Stockwell II definitely won this comparison. But the Emberton is what I can afford lol. I guess it's all about personal preference, I bought the Emberton as a replacement speaker because I broke my old one. If I were younger, I'd definitely go beyond my means to get the Stockwell II and listen to all the loud songs I used to listen to. I listen more on ambient sounds and frequency music, y'know, mind alignment things lol. Both speakers are awesome as their own. The 20 hours playback is also a plus so I can stay focus on day, and use it for a peaceful sleep at night.
Great review. I agree you need the bass to balance the sound more. The coolest throwaway feature is the sound on the on/off button - it's a nice touch.

Great detailed video man, helped me make my decision 🙏🏾 Interesting though at 1:04 you call them Full range drivers on the Stockwell 2, thought maybe it would’ve been considered a “tweeter” because (maybe, but I’m not too sure) most of the frequency range would’ve been coming from the woofer?? Keep it up the great work man!!!

Hi Alan - thank you for the great upload!! Wondering if you have any future plans to review the ION Audio Total PA Glow Max, or if you have any thoughts on it? It has a 3 band Equalizer & am curious to know if you have any advice on best custom settings for a 3 band EQ for a larger speaker like this. Cheers!
Hello! Thank you for this comparison and that you actually displayed the graphs with dB-freq! What I felt was that with Emberton, I feel like I am being robbed of the mids. I don’t care about the base as much as with the mid and high accuracy. And in that conparison, I feel like I get more nuances out of Stockwell.
I guess the problem is that when googling for best wireless portable speakers, there is a bloat of lazy advertisement pages with vague tests and comparisons, many not even having phisycally tested devices, just compiled claims from manufacturers’ websites. So if I want to buy one, it is all emotional appeal. In this review I heard the actual differences, and meaaurement results. Thanks! And in my region, these speakers are only available in e-shops, not in retail shops, so I cannot go and test them in real life. Just buy and pray that they are good. After this review, I am certain that for me, Stockwell is a more suitable option.
I would take the Stockwell 2 all day over the Emberton, as well. I'd even take my 2 boosts over the Emberton and have money to spare. 😝 The Emberton isn't a terrible speaker but for the price and versus the competition it just doesn't hold up for what it offers imho. Outstanding job as always, Alan. 👏👍😁
i care more about sound quality than loudness....who listens to music or anything at full up volume? i dont think ive ever owned any speakers that sound good at full volume.... its definitely about quality and not quantity for me.... so which one wins on quality? i just got my stockwell 2 a day ago...and am having probs with the usb ports going on and off intermittently but it charges fine...its just so annoying the windows sound of it going on and off as though i was unplugging it repeatedly...anyone else have that problem? ive submitted a return claim via amazon...should i get a replacement? is the speaker even defective? i cant find the answers online...took 10 days to get and now im hesitant of getting the emberton 2 which i also want...what to do??? thanks for any help that can be offered here!!! sincerely ,Dan.
thanks for your videos they really helpead me to have a better view of the speakers, what are your thoughts about the VIFA OSLO, could you do a comparison of the marshall stockwell2 and the OSLO, saying hello from Mexico .
Great video thanks 😋 i properly wont react to your videos from tomorrow till 8-8 as im on holiday then😎 will have to watch a bunch of video's i guess after🤔 but you should also take a break!
Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks: Pound for pound world champion: Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price. Still worth a look: My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity. geni.us/soundcoremotionplus £50 champion: Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost Hi End Pick: Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3 Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6: geni.us/onyxstudio6 Best Micro Options: Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro Tribit Stormbox Micxro (clinical): geni.us/tribitstormboxmicro Worth a Look: W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9 The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound. Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be: W-King X10 geni.us/wkingx10 Travel Speakers: Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2 offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does not go very loud JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5 Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little screechy over 80%.
What is the best Speaker with AC Input up to 120€?! The battery life of my Soundcore Motion Plus is terrible when I'm at Work.At 80-90% loudness i maybe get only 1,5 hours and i need it this loud becaus of all of the Machines around me
Hello. Do you think two jbl Charge 5 is a better option vs two weiking D8? in term of overall bass, sound quality, stereo image, naturalness? For use in pair for stereo. I could get an instant refund from the store for weiking d8 and i wonder its a better option 2 jbl charge 5. (i bought a pair of weiking d 8 at 90 euros, and the cheapest jbl charge 5 i found is 120euros per piece).Does it worth to do that? thank you.
may i know the reason why the bass is set to 8 while 3 for the treble? i have the stockwell 2 btw , having the hard time setting for the treble and bass
@@alanrossreviews thanks man. I was planning for Stockwell too. But thought it was a bit old. Also compared to Bose soundlink flex, B&O BeoSound play and Stockwell 2, would you still recommend it?. I am getting all of these in similar range. Or would you recommend something else under 150 bucks. I am lookinh for a good full sounding portable Bluetooth speaker. Thanks again
@@alanrossreviews Thanks Alan. The only deal I could find was on the stockwell and that's why I was tempted to buy it. Tho if you have any suggestions, that would be great. PS: Really enjoy your detailed reviews :)

@@gus6391 2 motion Booms (1 is solid, but depending on how loud you want to go outside, I recommend pairing 2) W-King D8, W-King D9 or X-10, JBL Extreme 3, JBL Boombox 2 (very hefty and the biggest of them all. Portable, but a big hassle) Sony XB43, Neo Core Wave A4. Now all of these can go pretty loud, but all have different things they excel in. It’s just up to you what your taste is upper base, deep base, mids, treble, big soundstage, narrow soundstage etc.
Hi. Please tell me..... for stereo image, detail, clarity, rich sound, which portable speakers you recomand? For indoor use, i have 2 Wking D8 and sounds good, is something better than this? my budget is 350-400$. I want hi-fi flavor, emotional listening, feeling😊
It worries me that you describe the holy grail of hifi but are happy with the d8. Spending more will either gain massive bass or a more hifi listen, i question which would suit you more.
Love the wig… 😜 I’m not so sure about these speakers as I listen at moderate volumes not really that low… hmmm… 🤔 Did you see Floss reviewing the Motion+? 🤣
Yes, Floss is a legend. He's just got round to agreeing with us lot that the motion plus is a fantastic speaker for the cash. Wait till he hears the Boom. His complaint of lack of bass is totally compounded with his custom EQ curve pushing the high bass and not the lower frequencies. To say that the flip 5 beats it is folly!
@@TheBootruss I love the Motion+ when mine works, but the Boom brings the bass… maybe not as much as my Exos 9…. But for something portable it’s great! 😊
@@alanrossreviews respect your opinion, but I don’t like the muffled sound, and again, the buttons missing on the stockwell made me stick with the Emberton
@@alanrossreviews I did have an emberton the max volume is like the most annoying thing.Most of the tracks seems very loud without any base, disappointed with emberton.

the stockwell 2 is the hidden gem from marshal, none of the others i heard have the same magic imho
I wanted to buy the SW 2 before but heard some reviews that some songs doesn't sound right on it and it lacks volume.

Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks:
Pound for pound world champion:
Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom
Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price.
Still worth a look:
My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost
Hi End Pick:
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3
Great for portable low deep kick:
Onyx Studio 6: geni.us/onyxstudio6
Best Micro Options:
Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
Tribit Stormbox Micxro (clinical): geni.us/tribitstormboxmicro
Worth a Look:
W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9
The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound.
Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be:
W-King X10 geni.us/wkingx10
Travel Speakers:
Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2
offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does not go very loud
JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5
Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little screechy over 80%.
