Reviews
JBL Partybox Encore Essential Portable Bluetooth Speaker is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 110.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound! Get one!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where to begin with this amazing speaker? Especially for it's copact size, the sound is amazing. The bass is as deep as you want it with two options of bass boost. Using the 'PARTYBOX' app gives even more options to change bass, mid and treble. The app gives Dj sound effects along with karaoke effects (bass, breble, echo). Now the lights...on the unit and app, I can control the light sequesnce. With the app, I can specify one color to be chosen to stay steady or looped. The unit itself is well constructed and easy to carry with its rubber lined handle. In short...this is a great speaker and I want another one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible Product - Cannot Recommend Enough! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Partybox Encore Essential is absolutely fantastic! From the moment this came out of the box, I haven't stopped using it. At first, I tried it just as a standalone speaker for my phone in the office. The sound is unbelievable and honestly, I could only put the sound up to ~70-80% before I was worried about the neighbors would complain. I also tried the speaker paired to the TV which was equally amazing. Movies were incredible getting to experience the theatre on my couch. The setup is incredibly simple with easy-to-access buttons on the top and a convenient fold-down panel access in the back for microphone and auxiliary feeds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Big sound, Small package ! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is great, it is very portable and easy to carry and sounds amazing. We used it on a beach trip and it was a huge hit because it was loud and full in sound to where everyone close to us could hear it. This box is nice that it has the microphone input so you could do sing a longs if you like. It does not come with the mic but we had one and tried it out and it was great. The light show that it displays beats and changes with the music. Overall I would highly recommend it great quality for the price and it packs a big punch for a small package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loud, clear, boomy and so fun! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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!! I love the choice of the bass boost especially outside. Inside, no need…this thing BOOMS! After friends and family got out of the pool we hooked up a mic in the back of the Encore and the kids sang along to the POP station…they had a blast. I love that the mic input has a “gain” and a volume knob. Made getting the right balance so easy. Oh…and we did all this on ONE charge…lasted all day and still had juice. I can’t wait to use this as our outdoor movie speaker this summer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Let the Bass Drop! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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. The handle at the top makes it so much easier to move around and the handle itself blends in nicely withing the speaker. The gloss trim around some of the edges makes this really nice to have displayed. I do have to say, my favorite part about this speaker is it's amazing sound clarity and punchy deep bass. I can't wait to show it off at my next family gathering this summer!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Doesn't get 6 hours on battery, only 2.5 hours I purchased this about 6 weeks ago. Nice sound however I don't know where they get 6 hours playing time as I only get 2.5 hours from full charge without the lights going.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely in love with this speaker!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely in love with this speaker! It is a party box basically cut in half and can produce the same amount of sound so it is definitely more convenient to bring around and really make your party “on the go”. The sound quality is astounding and the light show is always a sick bonus! I brought it to the football field to see how well it sounds outside in an open environment and people were telling me they can hear the music from the 2 fields away and they were extremely impressed to say the least. Next spot is the beach for a beach party! Overall an amazing speaker! It also has a microphone jack so lets see how my next karaoke night will go!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Party for one or many! I brought 2 of these 2 weeks ago and together they sound awesome with True Wireless Stereo. They do not roll around in the boot of my car compared to my JBL Boombox. Easy to carry around with both hands compared to the bigger Partyboxes. They do play louder when plugged into the mains power. Pro Tip .. put them next to a wall for amplify the bass port. JBL .. I would love a wireless microphone or microphone to be included for these babies for Kareoke at home ..or work when the on hold music breaks down.. I'll be prepared !

Can it connect a tv

Asked by: Dunc
Thanks for your question. You can connect the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential to to your TV via Bluetooth and a wired connection. However, we recommend connecting it to your TV using an AUX connection to avoid audio-video delays or latency instead of Bluetooth. You may need a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) if your TV doesn't have an AUX output to achieve this setup. While this is technically possible, our PartyBox isn't designed to provide the same audio-video experience as the soundbars.
