This is such a fascinating comparison that few others (if any) will likely do. I was SHOCKED at the 100% volume test how different it is.

[@alanrossreviews]

like chalk and cheese!

[@JaizeDee]

Stockwell II definitely won this comparison. But the Emberton is what I can afford lol. I guess it's all about personal preference, I bought the Emberton as a replacement speaker because I broke my old one. If I were younger, I'd definitely go beyond my means to get the Stockwell II and listen to all the loud songs I used to listen to. I listen more on ambient sounds and frequency music, y'know, mind alignment things lol. Both speakers are awesome as their own. The 20 hours playback is also a plus so I can stay focus on day, and use it for a peaceful sleep at night.

I finally found a good review about Marshall Emberton & Stockwell, with tech data etc.Thanks.

What a great comparison! We would love to see more of such quality videos from you. And I will definitely go for stockwell 2.

[@alanrossreviews]

Thank you 👍

[@HelensHouseAndGarden]

Great review. I agree you need the bass to balance the sound more. The coolest throwaway feature is the sound on the on/off button - it's a nice touch.

I would take the Stockwell 2 all day over the Emberton, as well. I'd even take my 2 boosts over the Emberton and have money to spare. 😝 The Emberton isn't a terrible speaker but for the price and versus the competition it just doesn't hold up for what it offers imho. Outstanding job as always, Alan. 👏👍😁

Great detailed video man, helped me make my decision 🙏🏾 Interesting though at 1:04 you call them Full range drivers on the Stockwell 2, thought maybe it would’ve been considered a “tweeter” because (maybe, but I’m not too sure) most of the frequency range would’ve been coming from the woofer?? Keep it up the great work man!!!

[@alanrossreviews]

Full range as in no crossover and getting the whole frequency range. Of course all drivers have their own roll offs.

[@rafff8288]

Thank you! Great tests

[@Vepris123]

Hello! Thank you for this comparison and that you actually displayed the graphs with dB-freq! What I felt was that with Emberton, I feel like I am being robbed of the mids. I don’t care about the base as much as with the mid and high accuracy. And in that conparison, I feel like I get more nuances out of Stockwell.

[@Vepris123]

I guess the problem is that when googling for best wireless portable speakers, there is a bloat of lazy advertisement pages with vague tests and comparisons, many not even having phisycally tested devices, just compiled claims from manufacturers’ websites. So if I want to buy one, it is all emotional appeal. In this review I heard the actual differences, and meaaurement results. Thanks! And in my region, these speakers are only available in e-shops, not in retail shops, so I cannot go and test them in real life. Just buy and pray that they are good. After this review, I am certain that for me, Stockwell is a more suitable option.

[@alanrossreviews]

the stockwell 2 is the hidden gem from marshal, none of the others i heard have the same magic imho

[@halfcrazyluv1]

I wanted to buy the SW 2 before but heard some reviews that some songs doesn't sound right on it and it lacks volume.

yes if you listen very analytically, but it brings enough to the table for me to be an enjoyable listen just cant party to it.

[@timekeeperg2112]

i care more about sound quality than loudness....who listens to music or anything at full up volume? i dont think ive ever owned any speakers that sound good at full volume.... its definitely about quality and not quantity for me.... so which one wins on quality? i just got my stockwell 2 a day ago...and am having probs with the usb ports going on and off intermittently but it charges fine...its just so annoying the windows sound of it going on and off as though i was unplugging it repeatedly...anyone else have that problem? ive submitted a return claim via amazon...should i get a replacement? is the speaker even defective? i cant find the answers online...took 10 days to get and now im hesitant of getting the emberton 2 which i also want...what to do??? thanks for any help that can be offered here!!! sincerely ,Dan.

@@gus6391 2 motion Booms (1 is solid, but depending on how loud you want to go outside, I recommend pairing 2) W-King D8, W-King D9 or X-10, JBL Extreme 3, JBL Boombox 2 (very hefty and the biggest of them all. Portable, but a big hassle) Sony XB43, Neo Core Wave A4. Now all of these can go pretty loud, but all have different things they excel in. It’s just up to you what your taste is upper base, deep base, mids, treble, big soundstage, narrow soundstage etc.

Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks: Pound for pound world champion: Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price. Still worth a look: My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity. geni.us/soundcoremotionplus £50 champion: Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost Hi End Pick: Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3 Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6: geni.us/onyxstudio6 Best Micro Options: Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro Tribit Stormbox Micxro (clinical): geni.us/tribitstormboxmicro Worth a Look: W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9 The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound. Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be: W-King X10 geni.us/wkingx10 Travel Speakers: Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2 offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does not go very loud JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5 Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little screechy over 80%.
