Marshall Emberton Bluetooth Portable Speaker - Black

Sound quality is great, battery life is pretty good great for music, movies, games, etc. But a big negative is the lack of an app or something to control the Bluetooth connectivity. If I am listening to a YouTube video, press pause, the speaker will turn off after a few seconds, even when I hit resume on the video. Its annoying and wish there was an app that could adjust those settings/controls.

Fantastic sound, great bass. Powerful little guy. Stylish iconic design. Great gift item!

Product is great all around I just hope it’s not used as I bought this products new but the box was opened when it arrived all sticker that say void when removed have been peeled off and someone tired to place them back on but I can obviously see this it says void and it kinda sucks that I paid $120 for this when I went on sat the next day for $100

surprised to like it after using three months as Im a fan of sound of Bose. Like the battery lasting long when Im using it quite long and frequently. Not to mention, it has nice classic and simple design which like better than Bose. Sorry Bose.

Sounds great, looks great!

Honestly impressed and have been for months. Great battery, water resistant, USB C. It does color the sound, especially so at the max two or three volume settings. It is not an unpleasant color to the sound, and I would expect any speaker this size to not sound entirely natural. I’ve recommended it to anyone who’s asked about it.

Excellent sound and very well built. So easy to connect and take anywhere!! Highly recommend

For example, if you play Bring me to Life, Evanescence, when starts, there is a background thunder, well, this speaker simply cuts it off. Nada. Same in many other songs, definitely they are DSP ing so sounds more acoustic but not what the artist intended. Also disappointed that uses SBC codecs in 2022. But it only on sale, full price is too much and not enough value. Also no microphone nor app, makes it more disappointing.

Indoors: Each unit sounds very different depending on where it is located. For the Emberton, it sounded a little too bassy in most locations and the mids and highs sounded drowned out because of that. The Bose also sounded a little too bassy but was more even on the mids and highs. In particular, the highs sounded great indoors. In certain spaces indoors, the Bose might have had the most even sound but only when standing right in front of the speaker. The JBL Flip 4 did not go as low in frequency response to the others however there was more clarity in the mids and had a more stereophonic sound. The Flip 4 in most cases sounded too bassy indoors (and I dont mean low bass but mid-bass). The Emberton sounded as one of the best when placed in the middle of the room. Outdoors: The Emberton was definitely the loudest and had the most bass and sounded better outdoors and had the best low frequency response as well as loudness. In some cases again, the bass drowned out the mids and highs. I liked the JBL Flip 4 outdoors for having a stereophonic sound and clarity in the mids and highs however the bass did not extend as low as the other 2. The Bose did not sound too good outdoors (worst of the 3 outdoors) and sounded the best indoors in particular situations. The Bose outdoors also did not perform well when not standing right in front of the speakers while the other 2, you can get pretty good response at different angles. As far as loudness and bass, the Emberton blew the other 2 away, but did not have the stereo spaciousness or mid/high clarity of the JBL.

This is a small miracle! I bought this speaker to take from room to room and listen to mostly classical and baroque music. I am very sensitive to the quality of music playback and was looking for something really worthwhile. In this column, I have a wonderful feel for low notes, such as the cello. The sound is very balanced. And when listening to choral recordings, the impression of presence is created. Naturally, all this will be at sufficient volume. If you dont like it, then blame the quality of your recordings, because this is a really great quality music playback device. Well, of course, do not expect the quality of stationary speakers, but its amazing for such a little one. I also want to note the simple intuitive control. To listen to music, you do not need bells and whistles. Definitely 5 stars!
