We bought and the same day we tried, one of the mic stopped working, we had to turn of the speaker several times and sometimes the microphone worked. We decided to change it but Sam's Manager said we needed to pay a difference because price had changed. Very disappointed of customer service at Sam's. We decided to returned because we considered it is not fair since it is not our fault but, our intention was a simple exchange.

Compact size, good sound and easy to pair blue tooth. It cost $170.00 I think it is a good price for this bluetooth speaker with a pair of mics.

This has been one of my best purchases ever. The speaker is small, loud, but not too loud. I like the fact that I can carry it with me with plenty of ease. The microphones are high quality, too. I could not expect anything less from JBL.

Very nice sound. Haven't had a chance to test the battery life yet. The mics are impressive. Absolutely no white noise from the mics, which is surprising to me, because with the current JBL Partybox 310 we have, both JBL wireless and wired mics have noticeable white noise when the music is off. The only concern I have: it doesn't have mic input. So if the accompanying mics have issues, we would have to buy the same model from JBL, which might not be cheap.

I bought this for my son’s family, girl 4 and boy 2. My son informs me that they have had hours of fun already. I liked it in concept because it is compact and Blue Tooth, so it’s easy to set up, operate, break down and put away. Very pleased with it.

Definitely worth it! I use this for my own personal music, as well as when my family and I sing Karaoke! I also took it up to our TV in the living room to use as a “soundbar” but better!!!! Super clear and can adjust bass, mid, treble using the JBL App. Super worth it!

Favorite Christmas gift for my 16 year old daughter last year and favorite gift for my 20 year old son this year! He coveted hers and tried to steal it every time he came home from college. It’s awesome as a speaker and equally great for karaoke. The sound effects in the app are fun too for goofing around with at parties.

JBL is one of my favorite speakers. It has an app that you can adjust the sound equalizer, lights and volume. Bluetooth pairing and 10 hours playing after fully charged. A must have when having a party or karaoke night. Best of all, got it on sale for $179.99 ($424.18).

The JBL PartyBox Encore has proven to be a versatile and portable Bluetooth speaker that excels in music playback. The inclusion of two wireless microphones adds a karaoke element to its features, although there are some nuances to consider. I managed to grab two units at a discounted price of $179 each, which I found to be a good deal. However, the original price seemed way too steep for the overall performance. When used for music listening, these speakers deliver excellent sound quality with decent bass, and the ability to pair them together in TWS mode enhances the overall listening experience. For karaoke purposes, there are some drawbacks worth noting. The ECHO effect produced by the microphones might not meet everyone's expectations, as it tends to sound dry and somewhat artificial. Additionally, when using two speakers in TWS mode, the music is distributed evenly between both speakers, providing a rich stereo experience. However, the vocals from the microphones are only routed to the speaker to which they are assigned. This can create an imbalance in the sound output, affecting the overall karaoke experience. While the JBL PartyBox Encore is a great choice for music enthusiasts who prioritize portability and powerful sound, it may not be the ideal option for those seeking a seamless and balanced karaoke experience, especially when using multiple speakers. Nevertheless, for solo use or smaller gatherings, its long-lasting battery life of 8 hours or more and impressive sound quality make it a solid choice.

I love the speaker so much, only problem is is I listen to electronic music which has a lot of bass, therefore I use the app to control the equalizer and bring down the base as much as possible for my neighbors. however it is still pretty powerful base even at the lowest setting I can get it to. you will not be disappointed with this speaker! rock on y'all
