    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.

    The sound quality is on another level even. The mics work great. I fully recommend this speaker and mics. I have a large living room area about 1200sq and playing music more that 50% volume when bass is engaged get a bit too loud. Backyard party for like 30 would work well with the mic and speakers. Fully recommend and would buy again. FYI when fully charged the mics and speaker last the whole evening into the very late night.

    This is the ultimate midsize party must have. You can charge it up and carry it anywhere. It’s loud enough for a small or medium party.

    Great sound and great possibilities when paired to another PartyBox. We pair both speakers with the TV and when using them for music we are able to move the Encore Essential 2 to another room while paired and listen to music throughout the house.
