Customer Ratings & Reviews

I researched many portable speakers before I decided to purchase the Marshall Emberton II. The sound quality is very good, esp for a portable speaker, and I like that there is an option to vary the equalizer settings, even though there are only 3 settings for it. Depending on the type of music I am listening to, I find that these 3 settings are adequate, even though I would prefer to have full control to select equalizer settings. I also liked the multi-directional sound from this little speaker. It really expands the sound and makes it seem like the sound is coming from a much larger speaker than this occupies. The design of this portable speaker is very modern and the quality of the materials and durability appear to be top notch - what you would expect out of a Marshall product. I'm very happy with this speaker and glad that I purchased it.

This speaker is fantastic. I bought one for my computer and I use it also working on projects in my garage. It has great sound and gets really loud for a smaller speaker. I bought a second one for my son for his birthday! The battery life is awesome! I have only had to charge it once and used it continuously for 8 hours straight 3 days in a row before it had one bar left. It takes a few hours to fully charge. Worth every penny!

I bought this as a present for my wife, for when she pursues her urban farming projects outside. It's totally cool, sounds great and even makes a Bluetooth-averse grump old man like me like it!

This Marshall speaker is very unique and distinctive in its own way. It's like a modern vintage speaker. It's very well constructed with a rugged body and metal grills. The rugged body from a far you may think is leather. The black and bronze accent makes this thing standout. On the top you have a joystick in the center that acts as a control and power button. Moving the stick up or down you control the volume. Left and right you control the tracks. By pressing it down you control the on/off. When powering on or off the speaker makes this pretty cool guitar melody. On the top you also have the pairing button and a battery meter. I really like the battery meter. I find it very useful as you can easily figure out how much battery you have left by just looking at it. When you charge the speaker using the provided USBA to USBC cable the meter makes this cool charging animation. When it comes to sound, it is very loud with clear highs. On the low side is ok, the bass is not as deep as I thought it would be. If you want to experience a better base, position the speaker close to a wall, preferably a corner. Bouncing the sound from the wall will generate a much richer and deeper base. This thing has speaker radiators in the back so you get sound from both sides. It also has an ip67 rating so yes it can get a little wet. Something I found strange was this speaker being Bluetooth, you cannot take phone calls. It does not have a built-in mic, so when the call comes through you have to take the phone. I usually don't take calls on those speakers but that’s just me and having the option to do so is a plus. When it comes to battery manufacturers, they have it rated at 30 plus hours of portable time. I used it for a little over 6 hours non-stop and it went dead. Take into account I did have it at high volume so that probably contributed to draining the battery at a higher rate. Overall this is a really good speaker with a distinctive signature and a rugged body that will last for a long time. In the box you get the speaker, charging USBC cable, and manual.

This speaker was super easy to connect to via Bluetooth, has a great sound, classy look and feel, and I still haven’t had to recharge it after several sessions of usage. I feel this speaker is a perfect companion for my photo shoots and helps set a great mood when wanting to jam out and get fired up. I hope I can get another one simply to make use of the pairing functionality!

This is one of the best Bluetooth speakers out there in this size category and price range. I also have the first gen Bose SoundLink Flex, which is also a great speaker. Both the Flex and the Emberton have their strong points. The Emberton has 360° sound which makes the listening experience more immersive with its incredible soundstage. Plus the Battery life on the Emberton II is much better than the Flex. Also, you gotta love the looks of the Emberton. I know many people prefer to have speakers with microphones, I could not care less about this feature. I am very selective and picky about sound quality. I have purchased and returned many Bluetooth speakers over the years that just didn't make the cut, and I still own Bluetooth speakers from Klipsch, Sony, and Harman Kardon, in addition to the Bose and Marshall brands. Remember what Jan Brady used to say, "Marshall, Marshall, Marshall!" Just get it, especially since it's currently on sale for $99 - it's an easy choice and you won't regret it!

You want great sound ,solid baterry,great speaker of small size

Love the sound quality and looks of this speaker. This was my second one so I could use the stack mode, and I’m very impressed how the sound fills a large room. Stack mode can be a little annoying to sync up, but worth the effort. Also, great battery life and very durable.

Great sound, great battery life and looks great. You won't be disappointed.

Best portable speaker I have ever owned. The battery lasts forever and the music is awesome even at lower levels. Love IT!

Sounds great, battery lasts forever and it looks awesome.

This is the best bluetooth speaker that I've owned. I love the look, feel and exceptional sound. Super extended battery life. Appears and sounds made of superior quality just like a real Marshall amplifier. Highly recommended.

Perfect size and great sound. Easy connection Long charge

I've had my eye on the Marshall brand for some time now and I finally pulled the trigger with this Bluetooth speaker and I'm happy I did! First of all, the look and feel of the speaker are solid! It's small but packs a punch! Sound and the bass are amazing! Highly recommended!

This little speaker packs a big punch. I bought it for my office, but it outperforms the speakers that my employees use downstairs. It also stays charged for a long time and it's portability is so convenient.

Before getting to the Jekyll & Hyde sound this speaker gives you, I'll cover the other aspects. We'll start with the build quality of this speaker. The speaker itself is very well made and has a good weight to it for a smaller speaker. The rubbery type feel has a leather-type pattern to it, which looks nice. The metal grille on both front and back looks very stylish. It really does look the part of a quality speaker to justify the price tag. It would look great sitting on a desk, in a den or man cave. This speaker is supported by the Marshall app. The app itself is very basic. There is an EQ option, but it's just 3 pre-set configurations, one of which is really only good for stuff like podcasts. The default EQ is really the best option, so not much use for the app unless you are waiting to use more than one of these wireless in what they refer to as "stack" mode. Sound wise, this is where the speaker is Jekyll & Hyde. At lower to medium volume, the speaker sounds fairly smooth with a nice little bump to the bass for a small speaker. This isn't a very loud speaker, so as you turn it up to about 75-80% or more, this is where Mr. Hyde shows himself. At higher volume levels the bass disappears and the upper treble gets very bright. At max volume this speaker sounds quite harsh and really lacking in bass. It's pretty much not enjoyable at max volume. So in the end, if you need a speaker to just listen at lower levels, this speaker sounds pretty nice and looks fantastic. It does have a driver and passive radiator on both front and back, which means you don't get the full force of the sound pointing at you no matter how you position it. Best to sit it on a corner to let the sound shoot front and back to also get a boost in the bass output from being in the corner. But if you want something you can crank up in a small or medium room, this might give cause to call the police and report there has been a violent assault on your ears.

This speaker is the perfect gift for any music lover. The sound is incredibly punchy with great bass, and it gets surprisingly loud for such a small, compact size. Despite its portability, the audio quality doesn’t disappoint—it’s crisp, rich, and fills the room easily. On top of that, the design looks and feels premium, making it feel like a high-end piece of tech. It’s an impressive combination of performance and style—definitely a worthwhile investment.

Bass wise, this is a powerful little speaker. I bought it September 2024 and I've used it almost every day since so the longevity is there. I do wish that it was a bit louder, but the sound is great for its size. The charge could last a bit longer as well.

This little unit was marvelous to have for my garden party. It played my online playlist with great fidelity. It is easy to change the volume or pause the sound right from the speaker. The battery is good too. I may buy another one because I like it so much!
