    This JBL speaker is incredible! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep, punchy bass that fills the whole room (or even outdoors). The volume gets super loud without any distortion, and it easily connects to my devices with no issues. The battery lasts a long time, and the design feels solid and durable—definitely built to last. Perfect for parties, workouts, or just relaxing with music. Totally worth every penny!

    RUN TO GET THIS!! AMAZING VERSATILE

    I don't Usually take this time to write reviews but this one I'm hoping will help a lot of people like me!! THE SOUND QUALITY on this is absolutely amazing. We do family karaoke every Saturday night and we NEEDED an upgrade from our $50 set we've been using! I decided to get this as our Anniversary gift & this has blown my expectations OUT OF THE WATER!! IT SOUNDS BETTER THAN SOME KARAOKE AT BARS..NO JOKE! very clear sound, no feedback or echoing, easy to charge, GREAT battery life! Very portable (even comes with a strap if you want to carry it out to a beach or backyard, etc.) I researched so many options & specs of JBL as I was originally wanting the party box Encore that came with two microphones.. unless I wanted to order that on eBay, which would not be my first choice, it runs typically $450+. Just to be clear there is an encore essential That is still available and I'm sure that is great however it did not come with any microphones so if that was a drawback for me. This one comes with one microphone it is battery powered. I also purchased the two JBL wireless microphones so we could have additional. So with that being said the microphone that comes with this party box is absolutely amazing and I ended up returning the two JBL wireless mics, even though they are amazing they just Were not as loud as the original that came with it. I believe it would be due to how it is transmitting the sound via the Wi-Fi adapter. So this is something to think about. We did order a couple cheaper microphones from Amazon (that have the same issue as the JBL ones purchased here) however within my research(reddit post )with this speaker you can contact JBL directly and they are able to provide you an additional microphone that will connect just as the one does in the box. I believe it is about $49 and you need to have your product info ready because they'll look up if you have mic A or B and then they can provide you the other. YOU HAVE TO CALL, you cannot just visit their website.(See attached directions in photo)You can't sync just any other microphone to this with out a transmitter/dongle. Overall we LOVE THIS and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    Amazing sound and really good bass. Lasts all day. I use it in my lawn when i garden. Only downside is that it doesnt charge your phone with the usb port it has.

    I actually have enjoyed this purchase. BUT; TO not have mobile app support is just absurd for the price point. I never really tried it but six months and I’m trying to connect it to things and most things yeah but some things need a little assistance and this Model falls short. granted I think I snagged black Friday for like two Hundo so no complaints adding a 2nd microphone adding another unit, It’s not overly Bass heavy, but the quality is good, i just turn it 180° at a wall and that does the trick. still mad about the app though lol

    Best portable loud boombox I’ve ever owned. Took it on a boat, it got wet, no problems. The mic that comes with it is perfect, whoever thought of adding the microphone is a genius. I’ll connect my phone and use sound Fx to make all the peoples laugh

    I absolutely love this speaker! The sound quality is amazing — powerful bass, clear vocals, and no distortion even at high volume. My husband loves to sing, and this quickly became his favorite speaker. It makes his voice sound super clear and fills the room with great sound. The LED lights add a fun vibe, and the battery lasts for hours. It’s easy to carry, easy to connect, and perfect for parties, trips, or just using at home. Totally worth it and highly recommended!

    I needed a loud music source for my dance rehearsals and cast parties in our rehearsal hall. This fits the bill AND it has a microphone for karaoke nights! I’m very pleased with this purchase.

    Honestly not a bad speaker, i was curious about it because it doesnt have the bass port like the other partyboxes but maintains very good bass for its size, its got a nice good strap on it which keeps it easily portable since its on the go. The battery life can be challenging, but its made to be loud, which can drain the battery, beware, none the less. Very good speakerrrrr
