Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely love this speaker! The sound quality is clear and rich with great bass for its size. The design looks classic and stylish, and it feels very well built. It’s easy to connect and the battery life lasts longer than I expected. Perfect for home use or small gatherings. Highly recommend!

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 recently bought a Marshall speaker from Best Buy, and I’m genuinely impressed with the overall quality. The sound is rich, loud, and well-balanced, with deep bass and clear vocals even at higher volumes. The build quality feels premium, and the classic Marshall design looks great in any room. Battery life is solid, and Bluetooth connectivity is quick and stable. It’s a bit pricey, but the performance and style definitely justify the cost.

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.

***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.

Pairing is easy with this compact speaker and the mobile app adds features like multiple speaker pairing. The sound is quite incredible when placed in an appropriate location and surface. The speaker is fairly rugged but not necessarily designed for rough outdoor use. No clip to attach but sits on any mostly flat surface. Gets very loud with no distortion at most volumes. Great rich sound with multiple listening modes and unique sound capabilities. Great value for a smaller speaker. Awesome awesome battery life with USB C charging.

I love this speaker. Im by no means an audiophile but the sound is clean and distinct. I love the style of the speaker and the color is awesome. the battery life is pretty good and its held up physically when im not particularly kind to it. overall I recommend for the casual listener.

I picked up this speaker when it was 50% off, and I’m really happy with it. The build is solid, and it’s small enough to take anywhere, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Setting it up was a breeze. Pairing it with my phone and computer took no time, and the connection has been really reliable. The sound is impressive for its size. The bass is deep but not overpowering, and the highs and mids are nice and clear. It’s great for both home use and small gatherings. Plus, the battery life is fantastic.

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!

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

This product offers exceptional audio fidelity, convenient portability, extended battery life, and a sophisticated aesthetic.

I bought this for my son's Christmas gift. He loves it. Says the sound is excellent with deep bass and crisp high tones. Connected to his iPhone easily and delivers clean sound at higher volumes. Battery life is exceptional and charges quickly. I'm just happy I picked a good "doesn't matter as long as it's Bluetooth" speaker. The Marshall logo is kinda cool and reminds me of the concert going days. Good purchase!

These speakers truly impress. The sound quality is incredibly rich, clear, and powerful, even from such a compact speaker. It’s honestly hard to believe how much sound comes out of something so small. The battery life is outstanding as well! It lasts a long time without needing a charge. I love how portable it is and how easy it is to take everywhere with me.

Great speaker way better than any of my jbl speakers. The sound is really crisp and loud. I used it for my outdoor baby shower and I could hear the music through out my house with the door closed. The volume wasn’t even all the way up. My shower lasted for 6+ hours and had no issues with battery life. Worth every penny I’ll definitely be sticking to this brand.

Liked the first one I purchased so much I had to get another one. Different color this time. Sounds great. Battery life is decent and a good quality Marshall design that looks good sitting on any desk or counter at home or the office.

This speaker is relatively small and portable, so I was surprised by the richness of the sound it produces. I can keep this in the living room while I’m going from room to room and not lose high or low tones. The bass is great right out the box, I couldn’t be happier.

I use this to watch shows on my laptop. It's great for clearer low level shows. The sound can go up and down dramatically, sometimes during the show. May be more of an app issue than a device issue. I wish it had some way to manage consistent volume. Also, it's not that loud but it's very portable and has a decent battery. I would recommend if you're looking for the portability, durability and decent sound to replace PC speakers, then this is great.

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.

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!

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!
