The Marshall Emberton III Bluetooth speaker sounds as good as it looks. Jack Wallen/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Marshall Emberton III This tiny speaker can produce much louder sound than you might expect (without distortion), and the sound is quite detailed and accurate. The Marshall app doesn't include a custom EQ, which would greatly benefit the Emberton III. Ah, the Marshall sound.

Fifty years ago, on July 15, 1975, three NASA astronauts and two Russian cosmonauts lifted off to meet up in orbit for the first time.
