Battery is something to be desired. I have multiple JBL speakers and the batteries are all awesome. My 1st gen boombox lasts forever. This this only lasts 3 hours max. I’m talking no lights not using the mics, just music at 55% volume. I’m going on o send back and see if I just got a bad unit.

[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 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.

[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.] The JBL Partybox Encore is my new go to speaker. Connecting is super easy. It is quite a bit smaller than my other Partybox speaker but the sound is huge! It’s the crystal clear sound I expect and the bass is out of this world. The speaker is splash proof so no need to worry if it’s overcast or if you are using it at a pool or the beach. Because of the size it’s easy to carry. It stays charged for hours. Love controlling it with the app!

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!

I got this speaker as a gift and it is truly awesome!!! I love it!! Sound quality A Bass A Karoke A I love playing my music and doing karaoke. You wont regret purchasing one of these!! Also comes with 2 microphones!! I cant get over how amazing this speaker is!!! LOL

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gem is amazing! It has amazing color schemes you can choose and it has the ability to have it sync with the music. It holds the charge for quite a long time. I didn't time it, but I've used it multiple times and still haven't had to charge it. The microphones are very good quality. My kids have enjoyed singing along and ad-libbing to the songs. I really only have 2 complaints or recommendations for future models. There isn't a place to store the microphones. If it's just going to sit in one place, they can rest in the area of the carry handle. However, if you are transporting this anywhere, there isn't a place to store them with the unit so they don't roll around or get lost. Also, the charge cord doesn't have a place to store it or even something to wrap it around so it stays with the machine and doesn't get misplaced. If these two issues could be resolved, it would be the best ever!

[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.

[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.
