Review Text: Small, but mighty. This is a very small, very cool looking, very good sounding portable Bluetooth speaker that, in my opinion, has the coolest startup and shut down sounds that I have heard from a speaker. Both guitar riffs are just so cool and add a great touch to this speaker. The faux leather look and branded Marshall signature makes this look like a mini speaker that you would see on stage of your local band playing at your favorite small venue. This speaker preforms way better than its small statue would imply, and I am very impressed with the sound, the highs are not distorted when at full volume and the bass is deep and full. I charged the Emberton II via the USB Type C connector to full charge, which took it a few hours to fully charge and after about 30 minutes of playing music, the Marshall Bluetooth app (they need a better name since it just shows as "Bluetooth" in my app drawer) showed it was already down to 80%. I was very concerned that the rated 30 hours of battery life would not be achieved, but after the initial drop in power, it has lasted a full 30 hours plus some. I am going to call that a bug since it has not happened again to me. Regarding the app, besides the name that needs to be changed, it is pretty basic, but has the features that you like such as setting one of the three presets, starting stack mode, battery indicator and the ability to control the music you are listening to. Overall this is a nice sounding speaker that has a great battery life, IP67 Dust and Water-Resistant, Bluetooth 5.1, and is made with 50% recycled plastic so you can fell a little better about your purchase and helping the planet.
