We really liked the powerful and well-balanced sound signature of the Marshall Stanmore III speaker. This speaker has a wide soundstage and very good separation between the left and right stereo channels, allowing you to pick up details in the music with good accuracy. The speaker delivers a deep and resonant bass, clear and sparkling highs, and a well-defined midrange.

It has a frequency response of 50-20,000 Hz and a 4” speaker driver for crystal clear highs and vocals. While the Acton III is smaller than the Stanmore III speaker and has a slightly lower volume output at 60W RMS, the Acton III is still an excellent speaker that delivers really good sound performance in a compact size.

We were very impressed by how clear the Acton III speaker sounded despite its small size. The sound is clear and detailed and the speaker delivers well-balanced bass and treble ranges. Vocal performances have plenty of timbre and sparkle, and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to Dusty Springfield’s “The Look of Love” on the Acton III. The speaker has a surprising amount of bass that has plenty of depth and punch, and the speaker also comes equipped with a bass reflex port to enhance the lower frequency ranges and sub-bass notes. The Acton 3 is also equipped with a Dynamic Loudness feature which adjusts the equalizer as you increase the volume, ensuring that the sound remains consistent and distortion-free.

#3 Best Portable: Marshall Emberton III

Marshall Emberton III Speaker

The Marshall Emberton III is Marshall’s latest portable speaker released in September 2024 and is designed to replace the current Emberton II speaker. Like the Emberton II speaker, the Emberton III is designed to deliver signature Marshall sound signature with dynamic loudness and good tonal balance for crisp highs and good bass performance. Compared to the Emberton II speaker, the Emberton III speaker does come with several spec improvements such as Bluetooth 5.3 and LE codec which improves lip-sync when watching videos, and also supports true stereophonic sound which provides a nice stereo sound effect with better spatial imaging. The Emberton III also comes with an upgraded battery that provides up to 32 hours of playtime on a single charge, which is a noticeable improvement over the Emberton II’s 20 hours of playtime. This speaker is also IP67 waterproof and dustproof which means that you can take it anywhere outdoors or submerge it underwater to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes. One improvement that the Emberton III has over the Emberton II speaker is that it comes with a built-in microphone which allows you to take hands free calls on the go.

Compared with the Marshall Emberton II speaker, we felt that the Emberton III’s sound performance is slightly warmer and more bass-leaning than the Emberton II. The Emberton III does not have the same crisp and bright highs that the Emberton II has, but is slightly improved in the lower-end bass response. Both the Emberton II and the Emberton III deliver 20 watts of sound performance and have roughly the same volume output power; we did not hear any difference in volume between the Emberton III and the Emberton II in terms of volume. One thing to note is that the Emberton III does not have the same level of brightness and crisp highs that the Emberton II has; this may make vocal performances sound “duller” and less engaging, although those who prefer the Emberton III’s warmer sound signature may like the speaker for EDM and hip-hop music genres. With that said, we were quite surprised that the Emberton II speaker sounded really good at a fraction of the cost and the Emberton III did not really improve on the overall sound performance of the Emberton II speaker; in fact, one might say that the Emberton II sounds better because it has crisper highs.

The Emberton III speaker makes up for the sound performance when it comes to the latest tech specifications. The Emberton III speaker uses the newer Bluetooth 5.3 version with LE which improves lip-syncing especially when watching videos with the speaker. The front and rear speaker also has the wide stereo sound effect and makes the sound feel richer and wider with decent separation. This speaker also sees improvements in terms of battery life (32 hours on a single charge vs 20 hours on the Emberton II). Like the Marshall Emberton II, the Emberton III speaker is also IP67 waterproof and dustproof, and now comes with a built-in microphone for you to take hands free calls. Design wise, the Emberton III looks pretty much the same as the Emberton II with its leatherette exterior and signature Marshall logo at the front of the speaker.

The Verdict? The Marshall Emberton III is one of the best Marshall speakers that delivers several improvements over the Emberton II speaker, including longer battery life and a built-in microphone and Bluetooth 5.3 support. The Emberton III retains Marshall’s signature sound with dynamic loudness that makes music performances sound more realistic, and also features the true stereophonic multi-directional sound from Marshall that produces a much wider sound signature. Having said that, the Emberton III’s sound performance is roughly similar to the Emberton II in terms of loudness, and sounds slightly warmer with reduced crispness in the highs and with a more rounded lower-end bass response as a trade-off. Both the Emberton II and the Emberton III delivers 20 watts of sound performance, and the Emberton III isn’t any much louder than the Emberton II speaker when compared side by side. If you already have the Emberton II speaker, the Emberton III might not be worth the upgrade, but otherwise it’s the latest portable Marshall speaker that you should consider getting for the latest specs upgrade.
