Most Black Friday deals launched earlier in the week as retailers started their sales events on Monday, but a few exceptions remain exclusive to the actual Friday itself. The Marshall Emberton II is one of these holdout deals, dropping to a new all-time low since Friday morning that wasn’t available during the preliminary week: This iconic portable speaker now costs $89 on Amazon during Black Friday, down from $179, and hits a record-low 50% discount that makes premium Marshall audio accessible.
Real stereophonic sound
The proprietary True Stereophonic technology is very different from basic stereo setups because it projects sound in multiple directions and gets rid of the narrow sweet spot that comes with regular left-right channel separation. Two amplifiers and drivers work together to make sound fields that spread out in all directions instead of just forward like regular speakers which need to be positioned just right.
No matter where you are in relation to the speaker—front, side, or back—you get the same sound quality. This means you don’t have to keep moving around like you do with regular Bluetooth speakers which can be annoying at parties.
Instead of the bass-heavy profiles that are popular in consumer Bluetooth speakers, the Marshall signature sound gives you rich, clear, and loud audio that honors the brand’s 60-year history of making amplifiers. The balanced frequency response plays music the way the artists intended by tuning it so that the bass and treble don’t stand out too much to hide bad drivers.
The battery lasts for more than 30 hours on a single charge which is enough for a whole weekend of camping, a multi-day festival or a week-long vacation without needing charging infrastructure that limits where you can take the speakers. Beach days, park hangouts, and backyard barbecues can all go on without the battery dying in the middle of the event, which stops the fun and makes you rent a generator or find an outlet nearby.
The IP67 rating for dust and water resistance means that the device can be completely submerged for up to 30 minutes, so you can use it by the pool, at the beach, or in the rain without worrying about damaging your electronics. Sand, dirt, and dust won’t get inside when you’re camping or working on a construction site, and spills or sudden rain showers won’t ruin the investment.
The Marshall look, which includes a black and brass color scheme, an iconic script logo, and a grille inspired by guitar amps, makes these speakers look better than any other generic speakers. Instead of just being black cylinders that people don’t know about, the design becomes a conversation starter that people notice and talk about.
The record-low Black Friday price of $89 is much lower than the usual price of $179 and this deal gives you access to legendary Marshall engineering at prices that have never been seen before.
