The Marshall Emberton II is what happens when a legendary guitar amp maker decides to shrink their rock concert magic into something you can toss in a backpack. This tiny powerhouse looks like a miniature Marshall amp, complete with that classic black and brass styling, but packs enough punch to turn any space into your personal concert venue. Don’t let its compact size fool you – this thing brings the signature Marshall sound that’s been backing up rock stars since the ’60s.
Right now it’s going for $100, down from $170 – that’s a hefty $70 off (41%) for a premium portable speaker that usually commands top dollar.
Kickin’ bass and crisp treble at a great price
The sound quality is where this little beast really shines. Marshall’s True Stereophonic tech spreads sound in a 360-degree pattern, so you get killer audio whether you’re right next to it or across the room. Bass hits hard without getting muddy, and the highs stay crisp even when you crank it up.
Battery life is seriously impressive – we’re talking 30+ hours of playtime on a single charge. That’s enough juice for a whole weekend camping trip or several pool parties back-to-back. And speaking of pools, it’s got IP67 waterproofing, meaning it’ll survive a dunk in the water or a sudden downpour.
The build quality feels bulletproof – this isn’t one of those flimsy plastic speakers that feels like it’ll fall apart if you look at it wrong. The rugged design means you can toss it in your bag without worry, and the silicone exterior can handle its share of bumps and drops.
Bluetooth 5.1 keeps your connection rock-solid up to 30 feet away, and you can even pair two Emberton IIs together for true stereo sound. The controls are dead simple too – one gold joystick handles everything from volume to track selection.
Stack mode is a neat party trick – you can connect multiple Marshall speakers together to really fill a space with sound. And the Marshall app lets you tweak the EQ if you want to fine-tune your tunes.
At $100 (41% off), you’re getting a premium portable speaker that punches way above its weight class. Whether you’re a classic rock fan who digs the Marshall heritage or just someone who wants great sound in a tough, portable package, the Emberton II delivers. This is the kind of speaker that makes you wonder why you ever put up with tinny phone speakers or cheap Bluetooth units before.
