Marshall, the iconic audio brand, has unveiled exciting updates to its popular portable speakers, Emberton III and Willen II. These new models offer enhanced sound quality, longer battery life, and cutting-edge technology, making them perfect for music lovers on the go. Both speakers are designed to deliver powerful 360° sound, with Emberton III offering 32+ hours of battery life and a rugged, dust- and waterproof design, while the compact Willen II provides 17+ hours of playtime and a similarly durable build.
Cutting-edge technology and Iconic Design
Emberton III and Willen II both come equipped with the latest Bluetooth LE Audio technology. This will soon be available through an over-the-air update via the Marshall Bluetooth app. This technology includes Auracast™, a feature that allows users to broadcast music to multiple speakers simultaneously, turning each speaker into a source device. This means users can sync audio across several Emberton III and Willen II units for a seamless listening experience.
Hanna Wallner, Product Manager at Marshall – “It’s been a pleasure to see this generational update come to life. As always, with our iconic design and Marshall sound in focus, we’ve created something unique in the portable speaker category. On the outside of the speaker, the focus has been on improved material choices and usability, but the biggest update is on the inside. Both these products come ready for the next Bluetooth technology LE Audio, enabling Auracast™*. They also continue to deliver surprisingly heavy sound for the size, especially Willen II.”
