Marshall Emberton III Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Cream)

Authentic product. I checked every bit that I know.Lots of fake out there, looks very identical if not side by side. Official Marshall cannot confirm it even when I provided serial numbers of the 2x I bought (Refer Screenshot). Thats crazy, even fake ones copy serial numbers now.1 main give away is that the charging red bars MUST BE SMOOTH and fluid like water (Refer to video). Fake ones, the charging is still fast, BUT RIGID and STIFF.This 1 has 6 sided screw head (see attached), fake ones use 4 screw.This 1 has 2 circle seals on box (sealed when arrived).This 1 has Silica gel that has dark text, fake ones has faded text.This Logo is clear, smooth gold (refer attached).Fake ones has logo that sort of look like hand painted brush (inconsistent gradient of gold ... MoreAuthentic product.

Value For Money:Most definitely…you get what you paid forPerformance:Impressive sound quality and buildBest Feature(s):Sound quality and overall design aesthetic.Decided to buy from the official Marshall store here in Singapore. It arrived a day after placing the order and the Marshall customer service agent was very responsive and helpful.Was on the fence initially on paying top dollar for a bluetooth speaker but bit the bullet eventually and went all in. No regrets!😃Really like the design aesthetic and build as it looks like a mini version of a Marshall amplifier and has a solid weight to it.The icing on the cake would have to be the sound quality. Downloaded the app…set the EQ and had a blast literally.Very satisfied indeed and I’d totally recommend ... MoreValue For Money:Most definitely…you get what you paid forPerformance:Impressive sound quality and buildBest Feature(s):Sound quality and overall design aesthetic.Decided to buy from the official Marshall store here in Singapore.

Good quality speaker

I love the stylish look of this speaker. It looks even better in person and has a premium feel.I usually play music from my iPhone and never realised that the quality was poor until I tried this speaker. There is a definite improvement in the quality of the sound now that I've begun using this speaker instead of my phone.It was easy to set up via the app, the battery lasts a long time, and I like the options to increase bass. I haven't really used the app since set up but it might be useful to other people.I was also impressed at the sturdiness of the speaker, although it isn't too heavy. I seems quite robust so I'm sure it would be easy to travel with, without it getting broken or scratched easily.The only annoying point is that the speaker comes with a ... MoreI love the stylish look of this speaker.

I seems quite robust so I'm sure it would be easy to travel with, without it getting broken or scratched easily.The only annoying point is that the speaker comes with a USB-C cable but not a 3-pin plug. Most of my plugs are standard USB compatible so I had to purchase a plug in order to use the item! Also, I'm not sure what material the exterior is made of, but it is ever so slightly tacky and therefore appears to attract dust more than other items placed around it.

Great portable speaker so far!

I have really enjoyed using this speaker so far! It was so easy to set up - unbox, it had some battery charge already, the Bluetooth connected straight away to my iPhone - tah dah!I have downloaded the app, but haven't found a need to use it.As the speaker is waterproof, I have left it in the bathroom, but also recently took it on a weekend away which was so handy! The battery life lasts a long time.The sound quality I think is really great and the volume is very loud - it goes much louder than I can imagine needing in my 2 bed house.The design is really nice I think, smart black and gold it looks good on a side table or window ledge etc.The only downside I can think of is that it makes a sound when you turn it on / off that sometimes is a little irritating. ... MoreI have really enjoyed using this speaker so far!

Great sound and Stylish

Having used this speaker for a few weeks, I am really impressed.Look/style - I love the style of this speaker. Unsurprisingly, it looks like a small Marshall amplifier, so it's a timeless classic. It's textured - like the amp - with gold accents on the badge and button on the top. It looks great.Sound quality - the sound quality is really solid. I've been using this for both music and podcasts and both have been brilliant. Vocals are clear and music has a great range, plenty of bass and good clarity on the higher end. Theres also options to change the EQ to your liking in the app which a nice feature.Build quality and usability - the speaker feels really solid, it's got a nice weight to it and grilles over the speakers are well secured. It paired up to my ... MoreHaving used this speaker for a few weeks, I am really impressed.Look/style - I love the style of this speaker.

It paired up to my phone easily and has really good Bluetooth range. I can comfortably move around rooms on the same floor at home with no drop in connection. Volume, song skipping and play/pause is controlled with a joystick on the top. It's intuitive and looks good. However, I do occasionally find myself pausing music when trying to change the volume.Lastly, the battery life is great. I've been using this daily and only had to re-charge it once in the time I've had it. It also has a battery level indicator on the top which is really helpful for keeping track of when it is time to charge.I would definitely recommend this speaker!

Incredibly easy

I use the speaker when I tune in to Global Player or Spotify.One thing I was really grateful for is how easy it was to get it connected to my phone and tablet. I'm not so young that I know all about these things and sometimes it is very difficult to get technology to comply with my wishes! For once I didn't have to call for my grandson's assistance. It was very quick and painless.Once connected I quickly turned on Global Player on my phone - simples! Classic came through immediately. Then I turned to my tablet which told me that as the Email address was already associated I didn't need to do anything but listen - relief! Spotify came through effortlessly.The sound from my phone was less clear than the sound from my tablet. It was still very good though and the ... MoreI use the speaker when I tune in to Global Player or Spotify.One thing I was really grateful for is how easy it was to get it connected to my phone and tablet.

Spotify came through effortlessly.The sound from my phone was less clear than the sound from my tablet. It was still very good though and the sound from my tablet was excellent. My husband has a Bang and Olafson portable speaker in his work shop and I would say the sound quality was very close to that.The simple buttons on the top are easy to understand and work well.I fully charged the device, but I can't tell you how long that will last as I haven't managed to flatten it yet. My phone ran out before the device did and I can't see any decrease in the indicator light after several hours of use.It looks quite neat, although l think the "gold" lettering on the front makes it look a bit cheap and tacky. Just my opinion, I prefer things to be a little more subtle.Overall I think it is a cracking device at a reasonable price it is well worth the investment. I'm very pleased with it.

Small yet MIGHTY!

I was very pleasantly surprised by just how easy this speaker was to set up (less than 20 seconds from unboxing to being in action!). Now that is a real plus given how busy everyone is!Super simple to work - with a very intuitive button on the top to turn the volume up or down and move along your playlists.Smart looking - the black is perfect - and the speaker a great size to move around / take on holiday (could be fab by a pool!). The battery life is LOOONG - another plus - and it comes with a handy charging lead (longer than some which is useful).It has a great sound - especially given its little size - and as the music got louder, the sharpness of the notes was not lost. Impressive sound for the price.I have to say that I need to keep this speaker close ... MoreI was very pleasantly surprised by just how easy this speaker was to set up (less than 20 seconds from unboxing to being in action!).
