Customer reviews for JBL PartyBox Encore 2 Portable Party Speaker with 2 Mics forGreat sound!!!
Nice speaker
Keeps the Party Going
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL PartyBox Encore 2 creates big sound in a small package. The most enjoyable part about it is the long battery life. Getting 15 hours in one charge with such crisp highs and deep lows is amazing. The integration with the JBL app is great for monitoring settings, sound and lighting. The karaoke offering is great and gives it another wonderful party aspect. The microphones are easily storable on the back of the speaker and offer a decent quality sound to sing along to your favorite songs. The dedicated guitar port adds yet another layer of fun if you're out giving your friends a show! All in all it's a feature packed and great sounding set up!
Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first took the speaker I was amazed with the build quality. You downloaded the app first. The app gives you control over the lights, sound and party effects. You can select from several presets or adjust the eq yourself. Great speaker for a party. The sound was exactly what I expected from JBL. Clear highs and talk about amazing BASS!! I can’t recommend this product enough.
This JBL speaker is definitely a party in a box!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this speaker a couple of weeks ago and wow am I glad that I did. This portable speaker is definitely a party in a box! It has been great for hanging out at the pool this summer. I guess it's about 20lbs in weigh so it's not too heavy to carry around. I plan to use on my next trip to the beach. The battery last for hours and can be swapped with a spare if you've got it. The sound is top notch and you can feel the bass boost in your chest. It comes with TWO wireless mics for karaoke. You can even plug a guitar in it. And when the sun goes down you can keep the fun going with the built-in lightshow. You can control all of the sound and light features with JBL app. The ONLY thing you need to worry about with this thing is buying 1 or 2 USB-C cables to charge the mics. I highly recommend it.
PartyBox Encore 2
[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.
Portable on the go speaker with lots of features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Encore 2 is a fantastic portable speaker, for parties, karaoke, or to just listen to music on the go, with an easy to carry handle. It has 2 wireless microphones that conveniently hang on to the back of the speaker, with the included loop hooks for karaoke or events. It has built in rotating and pulsating led lights that are customizable for that DJ disco music effect and the lights are bright. I love the 15 hours of play on this speaker, with the convenience of a removable battery for swapping, with the additional purchase of a battery of course. The JBL Partybox Encore 2 is water splash resistant only with an IPX4 rating. On the app it uses Auracast to connect other newer JBL speakers, but I did link my slightly older JBL 110 speaker together and it connected through the app, with TWS (true wireless stereo) with no hiccups. On JBL Partybox app you can customize your lights, use DJ sounds, with additional programmed light effects and toggle your microphone bass, treble and echo. My wife and I had fun singing a karaoke duet. The sound on the Partybox Encore 2 was very clear and no microphone feedback was heard. I am very impressed at how the this speaker sounds, with very clear mids and highs and a boomy base. The speaker doesn't seem very heavy at all. The front grill is nice, but can be scratched or dented if you're not careful when transporting. In the back of the speaker it has a USB type C port for charging for your phone and a guitar 3/4 inch port that can also be used as an additional microphone input. The speaker does produce a fantastic sound with the AI sound technology it has. Overall the JBL Partybox Encore 2 is a winner for Karaoke portability with the included 2 microphones, or just listening to music on the go. I am rating this speaker a 9 out of 10 only because of the metal grill in the front that can be scratched or dented when transporting. No type C cable is included for charging the microphones or a charge brick, but still not a deal breaker.

Fun family night addition
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I accepted the JBL PartyBox Encore 2 because I wanted a portable speaker that combined powerful audio with built-in karaoke capability and long runtimes for both family gatherings and workouts. Its promise of JBL’s signature bass, dynamic lighting, and a removable battery seemed to match my needs for durability and flexibility. The inclusion of a wireless microphone and customizable lightshow offered an all-in-one solution that could entertain guests or drive motivation during exercise. During our first family gathering, the karaoke feature worked seamlessly with Apple Music’s karaoke function, bringing everyone together to belt out tunes. The speaker’s volume and clarity ensured that every voice came through crisply. On workout days, I found it compact enough to carry by its soft-touch top handle, and the robust bass kept energy levels high throughout each routine. The build quality feels solid and high-end, standing up well to both indoor use and outdoor transport. I appreciated the built-in microphone holders that kept accessories organized and ready at a moment’s notice. The removable battery was a great idea for extending playtime, although tracking down official replacement batteries required extra effort through third-party sellers. I expected the advertised fifteen-hour battery life to sustain over a full day of moderate use, but I consistently saw closer to ten hours when the lightshow was active. Turning off the lights helped stretch runtime, but buyers should plan for shorter playtimes under full-feature use. Carrying a spare battery or a high-capacity power bank greatly improved my overall experience. Controlling lights and sound effects through the JBL PartyBox app was enjoyable, and the effect lab added creative flair. However, the effect lab felt underdeveloped, as though it were an afterthought rather than a polished feature. I also found it frustrating to juggle multiple JBL apps for different devices and would welcome a single unified application. Overall, the PartyBox Encore 2 delivers on its promise of loud, bass-heavy sound and immersive lighting that elevate any gathering. Its portability, premium build, and built-in karaoke features make it ideal for families, home entertainers, and fitness enthusiasts seeking a versatile audio companion. Prospective buyers should know that battery life may fall short of expectations and that spare batteries aren’t widely available through official channels. But if you are keeping it at home most of the time that isn't a great concern since it can be plugged in. I awarded four stars because the Encore 2 excels in audio performance and party features yet leaves room for improvement in battery longevity and app consolidation. Knowing beforehand about the difficulty in purchasing additional batteries and the fragmented app ecosystem would have set more realistic expectations. My positive experience aligns well with the rating I provided. I have included high-resolution photos showcasing the speaker’s lightshow and a short video demonstrating the karaoke feature to highlight how the PartyBox Encore 2 fits into both family gatherings and workout sessions.
