    Easy to set up, adjustable bass, just the right size for the small room it’s in. Watching movies at home is more theatre-like!

    Cute speaker with good sound but the charge does not last long. This speaker is best to use where you can plug it up when gets low, not best for use at a park or beach. The sound is good and you can control it from the app on your phone.

      We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Encore Essential. We're always looking for ways to improve. It has a 6-hour battery life; however, it will depend on the genre and volume settings. Playing at max volume all the time will drain the battery faster. If you have any questions or concerns about your device, please contact our customer support. JBL

    I’ve owned a few smaller JBL speakers prior to this that were excellent speakers. I decided to upgrade to this one. Hands down the best speaker I’ve ever heard personally. Absolutely worth the $$ will be purchasing another one.
