Very helpful review Aaron. I have been wondering between the two. But now I have made my decision.

[@hayhay9757]

Your reviews are exactly how reviews should be. Thanks for your inputs.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching

[@wat3rm3lynn]

Great review! Helps us decide which one to get between the 2. Thank you!!

[@gemmagem257]

One of the best reviews ever!!! Thank you so much. ❤

[@endo9913]

Excellent review. The best out there on these products in my opinion and helped me make up my mind which of these I want: Emberton II for me.

[@neerand]

What a great and clean review. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you. 🙏

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Glad it was helpful!

[@88Z51Vette]

You always do very good videos. Thank you!

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thank you!

[@markcollins8881]

Hi Aaron, This is a very good video. Unlike many other video attempts by various media types, I found your sound comparison easy to follow and interpret. You presented a likeable description of the differences between the two speakers as well, and I will look for future videos. If and when you do get out of the house more often, one "baby step" you may want to consider would be to take a chance on wearing a pair of "Elvis Costello-style" glasses just as a change of pace, which would give you a fresh new look. Thanks!

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thanks for watching and that suggestion! 😁

[@CarMumel_Anthony]

I want a simple 2 speaker set-up.. what can u suggest? Get 2 willens or 1 willen and 1 emberton ?

[@darkxnne.7905]

got my willen today and compared to my emberton, emberton is for my room only and willen is for my travel so happy with them not much with minor lll

[@rahulmanoharan9746]

You helped me decide mate. Thanks

[@michaelmarmion648]

Class review, I have both of these speakers and this review is spot n, thanks.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Excellent. Thanks for watching

[@jamescps8799]

I just bought Willen because of its size. Sound wise vocal is very superb, but not much clarity in bass and treble, but overall the sound quality is great for its price and compact size.

[@Twittruddin]

I wanna see Marshall release next versions of both Willen & Emberton with Aux-in and FM.

[@zt9233]

If it had aux I would have an emberton 2. But now I’m debating that and Middleton which is bigger than what I want.

[@thanasislunatic]

Bought emberton 2. Anyone having battery issues? After full charge falls 20% after 1 minute full volume. I have already replaced one and I don’t know if it’s mine faulty. Also latest update

[@unknwn_usr3077]

Is there any lag in the sound when watching movies or gaming?

[@Tanya_V]

This looks very cool. I am making list of stuff to when i have my own place lol pretty crammed in my little room 😂

[@aaronloudnwireless]

You’ll get more space for sure, hopefully soon!

[@Princess92Isabella]

I need to save up more for Emberton II, definitely loving the sound. 🥰

Does it has a microphone like Willen?

How to order emberton?

[@avina95]

I own the Emberton 1, I been thinking of updating to the 2 for the app connectivity but I’m still not convinced also the price of $170. The Willen is ok but not for the $120 price tag. I bought my Emberton for $130 from UO with a $20 off so I got a good deal.

[@youngtk7993]

I also own the Emberton 1, the Emberton 2 have brighter sound signature which brighter than Jbl Charge 5 if you compare it in Rtings. If you prefer how smooth and comfortable Emberton 1 sounds, dont get the Emberton 2.

[@rexflores8461]

I agree I want to buy the willen but its to expensive for what you get

[@ronakbarman3580]

Emberton 2 vs uxbridge?

[@JB-hj5tp]

Please compare Willen to Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. 🙏

[@howcute1605]

Hello I need help with my Bluetooth headphones its very delayed when I play games but when I watch video's it is not delayed. I tried changing the codecs from the developer option, but it seems that everytime i switch tabs or close the developer option it just comes back to its original settings. Any solution?

[@JVJF7]

That's because your phone compensates the latency with video. Games are not predictable, so that trick won't work.

[@andrewmoore1536]

You came to a Marshall speaker review for headphone troubleshooting?

[@howcute1605]

@@andrewmoore1536 Well i wanted to ask a professional in this stuff considering he likes to review this I assumed he had knowledge prior to my problem

[@waynedexter]

I really really wanted to like the Emberton Mainly because I love its aesthetics/form factor But I compared it to the Bose Soundlink Flex and that speaker sounds way better… So since they’re around the same price I highly suggest getting the Bose. Especially if sound is your main concern But if looks are your main thing then get the Emberton. Plus it sounds decent

[@goofyaughhsound2245]

Same, just bought the bose even though i like the marshall aesthetic way more. But the sound reall is a lot bettet

[@savageaf1943]

martial sound better clear bass... even jbl is better than bose.

[@bernard5260]

I agree with you till your last statement. Marshall isn't only about the looks but it's about it's features and the genre of music you listen to. If you love listening to Blues, R&B, Jazz, Rock, Raggae, Country music, etc my piont if you like settle music then Marshall is your choice but if you like Hip Hop, Electronic Music, Funk, etc the Bose is your choice. And let's not forget the 360 soundstage or whatever they call it feature where you can hear the smae sound no matter the angle you sit. And of course battery life, if you also paratise battery then Marshall is the choice leading the Bose up triple the battery of it. And if you also want to watch videos then the Marshall takes it with it's low latency. I tried both at the store and i chose the Marshall because of what i mentioned about. I played the genre of music i love on both and loved the sound i was getting from the Marshall and i went with it. And i haven't regretted a single bit because of how good the stereo is espeacilly when watching a video and i also don't listen to it at high volume.

[@avadakedavra5789]

I am having emberton 1 I bought that in feb 2022. I want to know hoe emberton 2 comparrs with its first gen speaker. Should I upgrade to emberton 2 ?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

The 2nd gen has more battery and app support. In that way it's definitely an improvement if you wish to upgrade

[@yeffblanco]

Excellent review. Answered my questions. I mostly listen to podcasts, so I will buy the Willen model. Thank you.

[@samcalisthenics78]

I hear your video over the Marshall Major 3 . I love Rock and Metal music and my Marshall Major 3. I enjoy Guitar sound over my Majors headphones. I like your channel. Greetings from a German subscriber 😁🙌🏾✌🏾

[@AMIGA79]

In this size and weight category the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is still class leader at the half of the price. 2nd Gen. is better in battery performance and sound neutrality than the predecessor but the 1st Gen. still is a good choice if you can get it on sale. Definitely better than Willen and Bose Micro.

[@gigisheltie]

I bought Willen 😎💕💕🎼 Loving it

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

I have an older Bose mini speaker that at the time was a decent enough product if a little expensive at the time. I just picked up an Emberton 2 a few days ago and immediately set about trying various tracks from my HiFi quality tracks from Tidal. I'm over the moon with the sound. My background being one of a HiFi enthusiast that has spent years buying, listening, up grading where now my system is worth in excess of £50k .... Having said this, the Marshall represents great value for money, is very well made, nicely finished and gives very good sound quality for such a compact speaker. The Marshall app is basic but works well enough and I'm sure there are comparable Bluetooth speakers out there that can offer a slightly better sound however, be under no illusion, the sound from this little speaker belies its size and price. In all its well worth a consideration.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

This is one underrated product indeed 👍🏻

[@frozengamer3030]

I bought the Willen a few days ago. Love ot so far

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Good purchase 👍🏻

[@frozengamer3030]

@@aaronloudnwireless Thanks. Is there a price difference between the two

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Yup, Emberton II's USD 189

[@Spreadsheet1com]

Has the Willen been tested with the Apple iWatch Ultra in a call in eSIM mode only (without using an iPhone)?

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

I upgraded from Bose Micro to Willen. The overall sound of Micro is better for my taste. It’s somehow cleaner & more balanced. Willen is better in loudness and battery life. I expected more bass from Willen as it’s more powerful. I don’t regret that I spend my money on Willen, I just expected a little bit more from it.

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

@Adineo Bose

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

@Adineo You’re welcome. Bose sounds better at volume 60% and less but Willen is overall louder and sound gets worse after 80%. Bose limit is 70%, after it sounds like shit.

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

@Adineo I suggest you to choose Willen if you care about battery life and loudness (which is important outdoors). If 6+ hours at 50-60% volume is fine for you then Bose Micro is a good choice as well. But anyway, Micro is old model (more than 5 years if I’m not wrong). In long term perspective Willen is better choice in my opinion. Sound is decent, battery life is excellent. And you always can experiment with EQ in apps like Spotify and similar.

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

@Adineo You’re welcome! Hope you’ll enjoy it.

[@savageaf1943]

jbl and martial better than bose

[@user-qm2hk9xg4i]

How much

[@321bytor]

Marshall make some great looking gear. Good video Aaron 👍

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thanks! Yea they do 😁

[@dTriX09]

here the Emberton II is a clear winner, since it produces better rich bass and cyrtal clear sound. only bad thing about emberton is not having a band to carry around easily.

[@woofinu]

I have the Emberton I. For sound alone, how do you think the II compares to the I?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

There doesn't seem to be much of a difference as far as I can tell. That being said it's been a long time since I had the original Emberton

[@woofinu]

@@aaronloudnwireless When I got the Emberton I last year, I could choose from several small speaker brands and went with it because it was stronger on bass than other models (without being "stuffy"). I don't think it has lost that but don't know if it gained anything.

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

Not worth to upgrade.

[@Argooh]

I need the willen due to it having less bass. Living in an apartment.. you really can't be having heavy bass.

BUT. Would. Expect. Stereo optionality!!! (i.e. stacking two or more adding optionality to direct Stereo and Surround Sound... I'm sure they have this in mind for another time, but I think all of them are rather late... I mean look at our technological capabilities)

emberton II

[@moondrop_5019]

There are huge differences on both speakers. Willen tend to have more spacious sound signature but lack of bass. Emberton 2 have better bass, but sound stage is narrower. I am listening with my Emberton 1 😄

[@vladtheimpaler7214]

Willen has a distorted sound in full volume.

[@sergeivysokin2163]

👍

[@schorschgaggo1601]

The diffrence between the Emberton II and the Motion+ is quite embarrassing, night and day! The Souncore Motion+ for even less is simply still the reference and the Emberton II sadly also doesn't even come close in terms of sound quality!

[@user-mw9hb6fj8f]

For trebble go for willen

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

The Emberton II is really bright and lacking bass at high to max volume. It's an all out ear assault as stated in my review. 😂

[@lukabosnjak3829]

Basically both of these are not even decent regarding the sound, you can get the Tribit micro 2 which sounds much more serious than Willen. They look quite cool tho but what's the point unfortunately...

[@atl3630]

The Marshall sounds significantly better than the tribit, especially after you adjust the eq via the Marshall app

[@lukabosnjak3829]

@@atl3630 Anyone who thinks that Willen sounds better than Tribit doesn't know how a speaker should. Marshall is harsh with some peeks in the treable and with no real bass. Tribit plays much more serious and is half the price. If you want price comparison, look at the Vifa City, what is possible for similar price which has Aluminum coaxial woofer with silky tweeter...

[@DominikReviews]

Actually both of these sounds bad and they are overpriced better option for willen is tribit stormbox micro 2 which is bassier louder and more balanced overall with not that huge boost in the high better option for emberton is soundcore boost which is cheap and nice sounding speaker

[@sreypovchun663]

This guy is just 😞 awful
