Marshall is stepping into the Lunar New Year with a fresh take on the Emberton III. Teaming up with Chinese visual artist 野 Dark Question, this portable speaker taps into the Year of the Snake—complete with a nod to the brand’s “Woodsnake 2025” plan. Marshall says the theme was “inspired by legendary music festivals,” channeling that unmistakable Woodstock energy. And it’s not just a hometown celebration: the brand will “hit the road on a global tour, with events taking place across China, as well as in Paris, and New York, where Marshall will connect with local communities to celebrate Lunar New Year.”
This limited run of the Emberton III shows off army olive green and burnt orange tones, with a box inspired by vintage firecracker packaging and old-school rock posters. Underneath the sleek update, it packs everything you’d expect from Marshall: “32+ hours” of playback on a single charge (your mileage may vary), an IP67 rating that blocks out dust and casual splashes, built-in microphones for calls, and low-energy Bluetooth LE for an extended battery life. Consider it a little dose of freedom to go wherever the holiday season (and beyond) might take you.
The brand has been on a roll this past year with releases like the Major IV headphones, but for 2025, it’s all about celebrating Lunar New Year in a big way. The Marshall Emberton III “Lunar New Year Edition 2025” is out now at £179.99 GBP / $189.99 USD / €199.99 EUR.
