So far so good....thing sounds great. I use it with my acoustic guitar and mic and thus far pretty impressed with the sound for the size, the overall ease of setting it up, and features. The app is not as user friendly as it could be, but doable, the effect on the app are better than I expected. I haven't used it yet in frontvof a crowd or in a room bigger than my living room, but so far, seems like it has plenty of volume and headroom for ots size and what it is. Bluetooth good to about 25 or 30 feet, and I like that it can play through while I play and sing with it. Wish it would link up with my EON 712s and could use the JBL connect app, but otherwise, so far, a big thumbs up from me. Should come wit a JBL tshirt, 3x, hint hint.

The EON One Compact shines when it comes to sound quality, and that's where the emphasis should be. Other nice features: portability, socket for speaker stand, Bluetooth input, and phantom power. Incidentally, these last two features are why I chose the Eon Compact over the Roland Street Cube EX. Where the EON falls short: like other reviewers, I struggle to use the controls which use red light to indicate their position. I presume a dial that is 1/2 lit is at 50% of its range, but it's by no means obvious, and having no physical minimum or maximum position makes it doubly challenging. Yes, I am old school - give me a knob that goes from 1 to 10 (or 11) with a hard stop at the low and high ends. I also am a bit challenged by the mixing flexibility. The unit has separate controls for volume, bass, treble, and reverb. A "channel" button lets you scroll through each of the channels, and the one you select is indicated by a red light. You select the channel you want, then make the appropriate adjustments. If you push the channel button until all channels are lit up, the bass, treble, volume, and reverb controls become volume controls that let you mix the volume of each channel. It takes a while to get used to, and I think I'd prefer to adjust the mix with a single volume control for each channel. One thing I am struggling with and I plan to reach out to JBL is whether I can connect a personal monitor to let me hear what's going on in the mix. To prevent feedback, the EON has to be at your side or in front of you, which makes it difficult to hear your own singing and playing. If you connect headphones it disconnects the speakers. There is a line-out jack that the manual says lets you hook up two or more EON Compact for larger venues. I would like to connect just a small mic stand-mounted monitor. I have run a cable from the line out jack into a small powered speaker and there was a delay between the main speaker and monitor that made it impossible to use. I don't consider these issues to be deal-breakers, just the difference between a four-star and five-star review.

After scrutinizing over the JBL EON One Compact with several other brands, we are glad to have added these speakers to our sound arsenal. Solid battery performance. Good safe on/off button (in contrast to others' opinions). Good weight for transportation---get a gig bag for it to save on the wear and tear. The sound levels at the rated mHZ was spot-on...enough to lift the party at most venues sans the wires and limits.

Compact and perfect for wedding ceremonies located away from the reception.

I've had this now for several months. At first I thought it was the best thing since slice bread - love the sound for such a small unit. Unfortunately it does crazy things like shuts down in the middle of songs and has to be rebooted. Sometimes when it's plugged in it will simply show red and shut itself down, needing to be rebooted again and again until it finally figures out that it's plugged in. This software is most likely to blame - it badly needs fixes for these problems because the sound blows away the competition.

I own two eon 610s a 612,and a compact.With the app,they can be customized to individual instruments or rooms.Work great as piggy backs with amp modelers.

Bought this to use a portable amp for my bass. Good sound and nice features, especially like the bluetooth. But, as many have mentioned, the power button is a 'soft' digital power button, and mine has already broken. Unbelievable for a $500 speaker.

I had two JBL Eon 1 Compact delivered yesterday and was with tech support for over two hours to get both speakers working simultaneously. Still no resolve, very dissatisfied and disappointed. I have been using Harmon Kardon, JBL family of products for years. I read very poor reviews on the JBL “Party Box” and assumed the Pro Side would be a better avenue to take. After all the updates the California JBL Rep said it is a Firmware Issue and he would send an email to the Firmware Engineers in India. He sounded very doubtful that the issue would get resolved anytime soon. At $550 plus tax per device I expect better. In all actuality it is the JBL name that is getting run through the mud from a person, policy or procedure that is not being followed.

Since they don’t allow you to edit/update reviews. I’m doing another one.... before posting the last review, I did try to get my problem fixed via customer service...with no solution. I was told to wait for the firmware update (or more specifically the update kept failing). Today I was able to finally update the speakers.... and guess what? The bluetooth still skips and jumps all over the place..... really JBL!!!!!! Why push out a firmware update that doesn’t fix the problem? I feel like packing these up and sending them back.... I love all my other JBL products, but $1100 for the set, they are missing the mark....I love everything else about them.... feel free to reach out to me to help you beta test the next firmware update before you push it out.... Here’s my partial setup....

I had high hopes for these speakers. The good: They sound great, battery lasts a long time, very light. The bad: The bluetooth sucks!!!!!! I already own the eon g2 10’s and these sound better, imho, with the 8” woofer. The only reason I purchased these are for the bluetooth/wireless features. But the glitches and cut outs are a deal breaker. I’d like to use these for a dinner or cocktail hour, but can’t with the bluetooth uses. I’m back do using my wired stuff until JBL fixes the bluetooth connectivity. I never run into problems with my JBL portable Extreme 2.... JBL fix this!!!!!!!

This is a great compact speaker so far. It has great sound, low end bass, and it is very light weight. The number of inputs is great, and bluetooth connectivity worked well. I have yet to fully test the battery life, but so far it seems to hold up. The ONE issue is that the app doesn't work for me at all. I can install it, and it loads up - but it doesn't detect any speakers (I have 2 of them). I have an android, ver 7.0. The app loads fine, it just doesn't help at all with the speakers which is a shame because I really want to operate in stereo mode with bluetooth. The way it works now, I can only connect to one speaker, and I have to use the through line to connect to the other speaker....but that just gives me double mono. Other people don't seem to have an issue with the app, so I wonder what the problem is here.

I had high hopes for this unit. Everything is great except that if goes to sleep if music / sound is not played for a specific amount of time. This sucks hopefully I can send it back.

I bought one unit and the system exceeded my expectations!!! The sound was excellent, I loved the features on the app, especially the EQ. I decided to buy another unit to use together and this is where I started having issues!!!!! The bluetooth broadcast hardly works and it has been extremely glitchy and difficult to pair the two systems in stereo mode. Then when I finally got the two to sync together, there was no function to adjust system together. I had to adjust the master fader, input gain, and make sure that they were eq'd the same to make sure they were playing exact. I even tried just adjusting the "host" unit to see if it was adjust the remote unit and it didn't. I hope JBL fixes these issue with an app update in the near future, otherwise trying to use two units together is almost useless.

This unit is very comparable to the Bose S1.Overall sound sound and projection.The set up is a bit complicated but it can be dialed in nicely when you figure it out. The app is very worthwhile and really adds to the unit's versatility. A very good product for the price.

I unboxed the system and was impressed by its features and fairly lightweight. I plugged it in and the green power button lit up but went out but the system's front power light stayed on. I noticed the battery was also charging and I plugged in both my portable CD player to play [I]Skaggs & Rice[/I], and my Yamaha LL-TA TransAcoustic. I adjusted the various knobs and heard a really good amplification of the CD's music and also of my Yamaha LL-TA's guitar tone. No problems with the tone and volume of this JBL system's amplification process! The problem was that I couldn't power-off the speaker as the Power Button didn't do anything. Also, unplugging the JBL just switched the unit to its battery-power mode which of course with a defective Power Button couldn't be switched off either. I left the system, as is, overnight, and looking at it this morning reveals that everything is now off and can't be turned back on! I'm going to peruse the JBL website for any Troubleshooting information that may be available but at this time it looks like I'll ship the JBL EON ONE Compact back to Sweetwater for a refund or exchange. I'm not sure, however, if I want another JBL Compact as this first one isn't inspiring any confidence in the initial units being sold.
