    Read before you buy so you know what to expect

    Here is my 100% honest review Pros 1.great sound and bass 3 different levels of bass from basic,extra bass,extra bass x2 2. Can charge your cell or tablet 3.has a better 3.5 Headphone Jack 4. Can be paired with another partybox on the go. 5. It's IPX4 Rating. Cons. 1.No speaker phone 2.bluetooth 4.3 3.the Battery will only last 3 hours 0r 4 hours at 50% volume with the light off and bass left on normal. 4. The battery is only 6 hours of playtime. 5.if bassboost is maxed or at Medium and light is on and volume is at 100% The battery would die in 2 or 2 and a 1/2 hours. And if played at 50% volume the battery with die in 3 hours. 6. No aptx or Ldac support only acc 7. The price tag. 8. There is no app support for the speaker. For what you're getting from the speaker it's not worth 299.99 but it is worth 249.99 to 259.99. This speaker is basically a portable Bluetooth amp. But I wasn't planning to travel with this speaker it was for my home So I the majority off my cons don't really bother me that much. But I feel I have to Give people a heads up so they know what to expect. But as far as volume go this speaker gets really loud for it's size.

    Is a good speaker for the ones that don’t know much about a good and loud sound but for people that know and want something really loudly I think this isn’t the speaker that we look for

    Great speaker w a few minor negatives

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well i love my music and my jbls so its hard to give it any less than a 5. Pros: Great features like controls for the Treble, bass, echo, guitar, and mic and music volumes. You can use the wireless mic or plug one in as well, or use both. I love that it is portable/rechargeable/wireless. Strap is nice but Cons: a protective case would greatly benefit to prevent all the scratches and dings ive already incurred. The speaker is on the front so there isnt much surround sound to it vs my other non karoake jbls. The mic to music ratio. If you turn the music up it tends to drown the mic out even if the mic volume is all the way up. Battery doesnt last long at all compared to my other jbls. Which i guess should be expected cause its doing more. Pulling the mic etc. But i dont ever run the lights. So overall, some improvements would make this speaker over the top but definitely would purchase again at the price point and seeing the quality, value, convenience of the product and meeting my personal needs for the speaker.

    Must get addition to spice up any event!!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I ordered the 2 pack of extra microphones from jbl, and the 3.5mm dongle jack to pair with this speaker. This thing is awesome! Now with 3 mics! Karoake, music, speeches to school gatherings and crowds, you can pass the mics along to each other. To be frank, this thing hits for its size. A few neighbors and my family got together one night, with many a margarita and food, for hours, we danced, sang, did it all, and we were so surprised the cops weren’t called, since like I said, this thing hits. If you want to spice up any event, this is a must get!!!

    I enjoy the party Box. My son and I use it to hide and make exaggerated sounds of people eating, drinking, walking etc…. The wireless microphone works well. The battery lasts days for what we use it for. I would recommend.

    I got a bass Frequency of 34Hz

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The bass is amazing. I did a frequency test from YouTube and i could hear a bass frequency of 34Hz. at the lowest. That’s pretty low tone to hear. The highs are clean too. Only thing negative is size & weight kinda large. I would give it a 4.8 stars over all if i could. But a gave it a 5.0.
