I absolutely loved reviewing this Marshall Bluetooth speaker, and I’d buy it in a flash at this early Black Friday price

There’s a really good Black Friday deal on a really good Bluetooth speaker right now – and I know it’s a good speaker because I’m the person who reviewed it for TechRadar. The Marshall Emberton III Bluetooth speaker is currently £99 on Amazon UK, down from its recommended price of £149.

This is one of the smallest portable speakers that Marshall makes, but it’s perfectly capable of being a hooligan if you want it to be: it has Marshall’s Dynamic Loudness, which adjusts the overall sound so it’s consistent across the volume range – meaning bass doesn’t disappear when you turn it down a bit, and it resists harshness as you turn it up. I thought it was particularly good for artists like REM, whose Out of Time and Automatic For The People sounded fantastic on it.

In my Marshall Emberton III review I said that to my ears, it’s a speaker best suited to bedroom, kitchen or study listening and for taking outside on nice days. It’s not a party monster – Marshall makes bigger, louder speakers if that’s what you need – as much as it’s a pocket rocket, with a surprisingly big sound from its compact case. At full price I rated it four stars; with a third knocked off the RRP I think it’s an even better buy.
