The Marshall Emberton II Speakers Are $70 Off for Black Friday

The Marshall Emberton II, available in black and brass, black and steel, and cream, is a great choice for anyone who loves the iconic Marshall rock aesthetic—and it’s now $99.99 (down from $169.99) for Black Friday. For a speaker this size, the Emberton II offers impressive sound performance, driven by dual 10W amps and passive radiators. Its unique setup has the left channel firing through the front grille and the right through the back, which isn’t true stereo but still creates a room-filling sound. It’s great for mid-sized spaces and even some larger rooms, though it might fall short for outdoor gatherings or backyard parties.

For those who want a stereo setup, the Stack mode (accessible through the Marshall app) lets you pair multiple Emberton II speakers together for added flexibility.

The sound quality of the Emberton II is solid, though not without its limitations. It handles moderate bass well, but deep lows can reportedly be a bit of a struggle. Highs are bright and crisp, giving it a clean, sculpted sound that works well for most genres at moderate volumes. However, its Bluetooth 5.1 support is limited to the SBC codec—good for casual listening but not ideal for audiophiles who listen to high-res audio, according to this PCMag review. On the bright side, with an IP67 rating, this speaker is built to handle poolside splashes, heavy rain, and even full submersion in water for up to 30 minutes. The added dust protection is also a plus, especially for its textured exterior that might otherwise collect grime. Battery life is rated at 30 hours (impressive for its class), though actual performance will depend on your listening habits and volume levels.

If you’re after a speaker with a similar sound and durability but at a lower price, the JBL Flip 6 is worth considering at $79.95 (down from $129.95). It offers a comparable audio experience and rugged build, making it a strong alternative for budget-conscious buyers.
