Funny enough, I bought my Marshall Emberton 2 speaker from an airport on my way back from a trip. I only picked it up because I got $50 off, but it’s ended up being my best Bluetooth speaker investment in years. Fortunately for everyone else, that same offer is available for everyone during this Fourth of July Amazon sale. The Marshall Bluetooth speaker is currently available for $120, down from $170. It’s an excellent deal for the quality.

The Marshall Emberton 2 has been my go-to recommendation for a portable Bluetooth speaker because I’ve used it almost every day since November 2022. I use it in my room and sometimes carry it with me for day trips. Plus, it’s a great bathroom speaker (I like good music in my bathroom), thanks to the IP67-rated design, which makes it dust- and water-resistant. 

I love Emberton 2’s design and sound. It looks gorgeous in the black and brass color option. You get one primary button at the top in a gold accent that is used for power and playback control. There’s a second small Bluetooth pairing button camouflaged in the body. It's loud and sounds balanced, with clear vocals and controlled bass.

The Marshall Emberton 2 is my pick for best value portable Bluetooth speaker during this Fourth of July sale. It sounds amazing, offers a 30-hour battery life, is small enough to be carried on day trips, and looks sleek. I've been using it constantly for the past year and it is still going strong.
