Title: Amazing sound in a small body
Review:Bought the Marshall Emberton II as a portable Bluetooth speaker and it 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

Great product with usage caveats
A few months ago I had an epiphany. When I was a kid my father loved to have the best in sound equipment in the house, and I would play with graphic equalizers and lay in the floor looking for the best position between the giant speakers to experiment how to better enjoy the music.Today, I hear music in monophonic audio in an old JBL Charge 3 speaker (don’t tell my dad, he would be ashame of me).So I started to get better equipment. Now, I live in a small apartment with thin walls in a 3rd floor, so, big amplifiers and so are out of the question, but at least I could get better bluetooth speakers, so I tried the Marshall Emberton II.To say that I impressed with the sound would be an understatement. With out-of-the-box settings, the sound is more than detailed. 80s and 90s music sound outstanding although, Peter Cetera’s Glory of Love and Toto’s Africa vocals sound as I never heard them before, they are sharp and strong, sometimes detracting just a little from the overall sound (keywords here, really, just a little).This brings me to my first recommendation: do not mess with your applications equalizers if you don’t know what you are doing. This speakers were clearly designed to use the manufacturer equalizer settings (more on this later). I have youtube music and amazon prime music (yeah, I know, no spotify), and my sound with the latter was to heavy on bass, to the point of drowning the music and feeling almost distorting. Tron: Legacy’s soundtrack sounded specially dreadful, as Daftpunk uses heavy bass in their electronic music for that specific music. I then set the equalization in Amazon Prime Music to flat. It was a different performance altogether. I could ever hear some slight effects they used, that I had not noticed before.Now, one down for the application. Bluetooth pairing used Google Fast Pair, which was seamless and impressive (it shows appears to be a custom Marshall little window, so, it looks cool), but the application takes forever to actually “discover” the device, even when it is already paired.When it finally discover it (which was not too long, but took a couple of turning on and off the speaker), the application notified me of a firmware upgrade, which I proceeded to install. The installation failed miserably, so, I temporarily stopped that effort, which I retook successfully a day later. The update was surprisingly big in size, taking around 5 minutes to download, and the application simply marked the update successful while the speaker was still rebooting, which took a few seconds more than what I feel comfortable with, but it went through, and after that, the application again took surprisingly long to detect the speaker.To end that topic, the equalization settings are definitely underwhelming, with only three modes: Marshall, Voice and Push, of which I have only tried Marshall as everybody else says that Voice is just for podcast and such and Push increases bass at the expense of all the other sound bands quality.Lesson learned: unless too picky, when using this speaker, leave your apps equalizers on flat, their profile is that good.Now, to the hardware itself, people will notice this little wonder. Using the nostalgia factor with the Marshall amplifier design was a touch of genius, and the brass button on top is the cherry on top. Some reviews complain about a single button approach to multifunction (power, volume, forward-back, bluetooth pairing has another almost invisible button, which fits because you are not changing your pairing frequently). If we can handle touch control on over-head and in-ear speakers, this button is a piece of cake.My only complain in this department is that, at least for me, an old guy, the signs indicating the functions around the button, being carved in the black speaker, which has texture, are for all intent and purposes invisible, but once you get accustomed, an use the logo as a positional reference that’s not a problem anymore.And finally, the little caveat. Single speaker, stereo sound. Let that sink in.Done? Ok, they achieve this trick by separating the sound left and right with drivers back and front respectively (or was it the other way around? well, you get my point). Stereo suffers a little (not too much) because both sources are incredibly close, but it brings this caveat. This speaker should not be set as others, against walls, like in shelf, and so, because you end up drowning one side.The best position for this speaker is in the center of the audio stage, and if you want to appreciate the sound, you should point one side (not the front or back) to you. that way both sources are equally distanced from you so you get a better balance.If you are ok with the caveats this product is worth the price, I definitely recommend it.

Powerful Sound in a Compact Size, Perfect for Office and Gatherings
I use it to play music in my office and during family gatherings. The sound quality is excellent for its size, with impressively strong volume output. The bass is clear and well defined, without overshadowing the mids and highs. The battery lasts a long time, easily powering through an entire afternoon at a good volume level. The materials exceed expectations, with a solid build and a texture that provides a secure grip. Overall, it performs perfectly.

Amazing, but has limitations
If you can get it for like $80, it’s a deal. Over $100 isn’t worth it unless you’re an audiophile and an active listener. This speaker does seem like it’s in stereo and has cool spatial separation if you’re actively listening and prefer a more studio quality sound. Amazing bass, mids, and treble up to around 70% volume. Beyond that the bass is held back and the volume only is increased on the mids and treble. So, in reality the volume at 70% is the max volume of this speaker. For indoor use, that 70% max is plenty. It fills my 12×12 room very well, and gives an excellent active listening experience that fills the room and has great separation as if it’s stereo. The downsides. The volume isn’t a smooth transition between levels. You can often find the speaker to be either too loud or too quiet between one click up or down. Outdoors is not this speaker’s place unless you’re sitting right next to it.

Solid Sound, Classic Look
The Marshall Emberton II is pretty much exactly what you’d expect from the brand—great sound in a cool, vintage-inspired package. The 360° sound fills a small room nicely, and for the size, the audio is crisp with decent bass (not earth-shaking, but satisfying).Battery life is a standout. I’ve easily gotten over 25 hours on moderate volume, so it’s perfect for weekends away without worrying about charging. Plus, it’s waterproof, which makes it a nice grab-and-go option for the beach or hiking.The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the app experience. The EQ options are super basic, and the app can be slow to connect sometimes. Also, no AUX input, which would’ve been a nice extra.Overall, though, this is a stylish and tough little speaker with quality sound—definitely worth picking up if you want something portable but premium.

Great value and quality
Amazing speaker and sound quality! I overall love the Marshall Brand as they focus on sounds and achieve it. This small portable and easy to move around speaker is great for travel! With the water resistant protection, you can feel at ease. Fits in a small bag to move around and light weight. Quick set up and easy to navigate! Love it, great investment!

Nice, balanced sound – love this speaker: The sound is great, not boosted and stays well balanced even at higher volumes. I can’t hear any distortion but also, I’m not an audiophile. I just love music gadgets so have or have tried different speakers and earphones through the years. This is definitely going to be one of my fave, plus, it looks f good, especially in this colour! Very happy with purchase at this price! I’ll keep it and enjoy it for many years hopefully

Ho acquistato sia le cuffie Major IV che lo speaker Emberton II come regalo per il 18° compleanno di un ragazzo appassionato di musica.Non le uso personalmente, ma scrivo questa recensione basandomi su quanto mi ha raccontato lui dopo settimane di utilizzo:Le cuffie le usa praticamente ogni giorno, anche per ore, e dice che sono comodissime, leggere, e che l’autonomia è impressionante (veramente oltre 80 ore). Il suono è pulito, con bassi profondi ma non esagerati.Lo speaker Emberton II lo porta ovunque, anche fuori casa, grazie alla compattezza e alla durata della batteria. Dice che il suono è davvero forte per le dimensioni, e che l’effetto a 360° si sente bene anche all’aperto.Entrambi i prodotti hanno uno stile vintage fantastico, qualità costruttiva top e prestazioni che hanno superato le sue aspettative.Regalo azzeccatissimo per chi ama ascoltare musica con qualità vera, sia in cuffia che in libertà.

Probably one of the best value for money BT speakers out there! Sound reproduction is typical of Marshall – like their amps! Beaudy!
