5.0 out of 5 stars For a speaker its size, it's a beast in disguise
First off, I am not an expert on audio equipment and what I'm about to say is purely my own but I try to be as objective as I can. First, the Emberton II looks sleek. I love the design and simplicity. The emblem is prominent against the all-black finish. The overall texture of the finish feels so good to the touch! I also like that they used red illumination for the battery level and the power indicator. It's subtle for those who have any issue for bright lights. It feels sturdy at less than 1 kg and at that weight, I was initially worried about the quality of the sound.Now for the main event: Sound quality. The first thing I did after unboxing was to immediately pair it with my phone (I haven't tried the app but connectivity seems to be no problem for me, using the standard bluetooth pairing). Now, when I test a speaker for the first time, I usually play the theme from Game of Thrones and the Imperial March from Star Wars (I have to hear the clarity of the instruments and enjoy the sound. And yes, I am a fan of those two franchise so sue me). Upon playing, the intro rumble from the Game of Thrones Theme was so clear that it gave me goosebumps! What impressed me was that, there was a definition between the instruments so there was no overpowering one from the other. Next thing I did was to crank up the volume.... Again I am not an expert on these matters but from what I experienced and HEARD, this tiny speaker can really deliver! The same clarity can be heard even at max volume (using my phone as source via bluetooth). Unlike my previous purchases (in fairness, they are smaller and forgivable) where they sound like an empty can, this beast can really deliver even at maximum volume (my apologies to my neighbors downstairs!). I switched to The Imperial March and did the same routine again. What a joy! It delivered the same results that almost made me use to Force! I also played other songs (j-rock, R & B, Old School Rock, Old School Rap) and I was really satisfied. One other thing that I noticed was that the vocals are so clear and prominent, it feels as if I'm using a 3.1 channel audio equipment. My only issue is that it has no 3.5 mm audio socket (I'm an old school) but I believe I can use the USB-C port for that (I have to purchase a separate adapter for it though). Based on the others' opinion, it is possible to plug a 3.5 mm jack. I have yet to try it.Overall, I am happy. I am satisfied. I will not make any recommendations since each and every individual has specific tastes in sound quality but I will say this.. Include this in your list of potential candidates when you are shopping for a portable speaker and give it a shot.All I can say, personally, is that the Marshall Emberton II really exceeded my personal expectations and it was worth every cent that I poured into. Similarly to when I bought my first Marshall (Major IV), I can say I am glued to Marshall for my audio needs and I do not see myself looking at other brands at the moment. That's how satisfied I am.

I felt the need to write a review/share my opinion on this speaker so here we go.I have tried all of the top reviewed speakers in this category, from Sony, Bose, JBL, UE to B&O and for me at least, this is the only one that stands noticeably head and shoulders above the others.Whilst I totally appreciate that each of us has our own idea of what sounds good and that makes absolute sense as we are all different. However, there is one aspect that I feel people fail to grasp and that is the physical dimensions of (all) portable speakers in this category. Physics and how sound travels is an important consideration that is often missed. I read reviews on all these speakers saying 'no bass' well that is to be expected, no speaker this size will be able to produce sub bass levels, it's just not possible. The key to a good sounding speaker is making the balance between treble, mids and bass in tune with one another.This for me is where the Emberton II comes in to its own. It does have very good bass, realistic I would say and accurate. Combine it with the overall sound signature and it simply works really well. Granted, a lot depends on the music you listen to, so I will share a few tracks I use to evaluate speakers and headphones.Primal Scream - Free (from the Nashville tapes) The range produced on this track is amazing, bass is superb.Eric Clapton - Hotel California MTV Live, distant instrument separation.London Grammar - Hey Now, vocal clarity but still managing to demonstrate the haunting musical accompaniment.The Reytons - Red Smoke, all out anthem Indie Rock with guitars, drums and bass, great balance.Nas - NY State of Mind, powerful rap from back in the day is presented close to my vinyl copy on much bigger speakers.Gerry Cinnamon - Folk/Punk, beautiful guitars and vocals, the Glaswegian accent really shines.Sailor Honeymoon - Cockroach, bass guitar intro before crashing guitars and that voice.Kevin Yost - Beatkilla, electronic bass heavy. Admittedly, I have to place the speaker close to a well or better still, in a corner, but the speaker still shines. Is the bass booming? no, does it do the album justice bearing in mind the speaker size, Hell yes and I defy anyone to disagree.So, there you go, this is my honest appraisal. And I have not mentioned the battery life, amazing appearance, build quality etc. It's an all round powerhouse of a portable speaker.Another thing people tend to mention in reviews 'at full volume the bass sounds weaker' back to the physics. To put this in to perspective, speakers this size, full volume with bass heavy tracks means one thing, burst speakers were forever after your speaker will rattle and pop. There is an element of computational control over the music, intended to ensure the longevity of the speaker, not just in the Emberton II but all modern speakers. It's intentional to clip the extremes. We should be thankful as our hard earned expects quality...If you just want bass, I suggest the Bose Soundlink Flex, it is slightly more boomy but in doing so you lose some of the frequency range elsewhere, that may be OK with you. This takes me back to my early comment, I think this speaker, for the types of music I listen to, offers the absolute best balance of sound across the full range of frequencies.I hope this helps.
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than all the rest this size and even many bigger ones
The sound quality from this little speaker is amazing. It has real depth and the volume can be turned up pretty loud with no distortion. I've tried lots of other brands - Sony, Google etc - but they all have problems. The various Sony products for iPhone, for example, always caused me headaches trying to keep a link to my phone without grinding to a halt.The app that comes with this Marshall speaker is very easy to use and straightforward. It has a graphic equaliser with presets (rock, pop, jazz etc) but you can change each element easily. It's more expensive that some others but it's worth it. I use it every day. I'm just delighted with it. It holds its charge really well and can go on for weeks.It adds a nice tone if you use it for the spoken word, and I use it a lot when playing books on Audible.
5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding!
The sound quality from this speaker is absolutely amazing, it's such a clear sound and you can download the Marshalls app the fine tune the sound with treble, bass and midrange. It's easy to connect using Bluetooth and lasts for hours, USB charging port. Carry case comes with a carry handle so easy to attach to bags via caribeners. Great value for money.
Excellent
Great speaker
Tamaño, Diseño
Es una buena herramienta, es muy portátil y tiene muy buena línea estética, suena bastante bien y con muy buena potencia, es a prueba de agua eso da puntos adicionales, la adquirí en Oferta en solo $2,500 Pero la verdad vale cada peso, lo único es que a un volumen moderado no cumple con las 30 horas de batería, pero aun así la recomiendo, comprare nuevamente la marca pero ahora más grande
Crisp, clear sound and even better when stacked!
Audiophiles will love how much the music played in these speakers sounds the way it was meant to sound. Providing you have a great recording.The build quality is perfect. I bought the cream colored one. Elegant and classy looking. Will fit in any nice decor.Played it for my husband, a professional musician and he immediately ordered another, for himself. It was that good.Honestly, before this, there were no Marshall speakers I had liked enough to buy.Once my husband’s speaker arrived we tried out the stacking feature. Once we finally figured out how to get it to work. Wow! It sounded great. Like spatial audio if you center yourself between the two speakers. He immediately ordered two more Emberton II’s so we could both enjoy the stacking feature.The only disappointment is that it doesn’t stack in stereo. So you don’t get that speaker interplay from stereo recordings.To stack, only connect one of the two speakers via bluetooth to your device. Then follow the instructions for button pressing to stack the second one, without connecting it to the same device via bluetooth. The speakers connect to each other independently. While the main one is connected to your device.They are also surprisingly loud.The Marshall app EQ controls are kind of lame. But you can get a bit more base out of it.Very pleased! But not enough experience yet to know about battery life.
Outstanding Sound in a Compact Package
I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. This portable Bluetooth speaker delivers exceptional sound quality for its size. The audio is rich, clear, and surprisingly powerful, with deep bass and crisp highs that don’t distort even at higher volumes. It’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.The 360° sound feature is a great addition, ensuring that music sounds great from any angle. The battery life is another standout — it lasts for hours, easily getting through a full day of use without needing a charge. Plus, it's incredibly durable with an IP67 rating, so it's dustproof and water-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor adventures.The design is classic Marshall — vintage and stylish, with the signature logo on the front. It also feels solid and well-built, with a weight that gives it a premium feel without being too heavy for portability.One thing to note is that while it’s a bit pricier than some competitors, the sound quality and durability more than justify the cost. If you're a music lover or looking for a reliable speaker that looks as good as it sounds, the Marshall Emberton II is a fantastic investment.Highly recommended!
