No upheaval for this second version of Marshall’s Emberton. If the manufacturer’s adventurous portable speaker inherits a few improvements which slightly enrich the user experience, it is still far from truly surpassing its predecessor… and rising to the podium of the very best portable speakers. To do this, it would have been necessary to refine its sound rendering by making it softer, more natural and more precise.

For a first step into the world of portable Bluetooth speakers, Yamaha has created a correct copy with this WS-B1A. Adventurer, resistant and enduring, she knows how to be musical, provided you don’t push her to her limits and choose her listening position carefully. Too bad it’s so lacking in features.
