[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Love JBL products especially when I hear that sound they make when are connected to them. This speaker is another Awesome product from JBL! The Bass response on this is Amazing and the battery life is also great used it for 2weeks and didn’t even have to charge it. It’s Perfect for Tailgating. I Highly recommend this speaker!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I have recently been using the PartyBox Encore 2 and been surprised by the capabilities. First of all, this has an output power of 100W which makes it amazingly loud. This also includes the AI Sound Boost that helps deliver power and clarity. I've downloaded the JBL PartyBox App which allows me to tweak my audio and light experience as needed. Additionally at this size, it is very portable. We've taken it to the beach to enjoy our favorite jams. The splash-proof design has kept it safe and lets me enjoy my beach time without worrying about my kids around the new speaker. Additionally, my husband has taken it to his work picnics for music and public speaking. The included mics have come in handy for speaking out to the crowd and karaoke events. The microphones are very user friendly as they connect as soon as you turn them on. The straps that connect them to the PartyBox are also very practical. Overall, we've been very happy with this PartyBox and can't wait to take it on our next adventure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with the JBL PartyBox Encore 2. The bluetooth connection was immediate and held a good solid connection. The sound quality was simply amazing. Not only did the sound rock, but when you add the bass boost, wow. JBL superior sound just kicks in. The voice over music worked extremely well. There is a control for echo on the cabinet for control. The light effects, chase scenes, within the cabinet and the wrap around lighting was beautiful. The end user has several chase scenes to choose from which also changes the color scheme. As for the microphone connection, it was quick and easy. The 2 cardioid mics are great. They pick up sound extremely well. The 2 mics come with 2 mic holsters that easily mounts to the back of the speaker cabinet. The whole kit, if you will is portable and all devices are self contained. Not to leave out the carrying handle, it is very comfortable where moving the 14 lb. system. Over all I would highly recommend this system if you are looking for entertainment for any event.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PartyBox Encore 2 is an interesting product. While it is marketed as a fancy karaoke boombox for your college dorm, I think it is a far more useful product than you would see at first glance. If you are a singer-songwriter that performs in small venues, if you are a youth pastor that leads youth group nights, if you are a trainer/facilitator in a corporate setting, if you are a fitness instructor that leads training for larger groups, or if you have to do public speaking in outdoor gatherings… Listen Up! To get the normal “review stuff” out of the way. The PartyBox Encore 2 is a portable battery-powered speaker, with a comfortable handle, a couple of microphones, great sound, and is modestly loud. It is rechargeable, and you can play, sing, speak for approximately 7 hours (I tested it, and that’s a real number). The speaker is also pretty portable at around 14-15 lbs. It was super fun to connect my phone via Bluetooth and have a karaoke night. The included microphones worked flawlessly, and since you get a couple of them, you can have an “MC” and a performer. Again, super fun. The speaker can add reverb to the mic input, and it was loud enough to keep the attention of a group of 20 during a house party. The party lights on the speaker were a big plus. You can also plug in a wired mic or an instrument input. I tested it with my acoustic guitar, and the results were pretty surprising. Immediately, I could see the potential for this little unit. Every weekend, I see street performers at the Farmer’s Market here in town. They have to lug around a small PA system, run an extension cord from one of the nearby businesses, and very quickly, you can see how this fun activity becomes a hassle. Meanwhile, I could show up on any given Saturday with the PartyBox Encore 2 and my guitar gig bag. I could set up in all of 5 minutes, run on batteries all day, and then pack up and go without a care in the world. I then started thinking of all the applications where the PartyBox Encore 2 would be the perfect solution. This product could be perfect for a gym trainer running a class for a large group, or a youth pastor leading worship outdoors at a youth camp, or a non-profit performing volunteer work with a large group… I think you get the idea. This unit is perfect for any situation where you could use a PA system, but electricity would be hard to obtain and you don’t want to spend 30 minutes carrying and setting up a traditional PA system. Sure, you could use a megaphone, but could you also run your playlist for entertainment between speaking breaks? Probably not. All in all, this is a super fun unit. You can use it for everything you see on the advertisement and marketing material, but know that once you have it on hand, you start seeing so many other places where you can use it beyond the normal “battery speaker” function that you would expect from a JBL product. The sound is amazing, it has great battery life, and it is super portable for as loud as it is. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker is a solid speaker, and definitely does the job. Battery life is solid, volume is loud (when you need it to be), sound is clear, and connection range is good. This speaker would definitely work well outdoors for pool parties/barbecues, indoor gatherings for work related business, or even just general listening while doing workshop work. The microphones connect quick and seamlessly and have good range, and crystal clear audio. The addition of straps that lock onto the back of the speaker for holding the microphones helps to ensure they always remain with the speaker and don’t get lost. My only issue I have experienced was a small connection issue where randomly the audio from my phone would cut out for a split second before returning to normal. It would never drop the connection entirely, but it would do a small little blip before continuing on. It did seem to have a small connection issue when there was a car in between the speaker and connected device but it wasn’t major, and again would never disconnect. Overall my experience thus far has been solid. It’s definitely gotten good use and will continue to be used for various events and home tasks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this multi purpose speaker.I can use it as PA System,Karaoke, or just to blast tunes.The included microphones are rechargeable as is speaker.The light display is customizable through free app.The battery is removable you can buy extra if needed.The controls are simple to understand and used.Bluetooth connection a brezze.Most importantly the sound is superb.I havent messed with Eq because it sounds so good but you can adjust to your taste.In person you can see the quality of materials and buld quality feels very solid and durable Pictures dont do it justice.Why buy 3 different sprakers when 1 can do it all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1. Big Battery, Big Fun The battery life is one of the first things I noticed. JBL says it can go up to 15 hours on a single charge, and a quick 10-minute top-up gets you over an hour of playtime. In my experience, it’s been more than enough for a full evening of music without worrying about plugging in. Even with the volume up, lights on, and bass boost running, it just keeps going. 2. Packed with Features That Make Sense • Sound performance: It’s powerful, clear, and delivers that deep bass you expect from JBL without losing detail in the highs. • AI Sound Boost: Lets you crank it up without the sound getting muddy. • Auracast connectivity: You can wirelessly link two Encore 2s for true stereo or add more for bigger spaces. • Karaoke-ready: It comes with a wireless mic and built-in controls for echo, bass, and treble, which makes it great for hosting or just having fun. • Lights that groove: The light show reacts to your music and sets the right mood. • Built for real life: It’s splash-resistant, easy to carry with the built-in handle, and made from recycled materials with eco-friendly packaging. 3. What Stands Out in Use This feels like a real step forward from earlier models. The sound is bigger, the battery lasts longer, and connecting it to other speakers is simple. It’s versatile enough for quiet background music or filling a room for a party. 4. A Couple Things to Know The body is mostly plastic, which keeps it light, but it can scratch if you’re rough with it. The lights add a fun vibe, but they’re more for atmosphere than for a full light show. Final Take If you want a dependable, fun, and portable speaker that’s perfect for parties, karaoke nights, or just enjoying music at home, the JBL PartyBox Encore 2 nails it. It delivers great sound, thoughtful features, and the kind of battery life that lets you focus on the moment instead of the charger

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Jbl encore is a perfect addition to my bar. We can use it with music or as loud speaker. Excellent base. The desigbs is perfect the lights move to the music and voulme adgust I have a the bigger party box , but this one is compact easy to use for any event. I think this may be one of my favorite items yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing party speaker! I recieved it the day before I was leaving for a week-long camping trip, and the timing couldn't have been better. My friends were absolutely thrilled I brought a speaker for karaoke, and it was the catalyst for so many smiles and laughs! I got a chance to check out its ruggedness from being used by a quite raucous crowd. A drink was spilled over the top of the speaker at one point, getting all over the knobs and buttons, but it was good as new after wiping it off with a damp cloth. It was also left outside in the grass overnight several times, becoming absolutely soaked in morning dew. Still worked wonderfully! The sound quality is delightful, and the unit is plenty loud; it's easily heard over the constant laughter and yelling of a crowd of 20-30. Back home, I've aso been using this speaker for my electronic drum set! My old drum monitor is out of comission at the moment, and they plug right into the nifty guitar jack in the back of the unit! Being so impressed by the speaker's versatility and quality, I'd honestly reccomend it for anybody looking for a general-use speaker. It sounds great, functions as a decent amplifier for drums, guitar, & keyboard, and it wonderfully compact and portable! I'll likely get another eventually to try out the speaker pairing mode...
