[...] One of the speakers started crackling after less than 4 months of use, mostly listened at half volume and i didn't even use it that often. [...] Loved everything else about it, except for the lack of bass at higher volumes, but then again i only used it on half so w/e.
I had mine arrive today and I love it. It's got quite a premium feel to it - really nice materials and looks amazing with the matte black and gold finish. Sounds incredible as well - defo a bit pricey but you get what you pay for if you ask me.
You're the reason I bought Emberton I. [...] Idk who to ask, how HS series sound different from Emberton? Apart from their power or size or portability, I just love how Emberton sound. But afraid if they sound differently.
I have four Emberton II and have another on the way, As far as I know the Emberton III doesn't have a share facility so am sticking with the product that I know, Building a mini stack of the Emberton IIs gives an awesome sound. Sorry to my neighbours on a Saturday night when I have BBC Radio 6 Music's Funk and Soul show on at full blast. If you are interested the show is available on the BBC Sounds app and look at the shows for Saturday nights.
i bought the marshall emberton II speaker for black friday and the sound quality is absolutely insane i feel like i should not be allowed to listen to the prophecy with THIS good of quality speakers this is going to send me to a psychiatric hospital
I bought a jbl party box 100 well I basically got it for free best speaker I use like 6-8 hours of play time depending on how hard you bang your music and you can charge your phone cons it’s decently big it’s heavy and it will shake you room or car or workspace
[...] It’s very low bzzz but still annoying do all version 1 make it? Thank you!
[...] I bought the thing already for the record. [...] If you add volume via the speaker, the volume on your phone goes up too and vice versa. Maybe I don't understand how bluetooth actually works, but I was hoping for independent volume controls. I don't plan on returning the speaker or anything, but I was thinking I would keep my ringer/playback volume on the phone halfway and push the volume on the speaker a bit higher as a baseline. It feels like the max volume on the speaker is also the max volume on the phone. [...] Am I missing some kind of setting on the speaker via the app? [...]
[...] I use mine for audio books and occassional music. [...]
