Short answer: the Marshall Emberton II if sound quality matters most, the Ortizan X10 if price matters most, though neither ranks well in its class. The Marshall Emberton II ranks #127 of 179 medium speakers, rated 2.7/5, at $151.99. The Ortizan X10 ranks #162, rated 2.2/5, at $29.97, $122.02 cheaper. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 179 medium speakers; for better sound, the EarFun Uboom L ranks #2 at $49.79.
The Marshall Emberton II is the better-sounding option. A tough waterproof speaker with Marshall styling, a very long battery and quick charging. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. The tradeoff: Strange unnatural echo-like sound coloration, bass not as deep as competitors.
The case for the Ortizan X10: A cheap waterproof speaker with colorful LED lighting, a long rated battery and stereo pairing. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Marshall Emberton II lacks. The catch: Not much bass, very rolled off treble.
Buy the Marshall Emberton II if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Ortizan X10 if the price matters more than sound quality.
