Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

***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 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.

The Marshall Emberton II is a great portable speaker! It's known for its iconic Marshall design, balanced audio, and impressive battery life (around 30 hours). It's also durable and water-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor use. Some reviews mention it lacks a bit of bass compared to larger speakers, but overall, it's highly praised for its sound quality and portability. If you're after a stylish, compact speaker with a good punch, the Emberton II is a solid choice!

I am blown away by the Marshall Emberton II! This thing is insane. It’s crazy how something so small can get so loud. It seriously fills a room (and more) without breaking a sweat. The sound quality is fantastic, super clear with a nice balance across highs, mids, and bass. The size is another huge win for me. It fits easily in my bag, so I can literally take it anywhere from road trips to just chilling at the park. Plus, the black and brass color scheme looks absolutely premium. It feels solid and stylish at the same time. The app is pretty cool too, with three different sound presets to choose from. I just wish there was an option to customize my own presets but sadly you’re limited to the ones provided. Still, not a deal-breaker at all. Overall, if you’re looking for a portable speaker that punches WAY above its weight, the Emberton II is the one. Highly recommend!

What a cool retro look. Easy to connect to Bluetooth on iPhone. Great sound. I just love looking at it. Battery life is acceptable but I don’t typically travel with it so can’t really review the life. Range met my needs. Satisfied with purchase!

The Marshall Emberton II speaker packs a mighty punch. I already have very good speaker in the same price point and didn't expect to be so impressed with this one. The preset options allow for the full sound, heavy vocals, or heavy base. I enjoy the full sound option the most (the speaker comes programed to play full sound right out of the box). I don't really find the app that necessary for one speaker. I imagine that 2 or more speakers would be when I'd add the app, for stacking them together (knowing what I know now). The privacy policy is very difficult to view on the app too. I'm still not sure of what remains private, and this is NOT good. The first song I put on blew me away. I heard subtle new layers in the music that my other speaker did not deliver. It was pretty awesome. I'm going to enjoy using this for my workouts at home (I don't use wireless earbuds anymore due to RF radiation concerns). I will also enjoy this outdoors by the pool. It's not advertised as waterproof, but that's not a big deal. Charges quickly and lasts a long time. There's volume control, plus forward and back arrows to skip to the next song. The back arrow doesn't go past the current song, it only restarts the song. Not all wireless speakers will let you skip songs from the unit, so I appreciate this option. It also comes with a USB charging cord. I'm very pleased with this speaker. Hope to get a second one so I can experience the stacking capabilities.

The Marshall Emberton II offers rich, 360° sound in a compact, stylish cream design. With Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, an IP67 waterproof rating, and over 30 hours of battery life, it’s perfect for on-the-go listening. The intuitive control knob and Marshall app add convenience, though it lacks a built-in mic and AUX input. Pros: Excellent sound quality Long battery life Durable and waterproof Cons: No microphone for calls No wired audio option Great for those who want powerful, portable sound with vintage style.

Small, sounds great with powerful sound. This thing beats my old Beats Pill by a huge margin in my opinion with richer and fuller sound. Looks better too... The better in this thing is also excellent!

The Marshall Emberton II is a Bluetooth speaker that effortlessly blends style, durability, and exceptional sound quality. Here’s why it’s a must-have: Stylish Design: With its Black and Brass or Cream finish, the Emberton II exudes timeless elegance. The multi-directional control knob adds a vintage touch, while the IP67 dust and water resistance make it beach-ready1. Balanced Sound: Dual 2-inch 10W full-range drivers and passive radiators deliver rich, clear audio. Whether you’re into rock, podcasts, or classical music, the Emberton II won’t disappoint2. Long Battery Life: Enjoy up to 30 hours of playtime on a single charge. Plus, fast charging means you’re back to rocking out in no time1. Portable Perfection: At 700g and compact dimensions (68 x 160 x 76mm), it’s easy to take the Emberton II wherever you go1. While it lacks features like a microphone or wired connectivity, the Emberton II’s sound quality and durability make it a top pick for music enthusiasts.

It has a really good sound. Light weight which makes easy to carry everywhere. The color is beautiful I got the beige looking speaker. The app is easy to use as very helpful. Battery life is awesome, I have only charged the speaker once

There's no way you go anywhere without noticing the aesthetic of this speaker if it's playing nearby. That in of itself is probably the biggest draw as the materials are top notch with leather grain pattern on a rubbery surface. The brass looking knob atop the case exudes an attention to design and this speaker has it in spades. I do not think I've ever seen a more arresting small speaker. Overall functionality is good and you can tell the designers wanted to make sure you understood what was happening with the hardware. There's a red column of lights that shows the overall charge when you first turn on the speaker and it also serves to note the volume when you're wanting to change that. Again the choice of coloration and lights serves to make the entire setup look high-end as compared with the normal plastic speakers you commonly see. The included IP67 rating is further evidence of attention to detail and while I personally wouldn't be taking this speaker out on the beach because I'd like to keep it looking pristine, it's obvious that it's more than capable of the jaunt to the pool or such. Sound quality is as you expect in this form factor. The heavy bass will always be lacking but the dual 2 inch drivers do their best to provide the clean auditory punch of lower registers. You won't feel it but you can still hear it fairly well. This speaker doesn't have the oomph to really fill an outdoor space with sound, I'd classify is as a medium room or personal space type speaker although it does appear to have the functionality to pair with a second one to provide stereo sound. The processor definitely keeps things ratcheted down if you try to really crank the volume (probably to prevent distortion which is in keeping with the clean sound signature). Overall love the elegant aesthetic as it is a highly functional and awesome looking speaker.

Portable, loud, and very pretty. Many people complemented the sound and looks!! Worth every cent! Would play for 6-8 hours straight

This is my third marshall speaker! I cannot get enough of them, they sound amazing. The first one I purchased was the Emberton 1. It lasted about 3 years but the button was very faulty, it was used as the power, volume, and skip. Luckily, Marshall wised up and upgraded that system. I’m thrilled with my Marshall Emberton 3 speaker and it’s seperate buttons for power, connection, and volume. I’ll never own another brand of bluetooth portable speakers

This little guy is the perfect portable bluetooth. Love the speakers on both sides to give that 360 surround sound feeling. Perfect amount of bass and clarity and easy to move around and transport because of its small size, homerun hitter. I own about 8 bluetooth speakers and this one is by far my favorite.

Really good sound quality , compact, long battery life, love it.

The top quality material that protects the product in case of falls is of very good quality, very good volume for people who like to enjoy good quality, I already have a time with her. I do not regret finding it purchased, the load capacity of the battery at 75% volume will give you a good time of fun in your meetings with family or friends.I recommend it 100%

I bought this a while ago for usse on the boat I work on. It is very nice and the size is just right. Sound quality is spot on, hooked right up to my phone. Volume cna get very loud for its size. Nice that it uses usb c to charge.

I bought the Marshall Emberton II from Best Buy and I’m really enjoying it. The sound quality is amazing for its size, and I use it every day. The battery lasts long and it’s super easy to carry around. Totally worth it!

I have to say that this Marshall portable speaker does not disappoint and packs a powerful punch of balance and beaming music. It is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. In addition, Marshall has not sacrificed the functionality and practically in their design. I highly recommend giving this speaker a try. Once again, a best buy @Bestbuy...
