In this video, we compare the Marshall Emberton to the Bose Soundlink Flex and see which one is a better buy. With the Emberton trending at $169 and the Bose Flex at $149 one of them is definitely a better buy.

This is killing me because I really dig the design of that Marshall speaker but Bose does seem to sound a whole lot better. I mean it's a speaker so I probably should go for the better sounding one but man I'll have to be hiding it away from plain sight when not in use whereas Marshall could comfortably sit there on display all day and just look good. First world problems I'm telling you...

I just got the Bose SoundLink Flex from Costco for $109.99 after a week of research. I need it for music to fill a gym while playing competitive volleyball after my old Creative Bluetooth speaker fails to hold a charge anymore and needs to be constantly plugged in. I believe I made the right choice especially with the significant price drop. Rule of life: you can't have everything but if you can have most of what you want then that's pretty good.

Bought the Bose. What got me was this video and your blind test video. I love the sound profile but i still wish the app would let me tweak it more. I threw a party in my house and its more than enough to fill up my living room at around 70% volume and thats enough to have all the sound spectrum shine. 👍

[peterkops]

Flex a clear winner. My brother has the Emblem, I have the Flex and we tested them together as well. By bro conceded the difference and went and bought the Flex. He keeps using the Embleton in his study though. They are both terrific at the end of the day.

Hey Danny I owe you a big thankyou. It was your video which guided me to take the right decision. I went with the Bose Soundlink Flex and witnessed something I have never experienced before. The Bose Soundlink Flex is something phenomenal to my ears. This is the first time I have bought such an expensive speaker. The hype is true. All thanks to you.. Danny! And yeah your shirts are awesome, I tried to buy even that one too but with the importing fees it is costlier than the speaker itself. So I left that idea.

My Bose SoundLink mini (1st generation) is about to die. It has already lasted for nearly 10 years since I got it as a Christmas gift in 2013 so there's nothing I can really complain about it honestly. And yes when I found my mini stopped playing again today I felt like "Okay it's about time to do some research for the next one". And then here we are! I'm exactly considering these two models and I felt so lucky that I found your video here. I can definitely tell that I still prefer the sound from the soundlink flex more than the emberton from your video - so thank you! Your thought of making this video to tell people how good you think the bose one is was abs great!

[Bruningable]

I love my Emberton. And that Bose speaker really seems to be a very nice alternative.

02:10. TIP. Close your eyes when you listen to the sound comparison. I did, and then open your eyes when you think you like one speaker more than the other. Do this as each clip is played, back and forth, open your eyes quickly to see which speaker you like better. And as the clips play, you will notice you have opened your eyes more to one speaker than the other.

I 100% agree with you. I wasn't planning on purchasing any more portable sounds. I heard the demo at Best Buy and it was love at first heard. I didn't even have to ponder if I like the sounds from it or not. It just sounded so good and balanced and clear. And the bass wasn't overwhelming either

[duduv-]

Bose Flex is good for bass but it sounds mono. The Emberton is great because of the sound dispersion. The front of the speaker plays left channel and the back plays right channel. So, there's a better definition and sound dispersion. 2 Bose Flex would be better on Stereo mode. Anyway, I still have an Emberton and happy with this one (and battery life is awesome on the Emberton) !

soundlink mini2 < Marshall Emberton < Flex.
Given the time they were launched, this makes a lot of sense.

[CONEJOMAC]

I love how you introduce yourself. So simple, so informal. So original even

[epicstories]

Surprisingly, no one is pointing out that bose flex bass doesn't get thin on increasing vol to the full where as any other speaker at this range marshal jbl, tends to spund thinner aa the vol increases. Bose is something i can't explain but very very accurate

[keiberperez]

In my opinion, the Bose has more bass but a slightly artificial sound, while the Marshall has a much more natural and balanced sound.

[tessymessy]

Hi from Japan.^^ Your review is really helpful! Got BOSE yesterday.

[lackbeard]

I think I'm going to get the Emberton, just because it has 20hrs battery compared to the Bose 12hrs. And the Emberton has Bluetooth 5.0, whereas the Bose has 4.2

[vitusyu]

thanks for your genuine comments on this. I deflect from Sonos to Bose Flex after watching your comments!

[ctran]

As someone who doesn’t go anywhere anymore—at least not with a need for a speaker—I shouldn’t get this but I am so tempted hahaha

[baconeggs]

bose is more of a bassy tone while the marshall emberton has a lot of hf treble. bose really did surprised me this time 😅

[mr.Silvershow]

I am JBL fan here and Wow impressed by Marshall pureness
