I like the new Marshall emberton… now personally I do feel that the emberton is a little pricey for a 20 watt speaker but the emberton does have some standout characteristics when compared to the super popular JBL Flip 5 and the Sony XB23. So if you’re looking into getting a small portable speaker and you’re thinking about getting the emberton lets see how it stacks up to these.

[@kimekholm7178]

Looking at the graphs, the Emberton is more accurate, but it doesn't go as low on the base end. Considering the size and battery differences I think the Emberton comes up on top.

[@AaronMarasigan]

just got my emberton! upon initial testing, it sounds a bit distorted/fluttered when set at the 2 maximum volume levels. Is that normal? i mean to compare to like its 80% volume, the sound at max vol. loses quite a significant amount of bass but is indeed very loud.

[@Whowhatwherewhy]

Listening to this on my new Emberton Black and Gold edition. Sounds great, looks classy. Update: several months owning this speaker has made me realize what incredible sounds it is able to achieve. It has a broad sweet spot and wonderful room filling sound. Try placing it a few inches from a wall, turn it backwards or even upside down. Each creates a different spectrum of ear pleasing music. I’ve used my Emberton for everything from of course music, tv, movies, games. Coupled with my new iPad Pro 11”, it’s become my own small but powerful entertainment system. Freaking awesome.

"if sound is your main concern". What does "if" mean if we are talking about speakers?

[@Olliebobalong]

The Sony has a half decent app where you can adjust the sound. In the U.K. at least, I picked my one up for £80. I like how the charging port is actually covered as well. I don’t doubt the quality of the Marshall, and I love JBL speakers, but the sony is good value if you can find one at a good price which is easier than the other two, although that Marshall is going for £110 right now.

JBL Flip 5 and Marshall Emberton both sound really good in real life! But what people need to know is that the Emberton isn’t made for big party’s, but more for small gatherings. You know the cafe vs the club kind of thing. Or poolparty v.s. picknick. Don’t get me wrong the Emberton is still really loud, and it can handle lot of different music styles, but in comparison I found the JBL Flip 5 more direct hitting, more punchy maybe it creates this party vibe, where the Emberton was more smoothly and gave me this festival feeling. I personally like the Marshall Emberton more. What do you think, which is best and why?

[@thisiscuvo]

If I only like dancy music with punchy bass I would definitely go for any of the JBL speakers. The Sony's are more in the middle of everything with a bit lacking bass but perfect mids for vocals. The emberton sounds very bright and I feel like it would be best for accoustic songs.

Sony is a bit muffled but you can adjust it. On the other hand the battery life is not good at all. Marshall has more well round sound perfectly balanced and it looks better indeed but the price throws me off. JBL has more bass and it sits somewhere in between the other 2. I think it is more like a value for money speaker.

[@THEDANRMUSIC]

I don't understand why the author of this video says that the XB23's sound is better. I heard the 3 speakers with the WH-XB900n headphones, and the bass sound of XB23 was not full, lifeless, uninvolved, and the high frequencies were annoying. I heard it again in my studio speakers, and the feeling was the same. For me the best sound was from Marshall, but JBL was also very pleasant. It may be possible to have better Sony sound using the equalizer, but in this video it was the worst, definitely.

[@darkknightrises3875]

In this video, you are right but xb23 bass is better while standing because bass bouncing off the floor
