The Emberton is an opportunity for Marshall to return to the field of portable speakers, and even to try out adventure models. Does the manufacturer’s new recipe work? The answer in this test…
The Marshall Emberton is a robust portable speaker offering a direct and efficient audio experience, with punchy sound and a battery life of 20 hours. Easy to use, it offers a multipoint connection. However, it lacks precision at high volume and its limitation to essential functions, without a mini-jack input, could disappoint some.
Strong points
- Rich, lively and punchy sound.
- Good power reserve.
- Very neat and robust design. Pleasant speaker to handle.
- Ease of use, complete controls, multipoint connection (2 devices).
- Autonomy (20 h).
Weak points
- Sound reproduction not very subtle and lacking in precision.
- Harnessing power limited by distortion.
- No mini-jack input.
- No features, just the essentials.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Even if Bose has not taken many risks, the manufacturer remains at the top level with this new SoundLink Mini II. It offers a beautiful construction and above all excellent sound reproduction, in a very compact volume.
