Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love the JBL Essential encore Karaoke – ! The sound quality is incredible, with clear highs and deep bass that really makes every song shine. It’s so easy to set up and the microphone works flawlessly. The battery lasts long enough for hours of singing fun, and the design is stylish and compact. Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or just a fun night at home. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves music and karaoke!

Excellent sound very tough and durable, I can take this anywhere in any environment…

Great detailed sound- we can hear parts of the music recordings that we didn’t notice before! Amazingly compact and easy to use- we’re super happy with it!

Bought this as a house warming present for family and let me tell you we cannot love it enough!! The sound is incredible we move it around from kitchen, living room, backyard. We use it for games honestly we love the jbl brand we have smaller speakers for years and work great sounds great!

Excellent compact and powerful speaker! I take it with me every party. Also I have microphones so it the best portable karaoke system

I bought this as a gift for my mother who is hard of hearing. She absolutely adores it. She described wanting to feel the music in her body and since she's received her speaker, she's said she can't be without it. It was also on sale at the time I bought it. I was about the same price as the much smaller and less powerful Bose speakers at the time and completely beats it out.

We bought this unit to replace one that we thought had broken. We had it stored in our garage and it turned out. A mouse had made a nest in it and chewed one of the wires. A quick call to JBL and a purchase of the wires fixed the original so now we have a set to play in stereo.

I bought this to replace a Sonos Play 5 that has a failed wi-fi card. While the Play 5 was certainly more tonally accurate, the Partybox is great at what it does - play loud with punchy bass! This is not a back pack speaker at over a cubic foot in size, but it is easily portable to the garage, workshop and back in the house. I have not tested battery life but the volume is reduced when unplugged. I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a portable speaker that goes loud and low.

Sound is very nice and light to carry any where. Easy charging

I absolutely love my speaker the lights the bass the volume

Exactly what I needed for a fun time by the pool and on vacation. It is splash proof so no need to worry about kids jumping in the pool. Highly recommend great sound quality and the base out does its self for such a small speaker and even better when you hook it to the partybox app and combine your other party box speakers!

Amazing speaker i absolutly love it, the bass is powerfull wich was what i was looking for, it vibrates my walls wich can be felt from the next door room, only con is the battery life, this speaker is perfect

Ive been wanting a JBL speaker for a while but wasnt ready to shell out $400 for one. Got this on sale for $229 and am very satisfied with it. Great bass and clear sound. Took it to the beach and you could hear everything easily over the sound of crashing waves. I also like that its not quite as bulky as some of the larger models so it fits the "portable speaker" classification more appropriately in my opinion. I like one of the bass boost options but not the other. The app makes it easy to customize the EQ and color options.

This speaker has great sound quality and I love the bass boost! Can take it anywhere and the lights are super cool!

The JBL speaker is small in size but has a very good sound. You can easily carry it to the park or lake and enjoy the great sound.

This speaker is very easy to transport and it is loud and perfect for the beach or anywhere. We love it!
