Update after Three Year's use__________________________Mostly this has been very reliable having been in daily use most of the time and surviving being dropped more than once.On one occasion it just locked up, would not turn off or respond in any way, but had a flashing red light. After about an hour or so it seemed to recover and since then it has been nearly ok apart from one quirk. Sometimes when it is still 'awake' and waiting for the next bluetooth input, it will emit a quiet sort of click or scratch sound at intervals of a few seconds. That seems to go away when an actual audio signal is received.One major annoyance - the sound it makes on connect/disconnect is too loud and cannot be adjusted in any way. A purely visual signal would be better.Original review below:-------------------------Easily carried from room to room. It's ok by the bedside for quiet listening as well as louder when needed. The gold nameplate and knob finish is a nice touch. Generous bass for such a tiny box - better than any transistor radio of a similar size that I ever heard. Bluetooth connection to phone or tablet is excellent.It's good for spoken voice radio as well as watching films or TV, but really shines with music of various types, from folk through jazz and classical, even bass-heavy rock and pop. There is some sort of stereo effect, but not spectacular. Place it near a wall or in a corner for even fuller bass.It has been mentioned elsewhere that the 3.5mm cable connection is flawed, I found that too - the device rapidly goes into a sleep mode in a couple of seconds, then wakes up just after the next track or sound has begun. Having said that, I've used a 3.5mm lead to listen to a talk on BBC R4 and it was ok. Use bluetooth where possible instead, no problems there.This is a modestly powered speaker, if you want ear-shattering volume, then look for something larger and more powerful.At £144 when purchased, a reasonably-priced way to add a bit of oomph inevitably lacking on most built-in device speakers.Overall, definitely recommended.

The Marshall Emberton II is a compact powerhouse, delivering impressive sound in a portable package. Its rugged design makes it perfect for on-the-go use, while its long battery life ensures hours of uninterrupted playback. With crisp highs, rich mids, and surprising bass for its size, the Emberton II delivers a balanced and immersive listening experience. Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to pair with devices, and the multi-directional control knob adds a touch of vintage flair. Overall, the Emberton II is a solid choice for those seeking premium sound quality in a portable speaker.

The marshal speaker is nothing short of 5 stars. As big a sound as a device twice its size and it looks like a mini guitar amp. Pass through charging is the biggest hit, totally possible to charge while listening. And it’s small enough to fit in a laptop bag.

The sound and bass is amazing, design is awesome and it’s small enough to bring around, whether that be your kitchen or outside, and look cool while being there. Honestly the style is one of the reasons why I purchased it. The classic but simple lettering on the speaker just makes you want to show it off. The connection is seamless and it’s easy to use. No complaints yet.

Slip it into your bag or pocket, and you have a powerful sound system wherever you go.Sound Performance: Don’t be fooled by its size; the Emberton packs a punch. With two 10W drivers, it delivers a surprisingly rich and dynamic sound. The bass is deep and satisfying, the mids are clear, and the highs are crisp, offering a well-balanced audio experience. Even at high volumes, the sound remains distortion-free, showcasing Marshall’s commitment to audio excellence.In conclusion, the Marshall Emberton is a testament to Marshall’s engineering prowess.
