll find a subtle button for pairing and then a red LED light bar that shows the battery level status. I really like only having to use a single button to control the majority of this speaker's functions. It has a 30 hour battery, it's IP67 rated for water and dust (which is great!) and it's apparently partially made from recycled materials – that's a huge plus. It is slightly customizable via the downloadable Marshall app. Once I connected it, via bluetooth 5.1, I had the opportunity to select from 3 preset equalizer options. One that heroes more bass, one that emphasizes more treble and then the "Marshall" tuned option that they feel is the best of both. I agree that the latter sounds the best. In the app, you also have the option to link two Marshall speakers together, called "stack mode." I've seen this option with several bluetooth speaker manufacturers and I think it's a great option if you own more than one Marshall portable speaker. That is really all the app offers and I really wish there were more options for customization, like a user-defined equalizer option. It's a pretty stark app but maybe they'll add more features in future updates. Sound quality is great. It packs quite a punch for being so small. But, since it has a horizontal footprint it doesn't seem to have that 360 degree sound that many other vertical speakers have. I am not complaining but just wanted to let people know. I played different genres of music and it sounded good for each. I especially liked it with classical music. Overall, it's a very competent little speaker and I look forward to using it by the pool, at the lake and in the park this summer and beyond.

When turn up volume above 70% the sound start not clear and too much treble

So disappointing.....cheap sound quality, has horrible sound volume and way overpriced....returned it within a few days for a cheaper jbl and was stoked. Better overall all around

Lack of bass ando feel like a cheaper one, but looks good

Dead on arrival. Open-Box but no one checked to make sure it would charge. When I returned it, there were no more Open-Box and the price went up from $99 to $170. Manage on duty said that Open-Box items are "hit and miss". So much for "excellent rating". Bought used on Amazon and it works great!

Pretty, loud and quit working after 3 days. Not a happy camper

Bought the speaker in December and noticed that the speaker drains battery when off. From full charge to dead within a few weeks even when not in use. Went through all the recommended troubleshooting and now, after all that, Marshall is demanding I send the unit back to be examined. If they find no problem according to them, I need to pay to have my speaker returned. I have never experienced such poor customer service. Any other company would have shipped a replacement pronto. I had a minor issue with JBL headphones a few years back and they replaced almost by overnight mail. Do not buy!

I bought it with the box open in excellent condition and the cell phone didn't work. I had to stay close to the speaker to avoid losing connection.

Excelente profuct. My battery doesnt work good i don't know what happenest

Im in love with the emberton II. Im a guitar player that also love Marshall amps. Small but rocks

This is one of the most perfect small speakers ever! I love the Marshall brand of speakers because they are really good quality speakers. This is another great addition to our speakers and our 2nd Marshall speaker. It has not disappointed at all. It definitely lives up to the brand name. The quality of sound is excellent. It sounds great for a small speaker. The look of the Marshall speakers is so sleek and retro looking and we love it. Everyone who sees our Marshall speaker compliments the look and sound. It took only took about an hour to reach full charge and I have not had to charge it since. I have taken it on a 3 hour bike ride and used it here and there at home and I have yet to charge it. It is still about 50% and that is pretty dang awesome. I love how small it is, yet the sound quality is loud and great. If you judge sound based on the bass, then you make not like this. The bass is not pounding so you can feel it, but the sound is loud and clear and I am okay with that. I actually prefer the sound without too much bass because then it won't disturb my neighbors but nice and loud for a bike ride or at the beach. If I haven't said it enough, this speaker is perfect! We love it.
