[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.

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)

[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 is the most amazing speaker, but I don't expect anything less from JBL! It is lightweight and sure packs a punch in sound which is crisp (great bass and treble)! It is also wireless and splash-proof which means that you can use it is very versatile for all of your music needs. I also purchased a Monster "Rockin Roller 360" and there is no comparison in sound, size, and portability. I am returning the Monster it is a brick and the sound is just awful, very quiet and terrible bass/treble! This JBL also includes 2 wireless microphones compared to Monster's 1 wired microphone. Purchase this JBL and you will not be disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Title summarizes my experience with JBL PartyBox Encore. It’s so cute, and easy to carry anywhere. I take use it near the pool, while working out, family gatherings and also at parties with friends. JBL’s signature Bass is what makes this product a must have for any music lovers.

*A Lot* of bang (and bass!) for your buck! Bought one and was so impressed by the sound and high quality wireless mics l, that I had to buy a second one when they went on sale. Syncing up 2 of these for stereo sound and now having 4 wireless mics that all work together, makes for one rocking karaoke night. Connect these to an 3rd gen Apple TV 4K (with the “Sing” Karoke songs) and you have everything a professional would have. LED lights and app integration are also well done and allow for customization. Wow!

[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.] This Partybox Encore sounds amazing. Connected my phone with Bluetooth and played some songs for my kids and the loved it. Downloaded the Partybox app to change the lights on the speaker. I haven’t synced this with another Partybox, but looking forward to doing that in the future. I would recommend this for anyone looking for more sound than some of the smaller pill shaped Bluetooth speakers.

amazing speaker. just bought it at the store. connection is flawless and sound quality is just great. mics are very good sounding with no distortion at all. will have to see how the battery performs over the next few months. just wish there was also an FM option and recahargeble USB C mics - esp. for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great smaller portable speaker that packs a powerful sound. It has the same quality as the bigger speakers offered by JBL however, I like how it doesn't have to be plugged in at all times to be used. You plug it in to charge the speaker and unplug to take it wherever you desire. It offers the lights and bass boost like the larger party boxes which comes in handy in smaller spaces to light up a room. I also like how you can wirelessly pair this speaker with another JBL party box to spread out the sound over very large ranges. This party box also comes with two wireless microphones so that you can DJ or do karaoke. Overall, this is a great portable speaker to use for many functions, small or large.
