Finding a reliable portable speaker that actually delivers the powerful and crisp sound it promises is a challenge. This is probably most apparent at gatherings and parties when you can barely hear the music over the clamor. With that said, Marshall’s Emberton II portable speaker could change that — it’s almost 50% off right now, putting it under $100. Below, I talk more about all of the speaker’s features and why it might just be the thing you need to make your holiday parties feel festive this year.
Deal of the Day
NBC Select tech reporter Harry Rabinowitz included the Marshall Emberton in our roundup of the best portable bluetooth speakers on the market, and even named it one with the best sound quality. The device is 6.25 x 2.75 x 2.75 inches (close in dimension to small envelope of mail) and has a retro design, especially compared to other modern options. It has crisp audio and stereophonic sound that’s particularly great for those who love a base-heavy speaker, according to Rabinowitz. It has a silicone casing around the perimeter to prevent it from damage, also giving it the look that traditional music amplifiers have. You can download the Marshall app to adjust the presets for the speaker. Plus, it has up to 30 hours of playtime on a single charge, comes with a USB-C cable and is water and dust resistant, according to the brand.
