Short answer: the Marshall Emberton II on measured sound quality, the TOZO PA2 on price, though neither ranks well in its class. The Marshall Emberton II ranks #129 of 182 medium speakers, rated 2.7/5, at $151.99. The TOZO PA2 ranks #145, rated 2.5/5, at $29.99, $122 cheaper. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 182 medium speakers; for better sound, the EarFun Uboom L ranks #2 at $49.79.
The case for the Marshall Emberton II: A tough waterproof speaker with Marshall styling, a very long battery and quick charging. The tradeoff: Strange unnatural echo-like sound coloration, bass not as deep as competitors.
The TOZO PA2 is the lighter choice. A cheap, fully waterproof stereo speaker with a fabric wrapped build, a long battery and app EQ presets. At 1.2 lbs (540 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Marshall Emberton II at 1.5 lbs (700 g). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Marshall Emberton II lacks. The tradeoff: Quite a bit of bass distortion thudding as you turn the volume up.
Buy the Marshall Emberton II if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the TOZO PA2 if the price matters more than sound quality.
