I used Marshall's Emberton III for two months — this small speaker has a mighty wallop

With a distinctive design and amazing sound, the Emberton III is one of my favorite Bluetooth speakers.

I like that the brand ported the design aesthetic into a smaller form factor, and the metal grille at the front with the embossed Marshall logo allows the Emberton III to stand out visually. Now, 20W may not seem like a lot when there are portable speakers like the Tribit StormBox Blast 2 that go up to 200W, but the Emberton III cleverly utilizes the internal design to produce a much louder sound than the hardware suggests.
