Marshall Emberton
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to love marshall brand but this time after 30 minutes of listening to music via bluetooth the speaker turns off suddenly
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Customer Service
Posted .Hello, thanks for your review. Our apologies for the inconvenience of this. When the speaker turns off suddenly, does this occur when music is playing? If you perform a factory reset on the speaker, does the issue continue?

Posted .Hi Carlos, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are having problems with the Emberton. Are you using the original USB-C charging cable that was included in the original packaging? Can you try to remove the silicone cover and check that it is fully inserted when you try to charge it?

Just ok
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its not as good as their bigger speakers that actually plug into an outlet. The battery life has only been 6 hours for me at most on a full chatge. Have no idea how ppl are getting 20 hours from it
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Customer Service
Posted .The 20 hour battery life will be at medium volume, it will be less playing at full volume.

Mediocre
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first Marshall speaker and this is not what I really expect. On this pricepoint, I think JBL and Bose sounded better.

Bass is muffled
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ended up returning this because the sound of the bass wasn’t great. It also picked up a lot of dust because of the material used.

Sound muffled
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound muffled does not have quality sound. Mid range tones sound as if they are in a can.

Posted .Hello, thanks for your review and comment. Can you return the speaker to Best Buy to swap it out for a new one? This doesn't sound right.

Wasn’t loud enough
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn’t like it I returned it it wasn’t loud enough
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Customer Service
Posted .Thank you for your review. The Emberton does have quite a high SPL for it's size, but it is still quite a small but mighty speaker for it's size. For your purposes I would recommend either the Kilburn II or Tufton speaker, to get the loud experience with a portable speaker. We appreciate your thoughts on the speaker, and we wish you a great day.

Emberton 1 not 2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Same price as the newer update’s model Emberton 2. This one does not connect to the Emberton app. Design and Best Buy marketing is the same so be careful when purchasing to ensure you are selecting the correct model
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Customer Service
Posted .This is a great point, be sure to check if the packaging states Emberton or Emberton II.

After 2 weeks of use

The Emberton is the smallest of the Portable models, try the biggest one - the Tufton.

Used sold as new
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was sold to me as a NEW ITEM and it was definitely used usb cord missing and where you plug into charge looks like someone forced the wrong type into it!!! Very disappointed in BEST BUY!!!!

Posted .That is disappointing indeed, we hope you were able to exchange this one and enjoy a new Emberton speaker.

Died in less than three months
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason this speaker is getting one star is because it has some serious style - otherwise it wouldn't be getting any. I bought this as a gift and was mortified when I was told by the recipient that just over two months after he received it, it completely died. Because I relied on the manufacture's warranty and passed on the Geek Squad warranty, it was actually cheaper for me to buy a new speaker (and better one) for cheaper than it would have been for me to pay to send the dead speaker to Marshall.

It's okay
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good clear speaker, gets loud for a small thing but distorts alot at higher volume. Doesn't feel like it has bass. Could be better. Perfect if you set it next to you like a desk
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Customer Service
Posted .Thanks for your review. If you are looking for a bigger portable speaker capable of high volumes, check out the Tufton. The Emberton is the smallest in our lineup and will be best used in small spaces.

Trash reception and quietest speaker ive owned
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want to only have 6 feet of range with bluetooth then by all means. It’s probably fine that your phone cuts our any farther than 6 because you wouldnt be able to hear it anyways. I think my JBL flip 1 was a better purchase and it was $100 in 2012. Marshall should be embarrassed to have their name on this profuct. The sound quality is also subpar and distorts at 1/2 volume on music that are heavy in guitar and drums

Waste of Money
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't even had this speaker for a full year and I'm constantly hearing static noise coming from this speaker! Bought it in July 2021 and now in May 2022 every sound I play from it comes with static. Never dropped it and has no water damage.
