We love karaoke so the wireless mic is awesome
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm astonished at how well this sounds and how long the battery lasts. I use it to stream music and also play stored playlists from a USB drive for outdoor parties by the pool or in my yard or balcony and it's loud enough for the area. In addition the wireless karaoke PA, which is portable has remarkable bass response and full-range surround stereo sound reproduction. The stand out feature for me is the lightshow up front! The amazing and dazzling lights are very immersive giving the room a party vibe. If you’re looking for a way to broadcast across the entire gymnasium or from the stage-this will do it, and comes with two wireless microphones “We love karaoke so the wireless mic made it easy to pass the mic around the group”, and a phone app that can control all functions including light show and sound effect such as clapping, booing and gong noises. The best thing is, it’s portable. It has a handle integrated into the top and can be transported in the cargo space of and SUV/Van or even in the backseat of a sedan.

JBLEncore is a small speaker with powerful sound.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great smaller portable speaker that packs a powerful sound. It has the same quality as the bigger speakers offered by JBL however, I like how it doesn't have to be plugged in at all times to be used. You plug it in to charge the speaker and unplug to take it wherever you desire. It offers the lights and bass boost like the larger party boxes which comes in handy in smaller spaces to light up a room. I also like how you can wirelessly pair this speaker with another JBL party box to spread out the sound over very large ranges. This party box also comes with two wireless microphones so that you can DJ or do karaoke. Overall, this is a great portable speaker to use for many functions, small or large.

Love it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a powerful speaker! Don’t let the size fool you... The Partybox encore won’t disappoint. I also own the Partybox 710 and I would say that the Partybox encore is basically a mini version of that speaker. What I really love is that the Encore is able to connect to my 710, or another encore speaker. I really like that it has a rechargeable battery. I used it for about a week until it needed to be charged again. It only took about 3 hours to charge and you can use it while it’s charging. It does have a decent weight to it, which is nice, but may be too heavy to lug around with you for long periods of time. The JBL Partybox app makes it simple to adjust your bass, treble, etc. The microphones that came along with the encore are high quality & connect immediately when turned on. The speaker also has an option for extra bass & punchy bass.... which is my fav! The light show feature makes this speaker really cool. You can also control the lights through the app and setup preset options. Overall I really love this speaker & have been using it ever since I got it. Can’t wait to take it to the beach! Definitely recommend!!!

Bad battery.
Battery is something to be desired. I have multiple JBL speakers and the batteries are all awesome. My 1st gen boombox lasts forever. This this only lasts 3 hours max. I’m talking no lights not using the mics, just music at 55% volume. I’m going on o send back and see if I just got a bad unit.

JBL Encore + Apple TV = Karoke Bliss
*A Lot* of bang (and bass!) for your buck! Bought one and was so impressed by the sound and high quality wireless mics l, that I had to buy a second one when they went on sale. Syncing up 2 of these for stereo sound and now having 4 wireless mics that all work together, makes for one rocking karaoke night. Connect these to an 3rd gen Apple TV 4K (with the “Sing” Karoke songs) and you have everything a professional would have. LED lights and app integration are also well done and allow for customization. Wow!

PartyBox Encore
The speaker sounds remarkable, considering it’s compact size. I have now paired it with an Encore essential and love the full sound of the pair. The only negative comment is that the heavy metal microphone housings transmit handling noise to the mic element, changing the mic from hand to hand can be heard clearly through the speaker, even with mic level set to approx mid range.

Huge sound! My new go to speaker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Partybox Encore is my new go to speaker. Connecting is super easy. It is quite a bit smaller than my other Partybox speaker but the sound is huge! It’s the crystal clear sound I expect and the bass is out of this world. The speaker is splash proof so no need to worry if it’s overcast or if you are using it at a pool or the beach. Because of the size it’s easy to carry. It stays charged for hours. Love controlling it with the app!

Battery life not as advertised
I Have always purchased another brand of Bluetooth speaker and this is my first JBL product..
The unit has great sound but the advertised 10 hour battery life is very misleading..
How can you make this claim..??
I totally understand battery life on these products are dependent on how the speaker is used but after a week of owning the partybox I have only got under 4 hours from full charge which is unacceptable given JBL specs are up to 10 hours..
I didn't use the lights or included microphones either so would assume battery life would be much less if these features were used..
I played volume at about 50% with deep bass via the app and would expect at least 6-7 hours based on these settings..
Extremely disappointed and would NOT recommend if you are going to use the battery more than mains power..!

Amazing speaker quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed using this speaker. It feels really rugged and the sound it produces is amazing. It has amazing amount of bass and depth to the sound. It is a bit heavy to be considered a portable speaker but it really is worth carrying along. It just has so much better and fuller sound and the even though its this powerful the battery still lasts quite a while. The microphones are also pretty great. They feel so solid in the hand as they're fully metal and I only have 2 issues with them. 1 is that they are not rechargeable which would have been nice and the other is that the sound they produce only comes out of the partybox encore. When you link it to another speaker with their TWS feature the microphones sound doesn't come out of the other speaker as well. Im sure this could be fixed in software but this is really the only true oversight I came across. The speaker itself is really a quality item and it feels like it.

Awesome Lightshow, Small Size, Great Sound,
The JBL Partybox is super easy to Set Up and perfect for a Backyardparty or all Kind of Outdoor Activities. We used it in our Backyard and liked the Microphone, so all our Guests could hear us talking to them. I also took ist to the Gym and our Gym Sessions to the Park. The Sound is very smooth and clear and the wireless microphone not only for Karaoke Nights very usefull. The Lightshow is also a great eyecatcher. We sure will use the JBL Encore many more times.

Such INCREDIBLE sound from this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Partybox Encore sounds amazing. Connected my phone with Bluetooth and played some songs for my kids and the loved it. Downloaded the Partybox app to change the lights on the speaker. I haven’t synced this with another Partybox, but looking forward to doing that in the future. I would recommend this for anyone looking for more sound than some of the smaller pill shaped Bluetooth speakers.

Sturdy PartyBox with great features
I bought the JBL PartyBox Encore a while ago, mainly to use at my birthday party and small gatherings with friends. It arrived very well and safely packaged. The setup of the box turned out to be quite simple. To play music with it you simply need to connect your device of choice (I used my smartphone) with it, which worked without issues. You can use the Box itself to control the volume of the music, or the App, which also lets you control other features e.g. the light show which accompanies the music. I was really pleased with the sound quality and the light effects, which helped create a fun atmosphere for my party. We also couldn’t resist trying the karaoke feature of the box. The package comes with a microphone and fitting batteries, so there’s no need for extra purchases to get going. The box itself also allows for different control options for the karaoke, e.g. volume and echo control. All in all I was quite happy with the PartyBox and how it elevated the party experience.

Great Sound
Pros:
-great sound
-long battery life
-microphone with echo
-great light show
functionality
Cons:
-weight
The JBL Partybox comes with an adapter, a microphone including two batteries, as well as an instructions handbook.
There’s also an app supported which connects without any problems and works incredibly well.
The JBL Partybox Encore convinces through its great bass, incredible sound and light show functionality.
The light show can also be controlled really well, using the app.
The karaoke function is a lot of fun, thanks to the included microphone, pitch, bass and echo can also be adjusted in this application, it’s almost to perfect.
Thanks to its 10 hours of battery life, this box is perfect for any party, regardless of location.
This box is well worth its price.
The JBL Partybox Encore makes for a great addition to any party and we absolutely recommend it to anyone out there.

The Best Bluetooth Music Box
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Partybox Encore is hands down the best boombox we have heard in years. We play a lot of Pickleball, we hold parties at the lake, and our kids love karaoke. There has been so many products at the Pickleball courts as people always try to bring their speakers that everyone can hear. The Partybox does exactly that and more.
I will start off describing the Partybox itself. It is fairly light for it's size and for the amount of sound it puts out, you would think it would be a tank. The handle to carry the box is ergonomically correct and very comfortable. The power, lights, bluetooth, and bass boost are easy to depress and work flawlessly. The volume knob turns easily and so do the Karaoke knobs. The Aux In and USB are nicely covered from the elements by a rubberized cover as well as the power cord adapter area. The Partybox sits securely on the ground and doesn't vibrate when the music is turned up.
The lights are an added touch. The LED blinking lights are bright and strobe in a nice pattern. There is way to many options you can select for how the colored lights and LED strobe lights flicker at a certain pattern. The colors are bright and vibrant!! At night, the lights are a great addition to this music box.
The included 2 metal, high quality microphones transmit to the music box with ease and they sound very clear. We downloaded the app so when a song is played you get to read the lyrics. Adjusting the eq for the karaoke is a nice added touch and helps with adjusting deep or high voices with the type of music being played.
Now for the sound this box puts out....it is crazy good how nice this little box sounds. The bass boost adds to the deep tone or leaving it without bass boost the speaker is very clear with high and low frequency sounds. I kid you not when I say the sound is impressive!!! Over the last 4 days I have take the Partybox to the Pickleball courts, all the players now expect me to play music from this nice system. The compliments we now get make the other people that use to bring their speakers envious of our JBL Partybox Encore. We continue to be amazed at the sound quality and portability of such a great sounding system.
There is one thing I wish this box had incorporated with its' design. The power cord doesn't have a place to store it. Having a nice light storage area with the rubberized cover would have allowed owners to no lose or misplace the cord since there isn't a dedicated storage place for it. To keep it with the box we roll it up and push it under neath the handle. This works but a storage place would be better. Everything else about this box we down right LOVE!!!!

The best speaker ever!
This speaker has it all: quality sound, LED lights, a strobe light every time you talk into the microphone, voice effects and…bass boost! I love it.
It’s lightweight, has a convenient handle and you can put the microphones securely in the gaps of said handle.
It’s too easy.
Microphones: are great! They have a solid feel to them and produce a clear sound. I recommend a firm grip on them as they make a “thump” sound when they’re constantly moved or tapped.
This is the best thing I’ve ever purchased. 10/10 recommend

I take use it near the pool, while working out, family gatherings and also at parties with friends. JBL’s signature Bass is what makes this product a must have for any music lovers.

Amazing sound!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gem is amazing! It has amazing color schemes you can choose and it has the ability to have it sync with the music. It holds the charge for quite a long time. I didn't time it, but I've used it multiple times and still haven't had to charge it. The microphones are very good quality. My kids have enjoyed singing along and ad-libbing to the songs.
I really only have 2 complaints or recommendations for future models. There isn't a place to store the microphones. If it's just going to sit in one place, they can rest in the area of the carry handle. However, if you are transporting this anywhere, there isn't a place to store them with the unit so they don't roll around or get lost.
Also, the charge cord doesn't have a place to store it or even something to wrap it around so it stays with the machine and doesn't get misplaced.
If these two issues could be resolved, it would be the best ever!

Small package delivers big sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This small cube speaker (roughly 12") is lightweight and portable, but the sound is full and rich like you would expect from JBL.
I love the rechargeable battery, gives many hours of listening in remote spots like the beach or camping. Easy to read and see battery level indicator is very much appreciated.
The true wireless connection to other Partybox speakers is easy to use and works great, the only thing was the volume goes up on both speakers, so it was kind of hard to balance the sound, I will experiment more with this feature. Bluetooth connections are also easy to connect and use various devices, we use this daily as our Alexa speaker.
A very nice surprise was the included microphones, they are instantly paired when you turn the speaker on. This is very handy for us, we use our Partybox for presentations and gatherings. Having the microphone volume right on top makes it easy to adjust the sound on the fly.
Overall, the quality, sound, and ease of use makes this speaker our first choice for parties and gatherings.

Excellent as a PA system
I bought this speaker to use as a PA system. I was worried that it would only work with the echo effect as all of the other party speakers I bought did, but the echo is adjustable (allows me to turn it off completely) and the sound is crisp and clear. The music speaker function is also great, with adjustable bass and good volume reach and an on/off switch for the lights. I can use it for fun and business. I’d recommend this product!

I'm more than happy with the JBL product the sound quality is superb. Overall, I’m very satisfied with both the product and the service.

Getting the party started!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I start... Partybox Encore is a great little speaker for everyone to enjoy! To be honest it was bigger and heavier than expected but light enough for my 4 year old son to carry it around. The sound coming out from this speaker fills up the whole room or backyard, it even rattles the walls around my home. The JBL Partybox app lets you easily control the EQ settings and I was able to dial in the sound to my preference. Speaking of the Partybox app it is fun since it also lets me control DJ effects, Karaoke (more on that later), LED lights, and sound EQ settings. I don't do Karaoke but my kids do and they have a blast doing it with the two microphones that come included with the Partybox Encore. They come paired right out of the box and the speaker has knobs to control the mic's bass, treble, echo and volume. It was very simple setting up Bluetooth and the streaming service I use with the apple logo has lyrics so the family loves signing along to Encanto. It is also nice that the speaker has batteries so this means I can take it with me and not have to worry about an electrical outlet. The power button comes with an easy to read charging indicator so it is super easy to know when the battery is at 100%. The Partybox Encore quickly became my new favorite speaker because of the portability and sound it has, along with the included microphones and the LED effects this speaker will definitely get the party going!

Perfect speaker for a medium party + Karaoke!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker, to my understanding, is building on the Partybox. The main improvement was done to the battery, which now lasts 1.5-2 times longer.
And it shows! Even with lights enabled, I easily get 8-10 hours out of the speaker. I haven't tried to turn off the light effects, but I would imagine it will last even longer.
Of course, the sound is great: it's lively, hits the right highs and mids. Bass is adjustable, and I like it the most on the first level of Bass Boost. It makes the speaker amazing outdoors, but can be too much indoors. The second level of the boost does something to the bass, feels like it's boosting and cutting it off at the same time. It just doesn't sound refined.
The included two microphones work great! They reproduce voices accurately and feel nice in the hand. The use as a karaoke machine is niche, but it's always there if (when?) you need it.
The lights are fun and entertain both adults and kids. It's cool that they flash in sync with the music. Somehow, they flash even in sync with voices from the microphones - weird but cool.
The speaker has all the adjustments of the bigger models and is very easy to use and control. Bluetooth pairs immediately and works at rather long distances.
Overall, this is a great speaker for both outdoor and indoor parties. The included microphones are fun for children and could be very useful for adults. Battery life is very good, and sound is quality, as usual. Strongly recommend.

Perfect speaker with mics for events
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a speaker that I could also use with microphones for an upcoming event to play music and to amplify a few speeches, and this speaker does everything I needed and then some. This speaker packs a powerful punch for its size and is remarkably straightforward to use.
Once the speaker was unpacked and plugged in to start charging, set up was simple. This speaker comes with two wireless microphones (no need to order another one), and they were already paired, so all I had to do was add batteries and turn them on, and they were ready to go. There is a separate volume control for the microphones so that you can turn them up or down separate from the music or anything else that you are playing on the speakers. The mics are very clear, and they will be perfect for speeches at our upcoming event.
The sound quality is also pretty good, and you can make adjustments to add bass boost or to increase or decrease the bass and treble, which gives you a little flexibility to adjust the sound to match your preferences. This speaker fills the space with found and has the high quality that I have come to expect from JBL. This also has substantial battery life and is easy to carry, making it easy to use anywhere you need it. There are several options for lights that move with the music in a color pattern of your choice if that adds to the environment of your event, but you can also cycle through the options and just the lights off if your event calls for something a little more serious.
If you’re looking for a speaker for an outdoor movie night, a backyard barbecue, karaoke night, an event where you need to be able to play music and give a few speeches, are teaching in a classroom where you need a little amplification to be heard easily, or are just looking for a great speaker to use every day with a really simple setup, this is the one for you!

The do it all speaker that packs a big punch!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this thing is a little beast! First impressions, the packaging of the Partybox and build quality overall are excellent. Both the mics and the Partybox feel heavy and feel very durable. A cool feature is the lightshow that reacts to the music and also shows you the volume level as you turn it up or down. You can also completely customize the lights and the music with the Partybox app. Love that it's water resistant so it can be used outside or by the pool worry free.
The same night I received the Partybox, it instantly became a party. It connected to my phone without a hitch and I was amazed once I turned it on. Music quality is great and the bass even without the bass boost is super punchy. The mics are so easy to setup and the adjustability on the go is so easy and useful, it made singing along so fun. I'm tempted to get another one so they can be paired together and double the awesome! I've never had a speaker that puts out such high quality music and bass, while still being portable, let alone also being a karaoke machine! Would definitely recemmond!

Battery life only a few hours
The sound is good. The mic however picks up a-lot of noise, even when you are switching from one hand to another it’s quite noisy. And the battery life in NOT at all as advertised at 10 hrs. I am testing it now and have used up 30% battery without using bass, lights and at medium/low volume.

Great volume & sound for a small speaker
I am a teacher of Ballroom & Latin dancing and recently bought this for classes. I'm really happy with it - it is much more lightweight than my old speaker, loud enough for fairly busy classes with good sound quality, easy to transport and bluetooth to ipod works well.
