Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Emberton III is a portable speaker that is the shape of a brick and almost feels like one with it’s solid built quality. The Emberton can easily fill a small room with sound without it sounding tinny or distorted even at its highest volume. The Stereophonic sound from the Emberton III gives you a 360 sound so your listening experience is the same no matter where you are standing (in front, behind or to the side of the speaker). Stereophonic sound is perfect as portable speakers are always being used in different locations. The Marshall app allows you to adjust the equalizer to 3 different sounds (Marshall, Push and Voice) but you can’t tweak the EQ individually. The Marshall sound setting is perfect for my listening experience as it has great low end bass with perfect mids and highs, I did notice that for older music the voice setting works best. The Emberton III has some of best sound of any portable speaker along with a clean look that includes two buttons for power and Bluetooth and a rotary knob which works as a multifunction button to skip songs and higher/lower music. The addition of the Bluetooth button is perfect as most power/Bluetooth combo buttons are horrible to use and never work correctly. The Emberton is also dust/waterproof which makes it excellent to take anywhere with you. One of best features of the Emberton is that is has 32 hours of battery which is amazing, I used the speaker for 3 days 7 hours each day and there was still 30 percent battery remaining. Marshall has also included battery protection in the app by limiting the battery charge and slowing down the charging speed if it senses the batteries are getting hot. I only have 2 small issues with the Emberton III one is that the mic for phone calls is not the best but that is not really a big negative as I don’t see why anyone would be using this to make/receive phone calls. Secondly the app take about 15 seconds to start, none of these are deal breakers though. The Emberton III is a great portable speaker with the classic punchy sound that Marshall has been known for over a decade. The build quality is excellent and the Stereophonic sound makes this speaker stand out from other portable speakers. The Emberton III is future proofed with Bluetooth LE audio so you can add other speakers and play the same music at the same time. I currently don’t have any speakers to attach with the Emberton III but that will be changing shortly.

I find with bluetooth speakers generally that it comes down to a compromise - sometimes they are small and portable but done really hit the mark when it comes to audio, or they sound great but are pushing the limits of 'portability', This is also probably why if you own multiple bluetooth speakers that you are still looking for that perfect balance - or like me don't one any because you're picky about audio quality and don't want to compromise. The Marshall Emberton III is one of those rare products that won me over in the first couple of minutes without any bells and whistles or clever features - simply that it just sounds awesome without really doing anything. Out of the box, you hold the bluetooth button on the top to enter pairing mode - select it on your source device, and well - that's it. Straight away the audio sound is well balanced, but still has that signature Marshall 'oomphff' to it - no need to change anything. I'll be honest it was probably 30 mins before I even realized that there is an app for managing the speaker which enables you to modify some advanced features (firmware updates, 3 different styles of EQ , and optimizing the battery life - apparently to get 32+hours or playtime but I haven't had time to push that limit yet). The speaker also has a built in microphone so you can use it for conference calls but I can only see that getting limited use unless you reguarly manage group calls. Physically the speaker has that classic Marshall styling , but is robust and solid to the touch. There is simple navigation on the top for fwd/back/volume etc and the standard bluetooth and power buttons. My only minor comment would be that I would like a line-in option on these smaller speakers, but in this case I know there is a larger Marshall speaker in this range that provides it (and now I think about it all of my mobile devices need a dongle to do 3.5mm outputs anyway) In summary, if you are looking for a single go-to bluetooth speaker, the Marshall Emberton III is the probably the best you're going to find. Amazing sound out of the box, extended battery life and good balance of sound quality and portability.

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!

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 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

I was skeptical that such a small speaker could deliver a real Marshall sound, but it truly punches above its weight. The bass is really satisfying—it's not earth-shattering, but it's incredibly tight and clean, perfect for rock and pop music. I usually keep it on the "Marshall" EQ setting, which gives a nice, balanced sound. I was blown away by how loud it can get without sounding distorted. The 360° sound means I can place it anywhere in the room and the music still sounds great.

I recently purchased a Marshall speaker, and I have to say the sound quality truly lives up to its iconic reputation. The audio is rich, clear, and powerful, with deep bass and crisp highs that make any genre sound amazing. The classic vintage design also adds a stylish touch to any room—it’s both functional and a statement piece. I also like how easy it is to connect via Bluetooth, and the range is surprisingly wide without losing sound quality.

First things First. I own 2 Marshall products already. This makes number three. My other two are the larger and medium versions of this smaller one which will become my Travel source for music. The sound, size and battery makes this ideal for me to relax to my music.

Amazing sound and battery life light weight and portable was great to have at the beach

I'm not going to lie, I thought the reviews I read were possibly exaggerating. They're not. This thing packs Bose level sound quality in a more affordable price. The size is perfect as I can travel with it. I love the build quality, the sound quality, the ease of use. It's just perfect.

long battery life, robust build, useful feature additions (mic, fast charging, LE Audio readiness), and sound that punches above its weight especially at moderate volumes. It gives you a lot of what many people want in a portable speaker.

This Marshall Emberton III portable speaker is beyond awesome! Fabulous sound ~ iconic looks ~ and so very well built. Connects flawlessly to whatever I need it to and I carry it around the house due to its smaller size. The battery life is exceptional and it's well worth the purchase. I cannot imagine my life without this in it now. An outstanding Marshall product!!

Love my new Marshall Emberton III Bluetooth speaker. This little speaker is a monster the volume and quality is superb!

Love the sound and battery life of this speaker! It’s durability is also phenomenal

Sounds great, battery lasts forever and it looks awesome.

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

Amazing speaker!! And even better battery . Took it for a vacation of 10 days. Used it at the beach for 3 days at 4 hr sessions and still hadent charged it.

This is my first Marshall speaker I’ve ever purchased and it’s incredible! I had experience with the Marshall Action III speaker cause I stayed at The Lafayette in San Diego and each room there has their own Marshall speaker. I was just blown away by the performance of the Action III and it had me go down a rabbit hole of which Marshall speakers to purchase for my lifestyle and I found that the Emberton III was a good starting choice. Everything sounds so smooth and at full volume it really does pack a punch! However though the one little issue I find with the speaker is that it runs out of battery kind of quickly IF you do have it at full volume the whole time. The battery lasts me a good 6 and half to 7 and half hours if blasting at full volume from fully charged to 0%. Nonetheless this speaker is truly a steal if you get it on sale prices, I’d recommend it to a friend forsure!

We are very pleased with the Marshall - Emberton III Speaker. We wanted something small and portable we can take outside and get a good sound at low or high volumes. The best part is how long the battery life is in comparison to other speakers.
