Boom 2
Loud, bassy beast; needs EQ, no aux.

I bought several of them: JBL charge, Xtrem, marshall emberton 1, Willem, Sony ult. All of them have problems. I don't mean the sound, everything is alright there, I mean how they react. All the JBL start to blink after a while. It's like a Christmas tree in my bedroom. Just annoying and really not necessary. The marshall doesn't blink but switch off by itself if you stop playing music. Annoying again. And both are software related. If they wanted to upgrade it they could. Sony ult is different. It doesn't switch off, it has a microphone. It's great but why they didn't build this speaker accepting two phones connected? If someone has an idea of a perfect speaker that doesn't switch off, don't blink and accept two phones or computers I want to hear 🙉.
Does the emberton 3 have the same problem from previous marshall: switching off even if it is plugged. I still think it's a software problem so marshall could make an update. I stopped using my emberton 1 because of that.
Both 1 and 2 are awesome. I suggested 1 since it'd be cheaper now. Do go to an offline store and listen to it. If you care about music quality and not just the thump of the bass, Marshall is for you. If you're a basshead, JBL is for you.
Just bought a Boom v2 at Costco and was so impressed. Great little speaker for the money. I’ve got a Marshall Emberton and the Anker smokes it.
Emberton by Marshall is a boogie woogie sound machine. I have two flips 6 for my boat. All are great. But the Marshall is choice
I have a Marshall Emberton that sounds great and goes for a while without needing a charge.
I bought Marshall, may be i’m old school but, i like the sound of marshall emberton better than bose, bose sound great in all genres no doubt. Also, i can’t live with 12 hours battery, cause eventually all battery degrades overtime with extensive usage. No use being portable if you have to keep charging all the time. That’s my intake.
