I love this speaker so much, I bought 2 for my daughter’s event company and may get 2 more. I bought another one for my son to take to college and then sold a friend on getting a pair for her yoga studio. They are huge sound in a small package, very simple to use, pair wonderfully and sound terrific. They sound just as good outdoors as they do indoors. They are worth every penny, especially if you catch them on sale!

I’m very happy with the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2. The sound quality is excellent, the bass is powerful, and the speaker gets loud enough for parties and gatherings. It’s easy to use, portable, and the design looks great. Overall, it’s a great speaker for the price and I would definitely recommend it

After nine years, my Bose finally gave out. It still sounded great, but it was time for an upgrade. Music is a must in my home.I always have it playing in the background, so I needed something powerful enough to fill the whole house, whether I’m entertaining or just cleaning up. This JBL speaker absolutely delivered. The sound is clear, rich, and loud enough to carry throughout my entire home without distortion. I love how lightweight it is, and pairing it with the companion speaker I bought for downstairs was incredibly easy. Having synced music on both levels has been a game changer. I’m not personally big on the light display feature, but I love that you have the option to turn it off. And if I ever want that party vibe, it’s there. It’s a great feature without being something you’re forced to use. Overall, excellent sound quality, easy setup, and exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with this purchase.

When i first play music with this I was blown away of how much sound is coming out of this! At first I was debating if I should go with this or get the Boombox 4 and I'm glad I went with this because this has more features and surprising it's about the similar price as the xtreme 3 which is a good deal. I enjoy playing the partybox encore in my room and backyard. One minor problem is the the Speaker has to be in complete shade in mid-day to protect from the Sun. It's unfortunate that the Microphones are sold separately. And also I waited to get this over the first generation because I heard that the first generation the battery only had 6 hours I like how JBL upgraded this to 15 hours! Overall it's an impressive Speaker for the Size!

This is my first time buying a JBL sound system, and I have to say I’m blown away; it’s the best sound system I’ve ever owned. The quality of the highs and lows is incredible, with absolutely no distortion even at maximum volume. I’m thrilled with it and plan to buy another one as soon as I can.

Compact speaker with powerful output and balanced audio. Bass is strong for the size, mids and highs are clear, and Bluetooth pairing is fast and stable. Solid build quality, good battery life, and the LED ring is a nice functional/visual touch. Excellent performance for a portable speaker.

• Can't last an entire 8 hours on 70 percent volume, will need around a 30 minute charge to get you through those 8 hours. • Great lows, good mids, and really high highs • Love the RGB, one small annoyance is that the color settings don't save, so you have to manually change it each time you turn the speaker on • EQ settings do save, thankfully (7 band EQ) • Compared to the UE Hyperboom, they both have their drawbacks. UE lacks mids and the JBL can be harsh at times with the highs. JBL is better for quieter tracks

I’m into hifi audio and was amazed by this partybox. Had a gender reveal party at a clubhouse and used it and provided good sound for everyone.
