Customers appreciate the Emberton II's exceptional sound quality, citing its clarity, balanced audio across frequencies, and surprisingly loud volume for its size. The long battery life and convenient portability are also frequently praised, making it ideal for travel and various settings. Many users highlight the speaker's pleasing design and robust water resistance. While some find the weight substantial, this is generally viewed positively as it prevents movement during use.

    This is a very small, very cool looking, very good sounding portable Bluetooth speaker that, in my opinion, has the coolest startup and shut down sounds that I have heard from a speaker. Both guitar riffs are just so cool and add a great touch to this speaker. The faux leather look and branded Marshall signature makes this look like a mini speaker that you would see on stage of your local band playing at your favorite small venue. This speaker preforms way better than its small statue would imply, and I am very impressed with the sound, the highs are not distorted when at full volume and the bass is deep and full. I charged the Emberton II via the USB Type C connector to full charge, which took it a few hours to fully charge and after about 30 minutes of playing music, the Marshall Bluetooth app (they need a better name since it just shows as “Bluetooth” in my app drawer) showed it was already down to 80%. I was very concerned that the rated 30 hours of battery life would not be achieved, but after the initial drop in power, it has lasted a full 30 hours plus some. I am going to call that a bug since it has not happened again to me. Regarding the app, besides the name that needs to be changed, it is pretty basic, but has the features that you like such as setting one of the three presets, starting stack mode, battery indicator and the ability to control the music you are listening to. Overall this is a nice sounding speaker that has a great battery life, IP67 Dust and Water-Resistant, Bluetooth 5.1, and is made with 50% recycled plastic so you can fell a little better about your purchase and helping the planet.

    DON’T BE FOOLED BY ITS SIZE!!!

    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.

    Marshall Emberton II: Powerful Sound Package

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Amazing portable BT speaker with BIG sound

    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.

    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 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.
