If you’ve ever been to an arena rock concert (1960s - 2019 art form), then you’ve likely experienced the Marshall brand and amplification on stage — possibly even an entire wall of Marshall Amps capable of leaving your ears ringing for days. My history with Jim Marshall’s legendary British amplifier company dates back to the 1990’s when I purchased my first Marshall guitar amplifier. You can imagine my enthusiasm when given the opportunity to evaluate this Emberton miniature bluetooth speaker. Marshall Amplifiers and Gibson’s Les Paul electric guitars are iconic staples, synonymous with Rock ’n’ Roll. Visualize The Who, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses Slash, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Muse, Randy Rhoads, Ozzy Osbourne, Nirvana, Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, ZZ Top, and many more. Even Nigel Tufnel’s Marshall Amp on cult-classic Mockumentary “Spinal Tap” famously “goes to 11”. Just as Marshall had various vintage amplifier models spanning decades, including : - JTM 45 - ’62 Bluesbreaker - ’59 Plexi - ‘70s JMP 2203 - 80s JCM 800 - 90s JCM 900 - JCM 2000 - JCM, JVM, DSL and more This is far from their first bluetooth portable speaker, but it is the NEWEST and MOST AFFORDABLE - $149 Emberton < * this product here * > - $160 Stockwell II - $199 UXBridge - $249 Action II - $249 Killburn II - $299 Action II (voice) - $349 Stanmore II - $399 Stanmore II (voice) - $399 Tufton - $499 Woburn II While the classic Marshall sound is predominately a high-gain “crunch” sound, this little guy delivers Distortion-free music, even at max volume. This speaker really shines with a rich and smooth mid-range. Bass is adequately meaty (how much air can small drivers really move), and highs are clean and clear without tinny sounding harshness all too many portable speakers these days. “True Stereophonic” multi-directional technology is no gimmick. The sound field is super wide, open and airy. It never seems to strain regardless of what I pushed it wish. I was pretty blown away that it sounds as clear faced rearward, or even face down on the grille. It was convincing enough that my wife failed to identify which direction it was facing, front, back, side, upright, all sounded equally good. PROS ——— +“True Stereophonic” multi-directional 360 sound + H U G E sound from dense footprint + quick charge 20 minutes = 5 hours + full charge is 20 hours battery life + easy to see battery indicator on top + thumb joystick for volume + / - and track > / < + IPX7 waterproof certification (3 feet for 30 seconds) + rugged design, solidly built, quality craftsmanship + decent heft, rounded corners, silicone exterior + capable of filling a room with decdnt sound + USB-C (not mini- or micro-USB) + finally a lengthy charging cable + bluetooth 5.0 up to 33 feet CONS ——— -on-board EQ would be nice, but iPhone tools do the job -no ability to link to another unit for double speaker stereo -no support for aptX codec CONCLUSION ———————- There seems to be no shortage of cheaply made, low-FI bluetooth speakers to pick from these days. We’ve tried many of them to utter disappointment. This Marshall Emberton most definitely punches above it’s weight class. It’s rugged exterior, waterproof for 30 seconds @3-ft, and very decent sound quality make this a contender for an affordable portable speaker that maintains quality. Recommend

It’s a compact speaker , really good to be small. This one has a power saver if you don’t use it in a few minutes, it shut off itself .. good for I need.

It's tiny, holds a 20 hour charge and has full rich sound. If using a phone or tablet as your Bluetooth source I would recommend downloading a eq booster app onto your device because you will notice the quality difference using this speaker.

The best portable speaker I purchased in a long time. The clarity, the bass, and loudness inside this small unit is so surprisingly awesome. And if you’re a Marshall fanatic like I am, it’s a must and a plus!

Great design and color. Waterproof. I take it with me in the shower. The sound is OK. May not the best but much better than any other at same size and price. Cream color match my furniture and hard to find. Been waiting for this color for a while. Worth the money. Small but powerful. I expected more emphasis on Bass sound.

Great speaker, it really sounds great, it's not the easiest to turn off but worth the money in my opinion. Plus it looks like a little marshall amp.

Little but mighty! The sound quality from this Marshall speaker is phenomenal. The charging time last forever as well. I am in love with Marshall speakers!
It's hard to hear low frequencies with this speaker. If you are into hip hop music and you love that 808 sound, this will not satisfy you.

I bought this to replace my old jbl speaker and it’s doing the job quite well, plus it looks cool with the gold letters

I love it. Sounds great for no mixing knobs for snobs. Nice balance. Great for in the kitchen or bed side. We played through Marshall amps as kids in the 70's so I'm telling you it's nice. The Black and Brass looks more rich than the Classic White logo.

Mid blowing speaker. Considering the price and obviously the brand The Marshalls this is beyond my expectations. A definite buy for your room or trips that you can it to. Thumbs Up !!
One of the best decisions I ever made, quality of sound is pretty impressive, perfect size and a lot of quality details in the final products.
