Tribit StormBox 2
Score: 78/100
Marshall Emberton III
Score: 87/100Rankings
The Marshall Emberton III combines 360° True Stereophonic sound, IP67 durability and over 32 hours of battery life in a compact, vintage-styled design. Its limited EQ presets and lack of deep sub-bass keep it from matching larger powerhouses. Suited for users who value balanced sound, ruggedness and long endurance in a stylish package.
The Tribit StormBox Pro offers 40 W of 360° sound, IP67 protection and up to 24 hours of playback plus power-bank capability. It uses an older Bluetooth 5.0 version and lacks app control, making it slightly less future-proof. Suited for outdoor enthusiasts who value portability and durability.

Professional reviewers view the StormBox Pro as a well-balanced portable speaker that combines strong bass, 360° coverage, and rugged durability, though they wish it offered an auxiliary input and a more current Bluetooth version.
Consumers generally praise the long battery life, waterproof construction, and the convenience of the built-in power bank, while recurring concerns focus on its weight and the missing driver detail information.
Professional reviewers consider the Emberton III a top-small Bluetooth speaker, lauding its 32+ hour battery, authentic Marshall tone, and phenomenal 360° audio while noting the limited EQ presets and lack of smart features as the main drawbacks. They view it as a stylish, rugged option that outperforms many rivals in sound balance and endurance, though not a mandatory upgrade for owners of the previous Emberton.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the Emberton III for its rich, clear sound, impressive bass for its size, premium build quality, and marathon-long battery life, often saying it competes head-to-head with higher-priced options. The most common complaints revolve around the restricted EQ presets and a bass response that isn't as deep as larger speakers.
