Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had excellent service and incredible delivery. I ordered the speaker in store mid-afternoon, and it was at my house the next morning!! I'm very happy with the quality and performance of my Marshall speaker plus I got it for an incredible sale price.

I have been wanting a new midsized bluetooth speaker for a while. I have a 10 year old one that still works ok, and stays charged for quite a while (8 hours) but the app is no longer supported for the equalizers. I have two other small speakers, but one the batter is dead, and the other is going. I had seen these on display and demo'd and I really liked this compared to many others. The footprint on this is smaller than my phone, height is descent. The build is sturdy, it is water and dust resistant. The manual says waterproof….I still say resistant. The soft metal feel is good, and it is heavy/sturdy. I habe the black/copper and it looks like a mini amp. Battery life is rated at 32 hours, I usually use it for 4 to 6 hours at a time, I know it lasts for most work weeks (5 days) then I charge it, usually in the 20's % charge when I plug it in. There is an app for this for updating firmware and there are 3 equilizer settings. You can also see charge of battery. The Marshall mix setting is the best balanced, but punch works well also for much of my garage/guitar driven rock I play. Voice I'm sure would be good for audio books, I just don't do them. I wish this had a custom mix, but I habe not found it if it does. Not a big deal, it sounds good with their mix. The buttons to control are very well marked and laid our, with good feel on the center knob push/tilt for pause, volume, and skip. There is a red led light strip that indicates battery life visually without the app. l have an android phone and then I turned this on the first time, it detected the new speaker and asked to pair and pulled up the link to download the app right away. That worked well, but even if it wasn't automatic, easy enough set up. The volume it gets to is quite respectable. My office is 12x13 and it is loud in there, and with my door closed I can hear it across the house easily when in upper volume range. I did go to max on a few songs just to push it a bit, no distortion witj either the Marshall or punch equilizer. This does produce a crisp treble and bass very distinctly without mushing the vocals. I am using albums I have listened to thousands of times and many are platinum sellers, so I've heard them from single am radio speaker in an old truck to 7.1 surround systems in atmos mix, and am familiar with what they should sound like, and this reproduces the sound very well. The sound also does not feel directional, but flows out in all directions. The price on this is competative for quality mid range bluetooth speakers, which is where my 10 year old one fell when I bought it, and you get what you pay for. This is worth going above the basics. I feel cost here is returned with quality. I have experience with an ultra premium brand's speaker that is near this size, and for the price difference (msrp to msrp, not counting sales) is about 2 to 3 Andrew Jackson’s higher, not worth it. This competes head to head with the best. I can find no faults. Five stars. Meets all my goals. The style of the mini amplifier, the solid buttons and feel. Battery life in theory is better than the more expensive ones. A good speaker.

The speaker is mind-blowing. The bass and treble are too good

So I’ve owned the Marshall Emberton III for about a week now and I love it. It is such a cool “little” speaker. It has a really cool retro feeling yet minimalist design. I like the grills on the front and back of the speaker. The whole speaker has a grippy , rubbery silicone feel. It is very very sturdy, I feel like I could chock a motorcycle tire with it haha. It has rear and front firing speakers for a 360 degree sound experience. The gold button on top is a push button but also toggles up , down, left and right for music controls. It sports the iconic Marshall logo on the front. Stylish all around. Battery life is excellent, I’ve yet to need to recharge it after using it all week. I used it for about 3 hours one night while I painted my bedroom door and doorframe. The battery still shows about 80% battery. I think it will easily last a whole day at the pool or beach with juice to spare. The battery charges with a standard usb C cable. I use my fast charging cable and it charges up in a couple of hours. Sound quality: is Excellent! For its size. The default sound profile has a well balanced sound. Perfect for rock music. It is quite loud for its size and I think it is perfect for small gatherings, work and play. I think most people would love the sound quality of it straight out of the box but if you’re like me… I like a litttle more bass in my speakers, so I tweaked it with the Marshall Bluetooth app located in the App Store. It allows you to see battery status, change the EQ and play music easily and conveniently. Would I recommend it? Yes! It has very good sound quality, build quality is fantastic. It is rugged, portable and dust / splash proof. Take with you to the pool or barbecue!

This is my second Marshall Emberton speaker. I bought the second for a gift and they love it! I travel everywhere with mine. Highly recommend.

Over the years I have owned both Bluetooth speakers and earbuds made by Marshall and have enjoyed their sound quality, but most of all, their craftsmanship. This new model speaker from Marshall met those expectations. Pros: - Sound quality is excellent considering the small size. This speaker is about half the size of a typical brick, but it gets plenty loud and can fill a medium or large-sized room with ease. - I love the power indicator. Many speakers do not have a visual battery indicator, but I always like to know when I should plan to plug in. The battery life on this device was excellent. I was able to use it for nearly a full day and was still over half power. - The design of the brass control knob provides an easy way to increase/decrease volume or to skip tracks. - This speaker has a great look. You can place it anywhere and will not clash with other items. The leathery texture gives it a great nostalgic feel. Cons: - Unless you are in a brightly lit room, you may have trouble making out the buttons on the top of the speaker. I'm sure I'll memorize them over time, but the sleek black on black color scheme trades ease of use for the cool look factor. Overall, this speaker has a good price point, excellent build quality, and terrific sound. It's a great option if you looking for a small and very portable speaker.

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.

Marshall emberton III with true stereophonic a multi directional 360 sounds. this small bluetooth speaker with marshall iconic look. is a perfect speaker for small room, a perfect travel speaker to take anywhere with ya. DESIGN Marshall Emberton III is very similar to their previous product it stay with that ecosystem what Marshall design should look, amazing black leather like feel with a hand of brass on multi directional control knob and the Marshall letters at front. FEATURES at the top Marshall Emberton III offer bluetooth pairing, a power button, a battery indicator with multi directional knob for volume level and skip rewind direction to not forgot this speaker offer built in microphone. perfect for taking calls. tested this with my wife to see how good it can pick up my voice overall performance was good! Marshall Emberton III offers up to 32 hours of portable playtime, I didn’t manage to full drain but that’s more than enough for a whole day of play, but keep in mind that’s really based on your used experience. it’s stated for dust and waterproof up to 3 ft of water. APP once bluetooth is connected through your phone a notification will prompt for Marshall app for you to install this an optional thing to do so you’re not force to have it to enjoy this speaker. once the speaker added on the app you have the EQ settings and a battery preservation settings which I thought a great feature to have. by managing your battery the internal battery should last longer if you would use this very heavily. other than that EQ have 3 preset you can choose from, you have Marshall. Push and Voice. you do have the ability to control the current music that’s playing right from the Marshal app alone. EXPERIENCE one of the i’ve been using this in my wife office in the house and this speaker could easy fill the whole room with great sounding music. but i’ve also noticed that I mainly kept my volume at 80% while using this device. it’s pretty high just for me to feel very comfortable when I just want loud sounding music. battery dropped from 100-94% within 5 minutes with high volume so usage will definitely be varies on each user about battery life. another thing that disappointed me was the app. EQ was very limited to 3 preset. correct me if i’m wrong but I do not see an option to even adjust my own EQ I thought that’s just a standard things to have but you’re stuck using 3 preset. the push equalizer sounds flat that I do not recommend it, stay with regular Marshall setting, voice equalizer does have minor differences compared to stock EQ overall I still recommend the regular EQ. I still recommend Emberton III I think it’s a great sounding device. marshall need to improve the application specifically when it comes EQ. the spatial sounds this bluetooth speaker offer well I can’t really tell honestly of well it does. I only notice great spatial sounds either on headphones or a proper sounds system

Super satisfied with this item also with BEST BUY- that’s why is the BEST!!! You can search all my purchases you’ll see how much money I have spent with Best Buy. I have more pics. Than I sending to you guys.

Great product for price and sound is phenomenal best bang for buck, thanks best buy

This is a fantastic rich sounding speaker that outperforms its size. The sound clarity is awesome, and the sound effects is brilliant for its size. The speaker is well built, feels premium, and is water and dust resistant. The leather feel and the metal mesh and the round button on top and the Marshall logo on the front gives it a premium look and the build is of excellent quality. At about 6x3x3 inches and weighing just about a pound and a half this is easily portable. Little did I realize a speaker of this size can produce such a loud, clear and effective sound. Marshall’s sound quality is supreme. The Marshall app also offers customizing the sound – Signature Marshall / deep bass / voice mode. After playing around I felt the default signature Marshall sounds the best to my liking. The battery lasted about 30 hours on a single charge and takes about 2 hours to charge it back full. An in-app feature prevents battery to charge beyond 95% to preserve the overall battery longevity. This feature can be switched off in the app. There is a led lit power indicator (pic attached) that’s so handy and looks beautiful. The circle button supports play/pause/next/previous/volume up and down. There is a power off and a Bluetooth button. It has Bluetooth version 5.3 and LE ready. This supports multi-point and I can pause and play from 2 devices at the same time. (Of course, the first device needs to be paused). This also has a good quality mic, and I can take a call with it. Call quality is good. Pressing the center button answers the call (press again to hangup). Really helpful when in a pool or shower. This is hands down, the best Bluetooth speaker I have used. It ticks all boxes – premium sound quality, lightweight, compact, stylish-retro look, multipoint connectivity, mic for calls. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend this to anyone ! It is not an overstatement when I say that it has re-kindled my love for music. I am looking for a 6th star to rate this one.

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 Il totally exceeded expectations. The sound is rich, clear and surprisingly powerful for such a compact size, with vocals and instruments all very distinct and balanced. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting a whole day of listening without needing a recharge, and the quick charge feature is very convenient for last-minute use. The IP67 dustproof and waterproof rating also makes it perfect for using in the bathroom, kitchen or outdoors without worrying about water splashes or rain. The classic Marshall design looks premium and stylish, and the build quality feels solid and durable in the hand. Bluetooth connection is stable, pairing is fast, and the multi-direction control knob makes volume and track control very intuitive. Overall, this is a portable speaker that combines great sound, long battery and cool design - definitely a five-star product and highly recommended

Fantastic speaker. Won't be be disappointed with it

The Marshall Emberton III is a portable little speaker with amazing sound. First, I was surprised at how small it was, it's really cute, with a retro look to it and big sound! My kid thought it was really cool looking. The packaging is very nice, well protected with a nice little booklet giving you all the details - especially important was the button configuration numbered drawing, giving you all you need. I turned it on, saw it immediately on my iPhone, paired it with no issues, and it prompted me to download the Marshall app. I used it to listen to a radio app and my iTunes library - the sound is amazing, super clear! The bass is there, the treble, it's great. Set up on this was so incredibly easy. The buttons work, pause, skip, volume, all there in the middle depending on the direction that you push. I'm happy with this cute little retro style speaker, and I see myself using it quite a bit. So far, battery life has been great, the app tells you the battery level, plus there's a nice red light on the top to alert you to the battery level as well. If you're looking for a compact portable speaker with great sound and a cool styling this Marshall speaker is it!

Bluetooth speakers have been around long enough for most of us to own a few around the house or when traveling. We have several upstairs, downstairs, garage, and the backyard. There's been many I will use when we go on trips. Depending on where we go, I'll mostly bring our Sonos Move or our Sonos Roam. The Move packs a big punch and sounds great, but it is cumbersome unless we store it in the car. The Roam, on the other hand, lacks in the sound department but is very easy to throw in a bag for nearby picnics or adventure hikes. I've been wanting something that meets both my expectations. I've found it with the Emberton III! This is my first Marshall product, but judging by my satisfaction, it will not be my last. Marshall has several Bluetooth speakers, but this version is small enough to throw in a bag and sounds fantastic. Separation is there, the soundstage is wider than you'd think, and the bass is natural yet clear. Everything sounds so good. It's not going to meet the sound of a larger speaker meant for home use, but in regards to a "travel speaker," this is an incredible device. The Emberton II was a hit when it was released, and I understand why. There were a few adjustments made with this gen, but the look of these keeps the classic amp look Marshall is known for. Everything from the buttons, battery indicator, and speaker grill to the Marshall app screams quality. The app isn't super detailed, but it looks great, is snappy, and easy to navigate. When pairing the Emberton III with my Pixel 9 Pro XL, it connected immediately for one of the smoothest pairings I've experienced with anything non-Pixel. Battery life seems outstanding as well. Since the initial charge, I've used it four to five times for around 4-5 hours, and according to the app, it's at 84% battery. That's awesome! You won't need to charge this much. Another great thing is when you turn it on, it automatically connects to your phone. There's no need to go through steps connecting it every time. For $170, it's appropriately priced - as that is the standard for this type of speaker. This one sounds much better than many other speakers in this price range. The Sonos Roam is listed at $169, and the Emberton III is night and day better in the sound department to my ears. It's not near Sonos' Move, but that's to be expected due to its $449 price tag! It sits somewhere between The Roam and The Move but is as portable as The Roam is. I'd say the value is there at this price!

I’m a big fan of my music – I’ve got multiple record players and multiple Bluetooth speakers of various sizes for various places in my home. I wouldn’t call myself an audiophile, but I hate muddled mixes. When Marshall came out with their Emberton III Portable Bluetooth Speaker I was thrilled to have an opportunity to play some tunes through it! To begin with, I own one other Marshall speaker – the far larger, definitely not portable Stanmore III – and it’s got a beloved space in my home. The Emberton III fits right in. It’s that same stylized Marshall amp look – a look which I adore - with a sound that is seriously impressive for its size. The speaker itself is about the size of a small brick, roughly 6x3x3. It’s got a depth that feels bigger than many other svelte oblong shaped Bluetooth speakers I’ve seen. It’s not small, but it’s not large either. If you’re travelling with it, I’d say it’s JUST big enough that you couldn’t throw it into a full luggage without care and thought. However, it’s not big enough you would be opposed to bringing it with you. That said, despite a recessed area for you to add your own strap to, the size and weight of over a pound doesn’t really make this a speaker you would say, bring on a hike or carry on your person walking all day long – but that’s just me. With an IP67 water resistance rating, you should be fine wherever you take it though. According to the specs, that means you can submerge it in 3 feet of water for a period of up to 30 minutes. I don’t plan on testing that out, but that’s more than enough for me to be unconcerned placing it at the far end of my shower and adjusting the volume or skipping a song with wet hands. As mentioned, the speaker itself has the classic Marshall Amp look. A tightly woven metal grid across the front and the back, wrapped around by a faux leatherette material that feels nice to the touch. The top of the speaker is where most things live. There are two buttons the left, one for power and one for Bluetooth pairing. In the center is the multi-function joystick. Push up and down for volume control, left and right for back and next, and press down for pausing. I wasn’t sure about this design feature at first, but it quickly became intuitive enough that I never thought twice about it. To the right of that is a serious of 10 LEDs showing the remaining battery. On the right side of the unit is the USB-C input. In regard to battery, it boasts an impressive 32+ hour play time. Then, they say it takes just 2 hours for a complete full charge. I honestly haven’t tested the limits of either, but I can tell you I’ve used it on and off for quite some time and I have yet to charge it at all! Of course, all of this is nothing without actual audio quality and I can say that this thing delivers! Marshall touts the “True Stereophonic multi-directional sound.” From my understanding, it’s through the 2” 10W full range drivers with passive radiators that you are able to receive a stereo sound that makes the whole listening stage sound wider with clearer vocals and deeper bass. I can say that after a comparison to several portable Bluetooth speakers I had lying around from over the years, this sound was absolutely superb on everything genre I threw at it from two-tone ska to singer songwriters, jazz, rap, and metal. Everything sounded bright and clear, with vocals and instruments all sounding like they've got a specific place. I did say that the sound radiates from the front, but also the back - pushing the speaker up against the wall didn't make it sound as clear as having it a few inches away. This design is supposed to be center-stage. If I was to make any complaint is that it’s too loud! I’ve yet to really test the limits of how loud this can go because it’s simply so loud I have no desire to damage my ears. If anything, I found that vocals on some songs were little drowned out at very low volumes. Yes, this is a completely atypical problem to complain about. That’s just my two cents, but it’s very low on a list of problems for a device that practically has none. It's not required, but encouraged for you to download the Marshall app on your phone. This connects to your speaker and allows you to run firmware updates on it. It also allows you to adjust an equalizer, although you only have the option of the “Marshall Signature Sound,” the default listening mode, Push for boosted treble and bass, and Voice, a mode ideal for audiobooks or podcasts. I do wish there was a manual equalizer option, which seems easy to integrate, but the default Signature Sound has been more than satisfactory for all my purposes. Remember, this is still a portable speaker – not bookshelf speaker in a permanent home setup. The app also allows several options for preserving the battery life, which I found to be a thoughtful addition. You can limit charging to 95% capacity to help extend battery life, adjust charging speeds based on temperature of the battery, and limit charging speeds also in an effort to extend battery life. I don’t really encounter too many situations where I’d need a fast charge or all full 32 hours of battery life, so I decided to turn on all the options. I have no major complaints with the Marshall Emberton III. It’s exactly what I want of a small size portable speaker: battery life, water resistance, and quality audio. This does all of those things without fail. Now, I will say that the value for the price point is going to be a very subjective one. Does this sound better than a speaker I paid $100 less for? Undoubtedly YES. Is that sound quality worth that much of a premium fee for? Again, that’s a bit subjective. Personally, it’s pushing it for me, but now that I have it, I’d be very hard pressed to ever go back to a lesser quality sounding speaker. If you’re after incredible sound for a small package you will 100% love this speaker like I do.

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.

Best portable speaker I’ve owned. The build quality is ridiculously good, the Bluetooth connection is rock great, and it looks super sleek. It’s loud enough for a backyard hangout but small enough to toss in a backpack. 30 hours of playtime is no joke! Literally lost the speaker for a year and when I found it, it still had 85% of its battery. If you want a speaker that looks as good as it sounds, just get it.

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.
