This speaker is one of the best speakers I ever had if you want sound a quality and very portable to take to anywhere go for this speaker you won’t regret it

Sounds wonderful, sounds quite loud indoors, beautiful bass. Best buy / Suena maravilloso, suena bastante fuerte en interiores, unos bajos hermosos. La mejor compra

Very good! The sound is really in good quality. Not to heavy to lift if you want to move it to another location very easy to use its functionality

Excellent for patio and outdoors. Easy connection to your phone and although not required, you can also download application to manage much more (e.g. lights and custom sound). Love it!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This product does everything it is supposed to do. It is portable, has good sound and the light effects are cool. The price was a bit higher on Best Buy than on Amazon, but not by much and I had a gift certificate.

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!

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!

Great speaker for outside and travel sports. This speaker is loud and compact enough to carry without issue

This speakers has great bass. The sound overall is awesome. The battery life is not great but I keep it plugged in so it’s not an issue. Overall great speaker.

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

Bestbuy had the best deal for this at the time of purchase!!! Fun lights Holds a charge Can get very loud Very Basey 10/10 reccomend

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.

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.

This thing packs a punch especially if you like some bass. Great sound perfect size and it's portable battery lasts for a party no problem.

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.
