Amazing sounds for a small Bluetooth speaker! I will definitely buy more Marshall speakers.

I used to think bigger speakers were always better sounding, but this small, waterproof, and dust-resistant speaker has pushed that though right out of my mind! The Marshall Emberton III is a beauty, looking like a miniature version of my guitar amp and sounds nothing short of amazing. A clear balanced sound could be heard no matter what setting I had it in—tailgating, office, camping, a friend’s place—with no distortion. The battery lasts up to 32 hours, and the LED indicator shows how much charge is left. For perspective, I used it 3-4 hours a day for 7 days straight without charging and it had just under 50 percent battery life left. Usage included different genres of music, videos, movies, podcasts, and audiobooks, all at different, but usually, loudest volume. It comes with a USB-C to USB-C charging cord but no charger. It’s easy to grip and stays put thanks to its rubberized texture, and there’s a spot for a carrying strap, though it’s not included. Setup is simple, and the sound quality is superb, with music radiating from both sides. The Marshall companion app could be a little more robust but does offer extra features like three EQ presets and firmware updates. The one design flaw is that the black operating buttons and text are hard to see in low light. It would have been ideal if they were reflective gold like the Control button. Pros: • Cool Design: Classic Marshall amp look with a rock-n-roll vibe. • Solid Build: Feels sturdy and has a bit of weight without being too heavy. • Portable: Convenient size for easy storage and transport. • Durable Exterior: Textured, dust, and waterproof (though I’d avoid heavy rain or submersion). • Easy Setup: Comes in pairing mode right out of the box and connected to device in seconds. • Phenomenal Sound Quality: Speakers on both sides create an outstanding immersive audio experience. • Built-in Microphone: Handy for taking calls from connected devices. (Call quality with iPhone was good) • Impressive Battery Life: Up to 32 hours of playtime with a detailed 10-bar power indicator. • Companion App: Manage firmware, set battery preservation, and choose from three EQ presets. Provides links to guides and manuals for other Marshall products. Cons: • Cable Configuration: Included cable is USB-C to USB-C with no charger, so you’ll need your own. • Companion App: Limited features for the Emberton III – only three EQ presets and battery settings – so app is not really necessary because anything else mostly pushes you to Marshall’s website • App Naming: The companion app is weirdly named “Bluetooth” instead of Marshall on iOS • Button Visibility: Black operating buttons are hard to read without adequate lighting Overall, you can’t go wrong with this speaker!

For such a small speaker it has great sound. It was an awesome Christmas gift.

Awesome little speaker! Liked it so much I bought a second one to pair together

This color of speaker is so adorable and the music came out very nicely and clearly. I luv it!!! Would recommend this to everyone.

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.

Top notch sound quality! Not too loud or not too low just simply brilliant engeneering!

These Bluetooth speakers are Dope! I bought 2, one is @ the office and one @ home! They are stackable and seamless to use, with the Marshall build quality it shines!

I enjoy this little speaker so much. It amazes me that anythimg this small can sound so good.

I like it. I got it as a gift. It sounds great. Now i can play music anytime with my speakers on

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.
