  • The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 is amazing!
Style: Speaker
The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 is amazing! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep, powerful bass that fills the room, perfect for any party or gathering. It’s super easy to connect via Bluetooth, and the portability makes it convenient to take anywhere. The lights add a fun vibe, and the battery life lasts for hours. Definitely worth it if you love great music and a lively atmosphere. JBL never disappoints! ... show more

  • A little expensive, but definitely a great portable speaker compared to the JBL 320
Style: Speaker
I have a JBL 320 and it's amazing. However, I wanted a smaller and more portable speaker. With that said, the JBL Encore Essential 2 definitely fills that role. At first I was worried if it would be loud enough and debated if I should've gotten the JBL 120 from Costco; but after receiving the Encore Essential 2 and testing it out, I'm so glad I kept it. It's more than loud enough for a living room / back yard, the sound quality is great and there is still a good amount of bass, and lastly, it's SO easy to carry around. It's missing a lot of physical buttons/knobs, but you can connect to it via app and adjust any settings you need (equalizer and microphone settings). It doesn't have a removable battery, but its 15 hour battery life is more than enough. I have the JBL microphones and use this speaker for karaoke all the time ... show more

  • Wonderful and portable
Style: Speaker
It’s a wonderful piece of audio bliss! The sound, the loudness, the bass is real! Love this speaker with a passion! It’s light and very portable!!! There are types of this speaker, the other one Encore 2 has mics and no strobe light. Again, amazing audio sound quality!

  • Definitely recommend!
Style: Speaker
Best wireless speaker ever. I can’t believe I waited so long to purchase it. The sound is amazing, it’s easy to connect your phone to and the battery lasts forever, even with the lights on. It does have little weight to it. I purchased a speaker bag to help carry & protect it.

  • Bass good for its size
Style: Speaker
I listened to this speaker for about 20 minutes. I turned the volume up 25%. The mids/highs sound nice and crisp. The lows sound good for its size. I had a problem with the bass boost button, it would not work consistently. If I pressed it firmly, it would change the bass and the light behind the button would become light/dim or off depending on how many times I pressed it. But if I pressed it normal, it would do nothing however it did click no matter if I pressed it firm or light. I currently own a PartyBox 310, 320, 520 and the bass button works with a firm or light press but not the Essential 2. I returned it. ... show more

  • Superb sound quality. Massive bass.
Style: Speaker
Absolutely blown away at the performance of this speaker. Bluetooth speakers typically sacrifice sound quality for portability; that is not the case with this speaker. Sound is super rich, vibrant, crisp, clear and the bass it produces is just mind blowing. With the speaker positioned towards the middle of a room, the bass is good, but when you put it in the corner of a room and then sit in the adjacent corner of the room, the bass is MASSIVE. It sounds like a car sound system with two 12 inch subwoofers in the back. I have always been a lover of bass and that is one of the most important aspects of any sound system for me. That being said, this speaker fully satisfies my bass craving, 100%. In doors i typically listen to the speaker at 25-50% volume, its so loud that I don't need to go higher. I would never buy any other partybox after listening to this thing. If this speaker isn't loud enough for your use of it, buy another one for stereo effect. Seriously, if you're thinking of getting the 120, 320, 520, 720, don't. Get 2 or 3 of these. Trust me. ... show more

  • A++ Amazing Sound! Sound quality of a Bluetooth Speaker costing $500-$1000
Style: Speaker
Absolutely amazing! Deep bass, crips trebles, customizable sound with the EQ and two levels of bass boost. I bought this on sale for $250 and would pay $500 for the JBL Encore 2! I have the Bose Soundlink Max, the JBL Boombox 3, and tried the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A5 (about $2,000 with tax), and this Encore 2 blows that AWAY -- not even in the same universe. I also consider myself a "V" shape sound listener and an audiophile. This is an amazing value and the sound and loudness of this speaker punches many weight classes above its weight. If JBL made this in a more refined "home speaker" package, this would sell like hotcakes! ... show more
