Marshall Emberton Portable Speaker - Black/Gold

The attractive Marshall Emberton speaker is on the small side for the price, but it delivers a bigger sound than its dimensions suggest.

• +

  Powerful audio performance for the size, Cool, compact design, Waterproof

• -

  No speakerphone functionality, No aux input

The Marshall Speaker really has nothing wrong with it but it also isn't going to blow you away in any one category. There are plenty of other great Bluetooth speakers that will save you some cash, but if we're being honest only the Marshall Emberton looks like an amp.

• +

  Good size, Sounds good, IPX7 build, The golden knob for playback works perfectly, Bluetooth 5 and connection strength is solid, USB-C input for charging

• -

  No microphone, Battery life is just fine, Only compatible with SBC, not other Bluetooth codecs here, Price makes it harder to choose this over the competition

Marshall’s new $149 Emberton Bluetooth speaker gives the beloved Logitech Ultimate Ears Boom a run for its money. For starters, it charges over USB-C for quick, no-fuss charging, and it borrows the excellent joystick-like controls from Marshall’s recent lineup of headphones.

• +

  Elegant, nearly foolproof controls, USB-C charging, IPX7 waterproof

• -

  No microphone, Cringe-inducting startup sound

The unmistakable Marshall design will appeal to many rock lovers. But the sound of Emberton is rather tame.

• +

  Rough and tough sound, robustly built, a look that appeals to rock lovers.

• -

  Thin midrange.

This small but powerful Bluetooth speaker sounds great.

• +

  Powerful, rich sound, Goes loud, Excellent battery life, IPX7 water resistance, Small

• -

  Pricey, Control knob takes practice

• +

  It packs a lot of sound for such a tiny unit, can stand up to wear and tear, but looks great on a shelf.

• -

  Its power-on sound is god-awful, and it lacks speakerphone support.

The Marshall Emberton is a very good, waterproof, portable, battery-powered speaker with Marshall’s usual pleasing sound and rock’n’roll design flourishes.

• +

  Powerful sound from a small speaker, Rugged and waterproof, Long lasting battery

• -

  No mic, No EQ control

The Marshall Emberton is a stylish looking speaker, looking like a mini guitar amp. It lacks some power in its audio performance, but a strong battery life and waterproofing makes it an appealing portable speaker.

The target market for a speaker like this want a combination of portability, acoustic power and long battery life. The Emberton ticks those boxes with confidence.

• +

  Stylish & portable, Great sound, Durable, Long battery life

• -

  No aux input, Can't stereo pair two speakers

As a Bluetooth speaker this little banger delivers sound well beyond its small frame. But the real appeal is the classic Marshall styling - not only does it sound good, it's got distinction to stand out among the crowd of boring suit-n-ties speakers.

• +

  Classic design in a small package, Great audio quality - bolder than size would suggest, Easy-to-use controls and indicators, 20-hour battery life, Water-resistant too

• -

  Some random disconnects, No 3.5mm input, No mic for smart assistants

Great bass. Not boomy or “powerful” but definitely present. Very musical balance of frequencies. Slightly boxy sound at first but I quickly get used to it. Great for podcasts. Battery life was excellent. At low to mid volumes I used it on a road-trip for 3 hours and it was still at 80%.

You should buy this. The sound quality is amazing, as you'd expect from any Marshall product. If that isn't enough, it has 20 hours of battery life, pairs with multiple devices easily, plays sound out of both sides of the speaker, and if you want to use tactile controls the toggle at the top is easy...

A great long lasting big sound portable speaker that also looks awesome!

A great long lasting big sound portable speaker that also looks awesome!

I love this thing! Has a warm, clear sound that can get plenty loud. Just enough bass for listening to rock / alternative music. Tried several speakers of a similar price range and this one was just what I was looking for. Highly recommend!!

I am not an audiophile but this is the best sounding speaker i own. It has a speaker in front and back and my husband says it has tweeters, not sure what that is. I have never had a speaker that i could hear every instrument on like the bass, drums, ext Other than my old sony speaker system from...

i have one of the Emberton's big brothers (Action) which i love so had to try this in the shop. Bought it there and then, only went in for a camera bag. Very impressive for its size, easily fits in travel luggage, laptop bags etc and delivers great sound with superb music coverage range.

Purchased for my husband as he had previously reviewed this speaker online. Compared to Bose, I knew he wanted it after doing his research. He was not disappointed. He’s extremely happy with this speaker. Last a very long time. Sound is amazing! Would definitely recommend.

First of all, this is a small but powerful column. I use it in the bathroom and that it to everywhere. Have an excellent sound and the battery is a must. The model is gorgeous and fashionable. To a backup column to take away in my trips is awesome. Very recommended.

This little speaker has very impressive sound and I was excited to snag it on sale (although I was willing to pay the non-sale price)! It has everything I was looking for - small, portable size; long battery life; water resistant/waterproof and excellent sound quality.
