Great sound clear crisp. 2 mics included, fun for at home karaoke

very loud and clear sound. Great purchase.

[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 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this party box works well for more than just parties. We took it to a County event and also used it as our microphone and speaker in a barn. The sound carried perfectly was easy to use and very clear. 10 out of 10 would recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the JBL PartyBox Encore 2 for a while now, and I have to say—it’s one of the best portable party speakers I’ve owned. First off, the sound is amazing. It’s loud, clear, and the bass really hits, even in outdoor spaces. I’ve used it for small gatherings and backyard events, and it fills the space effortlessly. Whether you’re playing music, using the mic, or just watching people dance, the audio never disappoints. Battery life is solid too. I easily get a full day’s use on a single charge—around 10–15 hours depending on the volume and lighting. Perfect for full-day events or road trips. One of the things I really liked is the wireless mic that comes with it. It’s very loud and clear, making it perfect for outdoor use, karaoke nights, or announcements. Even better, it has an inbuilt rechargeable battery that charges via USB-C (though note: the Type-C cable isn’t included, so you’ll need your own). There’s also a mic holder on the speaker itself, so you can keep it attached and not worry about losing it during the event. Another highlight is how easy it is to connect multiple speakers together. I’ve personally tested it with a JBL PartyBox 120, and the connection was seamless. This feature is a game changer when you want to create a bigger sound experience across a larger area. Build-wise, the speaker feels sturdy and looks great with its built-in light effects. It’s not too bulky either, which makes it easy to move around. Overall, I’m really happy with the Encore 2. It delivers great sound, has good battery life, works beautifully with the mic, and makes multi-speaker setup a breeze. Whether it’s for parties, events, or just family get-togethers, it gets the job done and more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been enjoying the PartyBox Encore 2 for almost two weeks now. Upon first unboxing the speaker, I noticed it has a handle that retracts flat on the top of the unit. It’s has an ergonomic feal to it. Pairing was simple with the press of the Bluetooth button on top of the unit. After I paired the speaker I attached the two microphone mounts to the back of the speaker. Having the previous model, adding mounts for the included microphones for the newer model is a huge plus. I no longer have to locate my mics as they are stored on the back of this new model. A very welcomed improvement. Adjustments for the rechargeable mics are located on top of the speaker. This newer model has a smaller appearance than the previous but sounds better. The new PartyBox Encore 2 has commanding bass and rich midrange. The high frequencies blend perfectly with the overall sound. The sound stays clear and balanced all the way to max volume. It has practically no distortion when cranked up. You can fine tune the frequencies via the PartyBox app to your liking. Another improvement on this new model is the removable battery located on the back of the unit. Flip down the door and simply pull the tab and it easily comes out. This adds a sense of longevity to this speaker as batteries degrade over time. I recently used this speaker for a party and it had plenty of battery left after 7 hours of continuous playing with bass boost on and lights active. I had the speaker more than half way up so this battery performs great in this speaker. The party lights on the front of the speaker really add to the party vibe. You can change the pattern via the Party Box app or by the controls on top of the speaker. They are very bright and lively and make the party even more fun. This speaker has the auracast feature. It works with my Flip 7 and PartyBox Ultimate which is awesome. Both different speakers, but have the ability to connect via Auracast to the PartyBox Encore 2 and any other Jbl products with Auracast. I’m happy to see that you can now connect different types of speakers together utilizing Auracast. Auracast holds the connection between speakers perfectly without loosing connection. I had this speaker paired with my PartyBox Ultimate which really filled my yard with sound during a party I was having. All of my guests were highly impressed with the sound of the PartyBox Encore 2 during my recent party. Back to the sound of this speaker. It’s plenty for a party. I have more than half an acre in my back yard and this is perfect for filling it with sound, without getting the cops called on me. My neighbors said they can hear it but it’s not bothersome. This speaker is very loud for its size, but won’t shake the ground under you. The sound is very impressive for the size of the speaker, and the small drivers encased in it. The port in back of the speaker reinforces the low frequencies without any port turbulence. It’s tuned very well for the speaker. The speaker is well designed. Easy to operate controls on the top. Enclosed ports on the rear, which are illuminated by a led light include a guitar input, gain control, auxiliary input and usb-c port. The cover helps give this speaker an IPX4 rating. There is another covered port where the speaker is charged from. The speaker doesn’t have any protective overmolds on it so it will get scratched if you bump or rub it on something. It will crack if you drop it as the housing is plastic. The front grill is metal to protect the actual drivers. The included microphones are built very well. They feel very premium and work seamlessly for some karaoke. This speaker is super fun at a party for this reason. My kids take the speaker when their friends come over to have a karaoke jam. Jbl has released another solid Party speaker. It has improved specs, hardware and accessories when compared to the previous model. Every improvement is well thought out and welcomed. It’s my go to speaker for casual listening and for parties. The fact that you can even use it with the previous model is an added bonus. Connect speakers from other categories of Jbl speakers via Auracast making this speaker even more versatile.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PartyBox is by far the best Bluetooth speaker you can get for the price ! Itis superb sound quality and it’s portablity make it the perfect speaker for any gathering ! I am in love with this speaker !

[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...
