    I chose between Marshall Sony XE 300 JBL Charge 5 and I stopped at it because I compared the sound quality at home, not in the store. Worth the price. The quality of the material is super

    Very good value for the price. It doesn’t have a lot of base but the medium and high tones are over the top! Very good speakers for r and b or jazz listeners!

    Marshall is not for everyone. Just like vanilla or chocolate. However, if this little devil is your flavor! Keep on rocking the details and high/lows exponentially

    The Eberton III is a small speaker with rich, room-filling, sound and excellent battery life! Design I think this is an incredible looking speaker! It feels solid and well made. I think the grate on the front and back is metal. It definitely has a good "Marshall" look. It feels very solid - with quite a bit of weight to it for the size. It has speakers firing out the front and the back, giving it what I think is an excellent room filling sound that is more than you would expect from a Bluetooth speaker of this size. The controls, mic (it can be used with your phone to answer calls), and battery indicator are on top. More info below on those. There is a place to attach a lanyard on the bottom corner towards the back. but for some reason, no lanyard is included. It actually says not included in the manual. I looked because at first I thought I missed it in the packaging. It's waterproof (1 meter under water for 30 minutes) and dust proof but it looks so incredible, the last thing I want to do is get it dirty! It could be really hard to clean the dirt out of the front and back grills. When I paired it to my phone, it also asked if I wanted to pair using Bluetooth Low Energy. I haven't seen may devices use that. The USB C charging port is on the right side. Controls There is a four-way rocker button on top to control it. Press down for play/pause/answer (call functions), forward/backward for volume control, and left/right for next and previous. I would rather have separate buttons, but this works well and the fact that the control is so large makes it easy to use. It's recessed down in the top so it should be less likely to break. The top also has a power button and a Bluetooth button. Those are a bit hard to see in bad lighting but you can feel where they're at and they're easy to press. Sound When I first saw it, I was a little concerned that the sound would be a little weak, as small as it is. I thought it would be a little bigger. Then I heard it and I was nothing but impressed! It puts out amazing sound! Rap with deep bass, classical with frequencies all over the spectrum, and lots of other music, as far as I could tell everything was being reproduced faithfully. Highs were high and bass was very good - better than I expected from a speaker this small. And did you catch the part earlier where I mentioned it playing audio out the front and the back?! That's no joke! It seems to have duplicate speakers firing in both directions. I kept flipping it around while listening and moving around it, I couldn't tell a difference. Both sides sounded full and accurate - and the same volume. So it really does produce what I think it excellent, room-filling sound. Marshall calls it 360 degree sound. Battery Life Marshall claims 35 hours on a charge and I totally believe it! I've used it for many, many hours, at different volume levels, and it's still at 79%! Even though that wasn't all at high volume, I've used it a lot and I'm very impressed by the battery life! Besides that, there is an excellent battery life display with 10 bars! It seems most devices will have maybe 3 to 5 bars, if any. This is great because not only can see how much power is left, you can also get a better idea of the speed it's going down. Then, using the app, you can increase the lifetime of your battery. There are three levels of "Battery Preservation", "Standard" - which sets the maximum charge to 95%, "Medium" - which also reduces the charging speed if the temperature is outside the ideal range, and "Max" - which limits the charging speed all the time. All of those settings help the battery last longer over time. You can also set Battery Preservation to "None" if you want. Marshall Bluetooth App The App is pretty simple but offers a few nice features. One, you can set the EQ. There are three options, the default of Marshall - which I think is nicely balanced, "Push" - which boosts the bass and treble. It's noticeable and I think a great option to have. I'm still sticking with Marshall most of the time. Then there's the third option which is "Voice" to, as you would expect, bring out the vocals a little more. There are no other EQ settings available but for me and for this speaker, I'm very happy with that. The other main feature of the app is the "Battery Preservation" settings, mentioned above. You can also use the app to see other Marshall speakers as well as system things like upgrading the firmware. Summary The Emberton III, to me, is a high quality, refined, Bluetooth speaker. From the look and feel to the sound it puts out it shows that this is a "III" and not a first attempt. Here are some things it doesn't do, in case any of them are deal breakers for you. As far as I can tell there is no left/right separation for stereo - with it being so small the stereo may not even be noticeable anyway if it had it. There is no 1/8" inch stereo in/aux jack or even a USB-C to 1/8" in stereo. I wish it came with a lanyard, but at least it has a place to attach one. It would be cool if when you changed volume, the battery indicator would switch to volume level temporarily - maybe they could do that with a firmware update. There is no pairing with any other Marshall speakers. Some other Marshall models do offer that. But overall, for a portable Bluetooth speaker, it's got excellent sound, it's waterproof and made to handle some dirt too...and the battery life is incredible!
