Marshall’s Emberton is a basic but brilliant Bluetooth speaker

USB-C charging, IPX7 waterproofing, and great sound.

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

No microphone ; Cringe-inducting startup sound

Marshall’s latest Bluetooth speaker, the Emberton, is its smallest. It’s also one of the few compact options to hit the market with great sound, long-lasting battery life, convenient USB-C charging, and IPX7 waterproofing.

Marshall Emberton Review

Depending on your priorities, the Marshall Emberton is either the ideal portable Bluetooth speaker or a little overpriced. We'll explain: For $149, the Emberton is a little smaller and less powerful than the competition. But its compact size can...

Powerful audio performance for the size Cool, compact design Waterproof

No speakerphone functionality No aux input

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

Marshall Emberton speaker review

The Marshall Emberton is the brand's smallest speaker to date, but it is surprisingly powerful, and looks it great, too.

Sounds great ; Fits in with any decor, while remaining portable ; Weighty and durable

No stereo pairing option ; Not the cheapest

A good-looking, powerful speaker that’s well-built and still portable, the Marshall Emberton is one of the best Bluetooth speakers we’ve tested.

Review: Marshall Emberton | It Looks Tougher Than It Sounds Marshall Emberton

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.

Marshall Emberton looks like a downsized guitar amp, a look that will probably appeal to many rock lovers. It has a long battery life, and a trustworthy weight – and it is of course waterproof.

Marshall Emberton review: Little rockstar

The speaker market is full of stacks of options, many of which look the same, others which might look interesting but don't offer good enough audio quality. Marshall, on the other hand, presents itself with style, offering signature appeal and a sound...

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

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.

Packs a punch

I've been living with speaker for a couple of weeks and really pleased. Out performs my existing Heavy Jam speaker which was a similar price. Really solid feel and connects easily, even at a distance.
