he personal audio arm of Marshall, a company best-known for its British-built guitar amps, has a new ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker: The $149 Emberton.<\/p>\n The tiny speaker looks like it’s intended to be an electric guitar companion, thanks to the amp-inspired design cues that typifies the entire Marshall line<\/a>. However, its ambitions are more modest. As an IPX7-rated device with a claimed 20-hour battery life, the Emberton is really just an ultra-stylish alternative to Bluetooth speakers<\/a> like the JBL Flip 5<\/a> , Sony SRS-XB23<\/a> , and the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n Even if the Emberton proves to be no better at blasting the tunes that these other speakers, its classy looks could earn it a place on people’s wish lists — most portable, water-resistant Bluetooth speakers look more like fashionable beach toys than quality audio products.<\/p>\n Those looks might be more than skin-deep. Marshall claims the Emberton delivers a sound much louder and larger than its size and outperforms most speakers in its class.<\/p>\n The key to this boast is something the company calls True Stereophonic, which it says is a multi-directional sound experience achieved by “separating out the spatial content of stereo recordings.”<\/p>\n We can’t yet say how successful the Emberton is on the audio front, but we’ve had mixed experiences with the company’s other speakers. Its $399 Tufton speaker<\/a> proved to be an excellent performer for parties, but its Uxbridge<\/a> smart speaker was decidedly underwhelming in terms of audio quality.<\/p>\n The Emberton can’t afford to disappoint on sound: There are no extra bells and whistles at all on this portable. You can’t use it as a speakerphone, it won’t let you charge other devices from its battery, there’s no auxiliary input for non-Bluetooth sources, and so far, Marshall hasn’t indicated that you can use the Emberton as a stereo pair or as part of a multi-speaker system — features that have become standard on similarly priced speakers.<\/p>\n What you do get is a two-hour battery that can fast-charge via USB-C (20 minutes will translate into five hours of playtime) and a clever one-button control that lets you play\/pause, skip tracks, adjust volume and power the unit up and down. There’s also an LED battery gauge to let you know how much fuel is left in the tank.<\/p>\n If you like the Emberton’s promise of great sound and good looks in a highly portable and water-resistant package, it hits stores July 1 for $149 or less.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Simon Cohen<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Marshall](\"https:\/\/icdn2.digitaltrends.com\/image\/digitaltrends\/marshall-emberton-bt-speaker-2-1200x9999.jpg\")
