Eh

Dies after like 1 1/2- 2hrs. Also isn't one of the models that connect to party lights. Good sound though

Love my JBL! Not sure if my neighbors do. Crystal clear sound fills my yard. And it certainly loud enough.

Really like these speakers

I bought 2 of these to use at my daughter's wedding after the DJ finishes. The wedding hasn't happened yet but we tested these and are very happy with the sound quality, volume, easy to connect, easy to link the two speakers and the battery duration. We did get them at 20% off on sale

Disappointed

The sound is good but the app is not compatable with Chromebook or HP laptop and maybe other devices. The other JBL Partybox products do not have this issue.

Great sound

I bought this as a gift for my husband's birthday. The sound is great and I love the light that changes with the music providing an added entertainment bonus. We've had a number of smaller bluetooth speakers scattered around our apartment which have been fine but a lot to manage and keep charged etc. Now we've been able to consolidate to this one speaker and the sound is even better than expected. It's the only one we need to hear the music throughout our apartment.

Great speaker! Wait for sale

It is a great product. Not worth 300 in my opinion, but I got it for 180 on a nice sale and that is totally worth it

Amazing Partybox!

This Bluetooth speaker is exactly what I was looking for! Perfect size with a very convenient carrying handle. The sound is AWESOME! There are three choices for bass which is great. The light show is fun to play with or you can turn it off. Great quality! I expect that from JBL products!

The best for price and portability!

Great! Especially for the price. You can usually find one on sale if you wait. I watched reviews saying that it as good as the Partybox 110. I didn't beleive it, so I bought a 110. I honestly prefer the Encore Essential. I wish that I wouldn't have bought the 110. Put 2 Essentials in stereo mode. Awesome! And on sale you can buy 2 for the cost of one 110.

Best speakers ever

I bought one speaker and had to get me another one. To not only set it up for my home but for when I host parties and do my outdoor theater. The sound quality, clarity and bass is ridiculously sick.

Big sound

Sound quality is very good. But, having mic input DOES NOT make any sense with the TWS feature. Mic audio DOESN'T work with the TWS feature on both speakers. NOT A VERY GOOD THINKING when it was designed.

Superior Performance

It's what I've come to expect from JBL. A superior product with immersive sound. Indoors or outdoors, this speaker sets its own stage as your are surrounded by great sound, highs lows and the bass, all impressive.

Estoy muy contento con las bocinas compré dos y por el precio yo las compré a $199.99 y suenan muy bien lo que más me gusta es que a las puedo conectar al mismo tiempo inalámbricamente aparte de más funciones la pila dura un tiempo razonable y en general muy bien las bosnias

Let the Bass Drop!

By Ed¹¹

Wow! this speaker is amazing! Music with deep bass sounds super clear and punchy without distorting clarity. The best part about it is that you can download the Partybox app and update how deep you want the bass to sound; customizations on this speaker are awesome. The light patterns can be adjusted however you'd like or if you decide that the light show is not you're taste, you can turn them off. So far, I've been setting up my speaker in my living room, bedroom and outside out in the yard. ...

Loud, clear, boomy and so fun!

By bigrunnermike

Wow!!! Received the JBL party box Encore Essential and was first impressed with its great packaging. Pulled it out and connected my phone to it with ease. The Bluetooth is strong and has a huge distance. We rocked this thing at half volume in our backyard, across the pool and it sounded FANTASTIC!!
