Marshall launches Emberton II and Willen portable speakers

Iconic speaker and audio brand Marshall released two portable speakers: the Emberton II and the Willen.

  1. The Emberton II is the brand’s newest version of the Emberton, the company’s bestselling speaker ever, and offers 30 hours of playtime on a single charge — that’s a 50% increase in playtime over its predecessor.
  2. The brand new Willen is now Marshall’s smallest speaker — it can play for 15 or more hours on a single charge and includes a built-in microphone for taking phone calls.

Both speakers are PVC-free, are made with recycled plastic from used electronics (making up 50% of the Emberton II and 60% of the Willen) and carry an IP67 dust- and water-resistance rating. For more speaker coverage, check out these Select-recommended portable speakers.

Mario Badescu releases Coconut Body Oil and Soap

Skin care brand Mario Badescu expanded their Coconut line with the launch of Coconut Body Oil and Coconut Body Soap. The body oil is a spray-on mist that also contains argan oil and shea butter and is formulated with coconut fruit extract and jojoba seed oil — the body wash “lathers up into a light, frothy foam” and helps hydrate and soften skin, the brand says. Mario Badescu makes some of our favorite skin care products for acne-prone skin and acne treatments for teens.
