When it comes to the Marshall brand, we certainly think of the iconic sound that hits like rock ‘n’ roll on steroids, and of a company that doesn’t just make quality audio devices but creates a true cult. So, in honor of the upcoming Lunar New Year, Marshall has continued this tradition by releasing a special edition of its popular Emberton III portable speaker. But this isn’t just any speaker – it’s a true cultural and visual statement.

In this version, Marshall decided to look at its legendary Emberton III model through the lens of the traditional Chinese zodiac. The speaker features a design that reflects the style of the upcoming Year of the Snake. The artwork on the packaging and the color scheme in army olive green and burnt orange evoke a blend of military aesthetics and psychedelia, with references to vintage firecrackers and rock art adding a unique charm to this visual chaos.

Of course, this isn’t just a trendy accessory. Emberton III continues to deliver the sound that has won over Marshall fans worldwide. Plus, its features are perfect for music lovers who want to take their tracks anywhere without worrying that their favorite device will fail at the most unexpected times.

Marshall has kept all the features that made Emberton III popular. There’s 32+ hours of playtime on a single charge (battery life may vary depending on usage), real stereo sound that’s powerful and clear even if you’re not sitting in a recording studio. Plus, the speaker is dust, dirt, and water-resistant with an IP67 rating, so you don’t have to worry if you’re caught in the rain or hanging out on the beach.

Built-in microphones allow you to take calls, while Bluetooth LE ensures low energy consumption, so you can enjoy music even longer.

Interestingly, the special edition Emberton III is part of a larger campaign Marshall calls "Woodsnake 2025." This event blends the Lunar New Year culture with the legacy of legendary music festivals – namely, Woodstock. The company plans to organize a global tour, including stops in China, Paris, and New York, where the brand will engage with local communities to celebrate Lunar New Year around the world.

The price for the special edition Marshall Emberton III "Lunar New Year Edition 2025" is £179.99 GBP / $189.99 USD / €199.99 EUR, and for this price, you get not just great sound but also a piece of Lunar New Year aesthetic. This isn’t just a speaker – it’s a symbol of an era that will live with you for a long time, providing music, style, and atmosphere at every step.

So, if you want to add some rock and Chinese culture to your life, it’s time to add the Emberton III "Lunar New Year Edition 2025" to your collection. Because, in the end, no celebration is complete without the right music, and Marshall knows how to make that moment truly unforgettable.
