    Great sound, base and appearance. The app makes it easy to work the LED and base features. Battery life could be better, but overall its perfect!

    This is a very good speaker, it has a loud and clear sound, it is a very good size, it is ideal for easy transport because it is not heavy so it makes it much easier to transport, I highly recommend it and I would buy it again, this is the second one I buy.

    “Perfect speaker for the beach or my home gym. The sound is loud, clear, and the bass really kicks. The light show is a fun bonus. Battery life could be a little longer, but overall it’s super portable and exactly what I was looking for.”

    So much sound in this compact portable speaker. I like base and this did not disappoint. Charge it up and go! It gave us movie theater vibes during our outdoor movie night.

    It's a really nice speaker and it sounds amazing, the bass is very good and I love its little size, making it portable. The battery doesn't last too long though, I usually get 4-5hrs of use If I remember correctly, still very solid pick.

    I bought this speaker for a party and was blown away by how loud it is. I love having the ability to change up the power of the bass. I wish the battery life was a little bitter but it's not terrible. You can plug it in and use it while it charges so you don't have to worry about it powering down in the middle of a party/gathering.

    JBL encore speaker review

    I am a tech nut and one of the things I love is Bluetooth speakers! I purchased the JBL party box 120 and I really like it but I wanted something that sounded pretty much as good but was much more compact and the encore fit the bill. For such a small easily transportable speaker it sounds awesome! The base is very deep and rich after trying other Bluetooth speakers that were rated on YouTube that said they had such great deep base they sucked next to the encore.

    The best sound for the side you can get. Beautiful powerful sound speaker and the light is so wonderful. My only complain is the I wish the battery will last longer. Also you can use any microphone on this speaker by just plugging in the back or a wireless module. It come with the control for the microphone in the back and you can lower or make the speaker sound louder. This speaker is by far my favorite speaker nothing replace JBL value.

    Great Versatile Portable Speaker

    Wow. Just wow. This speaker blows me away every time on the outdoor patio. Really blow your mind and pair two of them. The sound is incredibly good for a portable speaker, bass fantastic and loud enough to fill a very large outdoor area. Wireless pairing is simple, just press a button on each speaker. The light show is cool and can be modified or turned off. The app provides all the functionality you need and necessary as this model does not have many buttons on it. Works great from my iPhone (and remote control with Apple Watch is awesome) as a streaming source. Also test this as an amp for my indoor karaoke system. The microphone input (and has an aux in) attach to the mixer. Really good amp for karaoke microphones. Highly recommended product!

    Best sounding compact speaker

    So to begin, I have been a mobile DJ for over 2 decades. I do use top of the line professional audio speakers when doing that job so I’ve been looking for something portable enough to throw in my car during my off time and something that sounded great at the same time while at the beach or elsewhere. This speaker is by far the best that i have heard from previous speakers ive purchased and ultimately returned. A few of those speakers being big brand name speakers and at a higher cost. The features you have at the palm of your hand for this speaker are amazing. The lows are booming and highs are perfect. This little tank will be all you need for a back yard BBQ or just a day at the beach. I couldnt have been more happy with this JBL Partybox. Get you one or maybe two!

    It has a great sound to it and it’s just the right size to be portable. Bass is great! Tried many portable speakers before finding this one.

    The JBL Partybox Encore Essential is an amazing value, its a great size for easy carry and travel and makes exceptional sound. It sounds good when turned up all the way and doesn't distort, has an amazing app to go with it and can be paired with another for stereo sound.

    I LOVE this party speaker! It's lightweight, fancy lights, easy to connect to bluetooth, and the sound is AMAZING!!! I played it at an outdoor gathering and still didn't have to turn it up to full volume. I'd most definitely recommend.
