[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First day I unbox this speaker, me & my wife ended up doing Karaoke for 3 hours straight. This is a great quality speaker, it is almost unbelievable to experience such a great sound from a portable speaker. But the icing on the cake is the mics, oh my god every household needs this speaker, it is such a fun thing. The mics quality is exception for a wireless microphone and so well built. This is one stop shop for a portable speaker with a great bass & Karaoke machine.

[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.] 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!

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.] 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.] Knowing about the whole series of Party Box speakers, I wasn't sure how this would stand up against its much larger family. Boy was I pleased! This little guy packs a huge punch in a small box. It sounds great, looks great, and puts on a fantastic light show. The essential isn't going to be all you need for a party of 200 people, but for a smaller gathering, this is the one! It would definitely make a great speaker for a second room at a large party with its pairing mode! The app and the microphones are what really set this apart from other "boxes" out there. You can fully customize the light show, sound, and karaoke features. And don't worry about a little splash from the pool, this box is water resistant! If I have to pick any cons it would be the battery life and lack of mic storage. It gets the rated time on battery, but its low. I would also sacrifice its small size a little if it had compartments to store the mics and power cord. These two characteristics DO NOT stray me from loving this thing. I use it for gatherings, bonfires, or even when I making dinner!

[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

The Encore speaker is the star and perfect for my need as amateur, loud to fill a room and good sound quality. However, The microphones are too sensitive, which generates an unpleasant echo sound constantly as if being tapped on the head of the microphone . For example, just changing hands or loosing or tightening a finger grip on the base of the microphone, it generates an echo sound similar to being tapped a finger on the head of the microphone. In other words, unintentional touch on any where on the microphone from head to tale generates an echo sound. So the microphones with the Encore set become an unpleasant experience.

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.] 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.
