Jbl encore essential party box
My honest opinion,
I bought it just sing karaoke with my friends.
Volume karaoke music is not that loud.
I barely could hear my voice singing.
Battery last 2-3 hours.
But it's a good thing that it was on sale close to $210
I just wanted to see how good was this party speaker.

I'm not satisfied with this product.

I wish JBL could build a 12 inch encore essential partybox.
With loud music,loud singing voice and a long lasting battery life.

Portable & fun
Love my latest speaker. The Encore Essential is another typical great JBL product. Small, light & portable yet packs a punch. Great sound and so much fun. We go camping a lot and the Encore Essential is just perfect before quiet time. The 1/4 in jack gives you an option to plug in a mic or instrument to expand your possibilities. I'll probably get the Encore this Black Friday and gift this Essential to a family member.

Very impressive sound!
Very impressed with this! I have high end audio equipment in my home because I appreciate the sound quality and performance of top tier equipment but I needed something for use at an RV camp site that needed to survive some rough and tumble and I wasn't willing to risk high-end gear. The JBL Encore Essential fit the bill perfectly. It sounds great - much better than it should for $299! Plenty loud enough with deep, rich bass and nice clarity throughout the mid and upper ranges. Not too heavy to lug around and tough enough to take a few knocks and splashes of water. Very impressed overall and would recommend this to anyone looking for a great sounding, rugged, low cost blutooth speaker.

JBL Partybox
The JBL Partybox is an essential piece of equipment for an party. With the box itself, I was able to host a graduation party and connect a microphone to it which saved me big money on a DJ. In addition, it's interface is easy to use, easy to charge, and is easy to move around. Overall, my experience with this party box is beyond pleasant and I will definitely consider getting a second one to make my parties twice as loud.

Great mobile speaker!
This speaker fits very well into the product line between true smaller sizes portable speakers, larger portable “boom boxes” and significantly larger semi-pro loud speakers. Plenty of volume, three powerful bass modes, light show options controllable from an app, a karaoke mode with mic jack, all in a rechargeable package that is perfect for indoor and outdoor parties. This may be my favorite speaker for it’s size, features, and price point.

Very pleased!
Have finally gotten to spend some time with this and I'm very pleased!

After dealing with a small charging issue and the weather finally breaking, i've had the chance to spend some time with this speaker!

I've used it at work, at home and outside while grilling!

Battery life is decent. Sound is great and has nice bass!

Overall, i'm happy with the speaker and most definitely recommend it!
