I’ve never been so happy with my purchase. Speaker’s sound is very nice especially with the bass boost on. Microphones are pretty great as well. They are heavy and very well made. Does not look cheap. Battery lasts pretty good if you don’t need the lights on. A bit heavy to carry around though, but not an issue for us. Overall, great purchase. JBL makes the best speakers! (In my opinion)

Out of the box, has sufficient party power and we were able to use it for about 2 hours. Would've been able to play more if the apartment was okay with the loud music. So fluid in connecting via bluetooth, and the mics are of high quality. Everything about this is screaming quality! I havent explored the app yet but even without it, this is just a good speaker. I am glad that I choose this version compared to the essential as this already have great quality microphones and I don't have to worry about anything else anymore. I got it during black friday deals BUT i will gladly pay for this at full price even.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this thing is a little beast! First impressions, the packaging of the Partybox and build quality overall are excellent. Both the mics and the Partybox feel heavy and feel very durable. A cool feature is the lightshow that reacts to the music and also shows you the volume level as you turn it up or down. You can also completely customize the lights and the music with the Partybox app. Love that it's water resistant so it can be used outside or by the pool worry free. The same night I received the Partybox, it instantly became a party. It connected to my phone without a hitch and I was amazed once I turned it on. Music quality is great and the bass even without the bass boost is super punchy. The mics are so easy to setup and the adjustability on the go is so easy and useful, it made singing along so fun. I'm tempted to get another one so they can be paired together and double the awesome! I've never had a speaker that puts out such high quality music and bass, while still being portable, let alone also being a karaoke machine! Would definitely recemmond!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This music box is super loud with bass beyond many, used it in my house and had my whole house bassed out with beautiful sounds with my lights off it was amazing lights coming from the speaker. I love that i can control everything from the app

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm astonished at how well this sounds and how long the battery lasts. I use it to stream music and also play stored playlists from a USB drive for outdoor parties by the pool or in my yard or balcony and it's loud enough for the area. In addition the wireless karaoke PA, which is portable has remarkable bass response and full-range surround stereo sound reproduction. The stand out feature for me is the lightshow up front! The amazing and dazzling lights are very immersive giving the room a party vibe. If you’re looking for a way to broadcast across the entire gymnasium or from the stage-this will do it, and comes with two wireless microphones “We love karaoke so the wireless mic made it easy to pass the mic around the group”, and a phone app that can control all functions including light show and sound effect such as clapping, booing and gong noises. The best thing is, it’s portable. It has a handle integrated into the top and can be transported in the cargo space of and SUV/Van or even in the backseat of a sedan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I start... Partybox Encore is a great little speaker for everyone to enjoy! To be honest it was bigger and heavier than expected but light enough for my 4 year old son to carry it around. The sound coming out from this speaker fills up the whole room or backyard, it even rattles the walls around my home. The JBL Partybox app lets you easily control the EQ settings and I was able to dial in the sound to my preference. Speaking of the Partybox app it is fun since it also lets me control DJ effects, Karaoke (more on that later), LED lights, and sound EQ settings. I don't do Karaoke but my kids do and they have a blast doing it with the two microphones that come included with the Partybox Encore. They come paired right out of the box and the speaker has knobs to control the mic's bass, treble, echo and volume. It was very simple setting up Bluetooth and the streaming service I use with the apple logo has lyrics so the family loves signing along to Encanto. It is also nice that the speaker has batteries so this means I can take it with me and not have to worry about an electrical outlet. The power button comes with an easy to read charging indicator so it is super easy to know when the battery is at 100%. The Partybox Encore quickly became my new favorite speaker because of the portability and sound it has, along with the included microphones and the LED effects this speaker will definitely get the party going!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Partybox Encore is hands down the best boombox we have heard in years. We play a lot of Pickleball, we hold parties at the lake, and our kids love karaoke. There has been so many products at the Pickleball courts as people always try to bring their speakers that everyone can hear. The Partybox does exactly that and more. I will start off describing the Partybox itself. It is fairly light for it's size and for the amount of sound it puts out, you would think it would be a tank. The handle to carry the box is ergonomically correct and very comfortable. The power, lights, bluetooth, and bass boost are easy to depress and work flawlessly. The volume knob turns easily and so do the Karaoke knobs. The Aux In and USB are nicely covered from the elements by a rubberized cover as well as the power cord adapter area. The Partybox sits securely on the ground and doesn't vibrate when the music is turned up. The lights are an added touch. The LED blinking lights are bright and strobe in a nice pattern. There is way to many options you can select for how the colored lights and LED strobe lights flicker at a certain pattern. The colors are bright and vibrant!! At night, the lights are a great addition to this music box. The included 2 metal, high quality microphones transmit to the music box with ease and they sound very clear. We downloaded the app so when a song is played you get to read the lyrics. Adjusting the eq for the karaoke is a nice added touch and helps with adjusting deep or high voices with the type of music being played. Now for the sound this box puts out....it is crazy good how nice this little box sounds. The bass boost adds to the deep tone or leaving it without bass boost the speaker is very clear with high and low frequency sounds. I kid you not when I say the sound is impressive!!! Over the last 4 days I have take the Partybox to the Pickleball courts, all the players now expect me to play music from this nice system. The compliments we now get make the other people that use to bring their speakers envious of our JBL Partybox Encore. We continue to be amazed at the sound quality and portability of such a great sounding system. There is one thing I wish this box had incorporated with its' design. The power cord doesn't have a place to store it. Having a nice light storage area with the rubberized cover would have allowed owners to no lose or misplace the cord since there isn't a dedicated storage place for it. To keep it with the box we roll it up and push it under neath the handle. This works but a storage place would be better. Everything else about this box we down right LOVE!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a speaker that I could also use with microphones for an upcoming event to play music and to amplify a few speeches, and this speaker does everything I needed and then some. This speaker packs a powerful punch for its size and is remarkably straightforward to use. Once the speaker was unpacked and plugged in to start charging, set up was simple. This speaker comes with two wireless microphones (no need to order another one), and they were already paired, so all I had to do was add batteries and turn them on, and they were ready to go. There is a separate volume control for the microphones so that you can turn them up or down separate from the music or anything else that you are playing on the speakers. The mics are very clear, and they will be perfect for speeches at our upcoming event. The sound quality is also pretty good, and you can make adjustments to add bass boost or to increase or decrease the bass and treble, which gives you a little flexibility to adjust the sound to match your preferences. This speaker fills the space with found and has the high quality that I have come to expect from JBL. This also has substantial battery life and is easy to carry, making it easy to use anywhere you need it. There are several options for lights that move with the music in a color pattern of your choice if that adds to the environment of your event, but you can also cycle through the options and just the lights off if your event calls for something a little more serious. If you’re looking for a speaker for an outdoor movie night, a backyard barbecue, karaoke night, an event where you need to be able to play music and give a few speeches, are teaching in a classroom where you need a little amplification to be heard easily, or are just looking for a great speaker to use every day with a really simple setup, this is the one for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker, to my understanding, is building on the Partybox. The main improvement was done to the battery, which now lasts 1.5-2 times longer. And it shows! Even with lights enabled, I easily get 8-10 hours out of the speaker. I haven't tried to turn off the light effects, but I would imagine it will last even longer. Of course, the sound is great: it's lively, hits the right highs and mids. Bass is adjustable, and I like it the most on the first level of Bass Boost. It makes the speaker amazing outdoors, but can be too much indoors. The second level of the boost does something to the bass, feels like it's boosting and cutting it off at the same time. It just doesn't sound refined. The included two microphones work great! They reproduce voices accurately and feel nice in the hand. The use as a karaoke machine is niche, but it's always there if (when?) you need it. The lights are fun and entertain both adults and kids. It's cool that they flash in sync with the music. Somehow, they flash even in sync with voices from the microphones - weird but cool. The speaker has all the adjustments of the bigger models and is very easy to use and control. Bluetooth pairs immediately and works at rather long distances. Overall, this is a great speaker for both outdoor and indoor parties. The included microphones are fun for children and could be very useful for adults. Battery life is very good, and sound is quality, as usual. Strongly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This small cube speaker (roughly 12") is lightweight and portable, but the sound is full and rich like you would expect from JBL. I love the rechargeable battery, gives many hours of listening in remote spots like the beach or camping. Easy to read and see battery level indicator is very much appreciated. The true wireless connection to other Partybox speakers is easy to use and works great, the only thing was the volume goes up on both speakers, so it was kind of hard to balance the sound, I will experiment more with this feature. Bluetooth connections are also easy to connect and use various devices, we use this daily as our Alexa speaker. A very nice surprise was the included microphones, they are instantly paired when you turn the speaker on. This is very handy for us, we use our Partybox for presentations and gatherings. Having the microphone volume right on top makes it easy to adjust the sound on the fly. Overall, the quality, sound, and ease of use makes this speaker our first choice for parties and gatherings.
