Great product with usage caveats
A few months ago I had an epiphany. When I was a kid my father loved to have the best in sound equipment in the house, and I would play with graphic equalizers and lay in the floor looking for the best position between the giant speakers to experiment how to better enjoy the music.Today, I hear music in monophonic audio in an old JBL Charge 3 speaker (don’t tell my dad, he would be ashame of me).So I started to get better equipment. Now, I live in a small apartment with thin walls in a 3rd floor, so, big amplifiers and so are out of the question, but at least I could get better bluetooth speakers, so I tried the Marshall Emberton II.To say that I impressed with the sound would be an understatement. With out-of-the-box settings, the sound is more than detailed. 80s and 90s music sound outstanding although, Peter Cetera’s Glory of Love and Toto’s Africa vocals sound as I never heard them before, they are sharp and strong, sometimes detracting just a little from the overall sound (keywords here, really, just a little).This brings me to my first recommendation: do not mess with your applications equalizers if you don’t know what you are doing. This speakers were clearly designed to use the manufacturer equalizer settings (more on this later). I have youtube music and amazon prime music (yeah, I know, no spotify), and my sound with the latter was to heavy on bass, to the point of drowning the music and feeling almost distorting. Tron: Legacy’s soundtrack sounded specially dreadful, as Daftpunk uses heavy bass in their electronic music for that specific music. I then set the equalization in Amazon Prime Music to flat. It was a different performance altogether. I could ever hear some slight effects they used, that I had not noticed before.Now, one down for the application. Bluetooth pairing used Google Fast Pair, which was seamless and impressive (it shows appears to be a custom Marshall little window, so, it looks cool), but the application takes forever to actually “discover” the device, even when it is already paired.When it finally discover it (which was not too long, but took a couple of turning on and off the speaker), the application notified me of a firmware upgrade, which I proceeded to install. The installation failed miserably, so, I temporarily stopped that effort, which I retook successfully a day later. The update was surprisingly big in size, taking around 5 minutes to download, and the application simply marked the update successful while the speaker was still rebooting, which took a few seconds more than what I feel comfortable with, but it went through, and after that, the application again took surprisingly long to detect the speaker.To end that topic, the equalization settings are definitely underwhelming, with only three modes: Marshall, Voice and Push, of which I have only tried Marshall as everybody else says that Voice is just for podcast and such and Push increases bass at the expense of all the other sound bands quality.Lesson learned: unless too picky, when using this speaker, leave your apps equalizers on flat, their profile is that good.Now, to the hardware itself, people will notice this little wonder. Using the nostalgia factor with the Marshall amplifier design was a touch of genius, and the brass button on top is the cherry on top. Some reviews complain about a single button approach to multifunction (power, volume, forward-back, bluetooth pairing has another almost invisible button, which fits because you are not changing your pairing frequently). If we can handle touch control on over-head and in-ear speakers, this button is a piece of cake.My only complain in this department is that, at least for me, an old guy, the signs indicating the functions around the button, being carved in the black speaker, which has texture, are for all intent and purposes invisible, but once you get accustomed, an use the logo as a positional reference that’s not a problem anymore.And finally, the little caveat. Single speaker, stereo sound. Let that sink in.Done? Ok, they achieve this trick by separating the sound left and right with drivers back and front respectively (or was it the other way around? well, you get my point). Stereo suffers a little (not too much) because both sources are incredibly close, but it brings this caveat. This speaker should not be set as others, against walls, like in shelf, and so, because you end up drowning one side.The best position for this speaker is in the center of the audio stage, and if you want to appreciate the sound, you should point one side (not the front or back) to you. that way both sources are equally distanced from you so you get a better balance.If you are ok with the caveats this product is worth the price, I definitely recommend it.

Perfect for office!
Great sound from surprisingly compact unit. Full, dynamic sound you can feel. This is not your typical tinny speaker box, this is a micro boom box. Doesnât hurt that itâs so attractive either.Large rooms with high ceilings will present a challenge, but for a small to medium sized office itâs perfect.

Three + 1/2 stars.
Feels churlish to give just three stars. 3.5 imo. So to the point. I bought this Em II to mainly listen to my true crime podcasts in my bedroom. Easy & seamless Bluetooth connection to my iPhone 14max. Easy straightforward use for controls on the unit. I really didnât need to look at the instructions with that. Smooth use there.To test the sound quality I streamed some mesic. The sound quality for music is fineâish considering the size of speaker. Itâs fine for background music if youâre flexible on sound quality as long as you donât play loudly, at that point the music will frazzle out. So limited, not surprising. Podcast quality is definitely an improvement from my phoneâs speaker and in line with the price point, in general. I think it should be about $25 less. The app is useless. I guess I expected something from the app. Iâm at a loss for the point of it. I tried it out on my phone. It continued so say my phone Bluetooth was not on. Even as I was literally playing music through it. I did all the stuff. Restart, reconnect etc. Reviewed the booklet, Nothing. Everything re the speaker and phone working fine. But what is the point of the app? I interpreted from the manual that I should download the app to get extra features. Maybe bass and treble controls? The book claims you can stack more speakers through the app but I would not invest in that as it continually says my phones Bluetooth is off. lolFine retro look, sturdy, small footprint and working out for podcasts. Do not think the app is or will be helpful.If I were to try another Iâd probably go with the Klipsch of similar design. Itâs approximately $50 more but better sound and working app.Remove $25 dollars off price on the Em II and itâs a fair deal.

La compré por lo que es .Una bocina portátil , puedes llevarla a donde quiera , el sonido es de lo mejor que he encontrado en ese tipo y tamaño de bocinas , pero lo más sorprendente es la duración de la baterÃa !También está increÃble el acabado , la piel es extra suave y la malla muy muy elegante , he tenido Bosé , sonos entre otras , y me ha gustado más el sonido y se siente mucho más premium el acabado y materiales

looks great, sounds great (smooth bass), easy setup, Way better than the small waterproof hand-held cheaper models. Marshall says it all. Recommended.

Que me gustó de ésta bocina: Bueno, pues lo primero y mas importante, la calidad del sonido que emite la bocina, es increible que de algo tan pequeño salga un sonido de tan alta calidad. Los materiales de los que está construida se ven sobrios pero elegantes y su diseño es agradable a la vista. Se siente de cosntrucción sólida y compacta. Su botón de funciones es sencillo e intuitivo. El indicador del nivel de bateria es adecuado. La encontré en barata, asà que la relación calidad-precio fue excelente.Que no me gustó de la bocina: Ojalá pudiera emitir mayor volumen de sonido, pero creo, por el tamaño, que es lo que puede alcanzar a emtir.

O som dela é muito bom, bem equilibrado e agradável. Tem potência sonora e boas respostas tanto em graves como nos agudos. A bateria dura bastante e é fácil de usar. Exceto pelo soquete de recarga que não aceita todos cabos USB-C. O encaixe é pequeno e só o cabo original consegue ficar no local e dar contato. A proteção externa deveria ter mais espaço para o plugue.De resto, ela faz jus à marca com bom acabamento e qualidade dos materiais.
