- How does the Emberton III compare with the Emberton II?
- The third generation keeps the same compact, rugged shape but adds a built-in microphone for calls and extends the claimed battery life past the previous model's 30 hours. Sound tuning is similar, so the upgrade matters most if you take calls on the speaker.
- Is it waterproof enough for the beach or pool?
- Yes. It carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and can survive being submerged in shallow water for a short time. Rinse and dry it after saltwater or sand exposure.
- How does it compare with the Marshall Middleton?
- The Middleton is larger and heavier, with more drivers and a strap, so it plays louder with more bass. The Emberton III is easier to carry and still lasts longer per charge on paper.
- Does it have an app or EQ controls?
- No. Marshall does not offer app-based EQ or custom sound profiles on the Emberton line, so the tuning is fixed. Controls on the top handle power, pairing and volume.
- Can I use it for phone calls?
- Yes. The built-in microphone lets you take hands-free calls, a feature the earlier Emberton models lacked.
- What's in the box?
- The speaker comes with a USB-C charging cable and quick-start documentation. A charger is not included.
