Emberton III

I use a Marshall Emberton lll on my writing/vanity desk. Its surprisingly loud and has great bass. I bought the ll when it went on clearance but it couldn't handle bass, I hated it immediately. So I wouldn't recommend that one.

From best to worst 1. Soundcore motion + 2. Klipsch nashville 3. Sony ult field 5 & tribit stormbox lava (tie) 4. Marshall emberton 3 & Bose soundlink flex 2 (tie) 5. Kef muo 6.tribit stormbox blast (OG) & Earfun uboom x(tie) 7. Soundcore boom 2 & x600 8. Harman kardon onyx studio 6 9. UE everboom, wonder boom & epicboom Soundcore motion + has been discontinued and has no ip dust rating Klipsch nashville, kef muo, bose soundlink flex 2, and harman kardon onyx studio 6 are mono format speakers Sony ult field 5, tribit stormbox lava & blast, earfun u boom x, Soundcore boom 2 & x600, UE epicboom and HK onyx studio 6 are all pretty large. The Marshall emberton 3, UE everboom & epic boom are 360⁰ speakers this is subjectively worse than a forward firing speaker for soundquality.

I suggest either Marshall Emberton III or the Bose Soundlink flex they are both really good

I do, actually... The sound of the flex is only a little better than the emberton, and if you like the aesthetic, i think you should go for it..

yes. I have used both. i personally don't like their amp sound, and the speaker was good for it's size

Emberton 3 is pretty good. I decided to step up to the middleton 2 for a fuller sound experience. I wish they could get the middleton sound in the size of an emberton for portability. I personally did not like the sound of the Ultimate Ear products and found some of the controls a little wonky at times. They are priced good, but I just didn't care for them and returned them. JBL does sound fantastic, but the Marshall edged it out for me. I prefer the looks of the Marshall speakers as well over most other brands.

Just got the Bose SoundLink flex 2 and am impressed. Good balanced sound and solid build. If you are in the US, best buy has all of these on display that you can actually hear - that is what I did. Marshall Emberton III was also pretty good but more expensive and Bose sounded better anyway. Did not like the sound out of the Roam 2 or the Beats pill.
