JBL - Encore

JBL Partybox Encore, it's way bigger than most other mentioned. But sounds good and has a lot of bass.

Refurb JBL PartyBox Encore from their official eBay account. It’s big but sounds incredible and they often have sales, got mine for $120.

Best bang for buck IMO

It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy.

Yeah that's my issue ; really wanna just get the 6 because of the quality, not the BS but now seeing the Soundcores are louder , idk if I should just get an Encore instead of wait and actually get a nice Bookshelf pair for my player.

Oh absolutely 💯💯💯 That's why I was alluding to that instead of getting the charge 6 like I've been planning too but now that I've seen the soundcore does go louder. I mindswell spend the extra whatever for the encore with the %20 off it's not much more but again at that price point I really need to just get some speakers for my table

I have a lot of speakers, probably too many. My favorite portable speaker that gets loud and easy to move around, the JBL PartyBox Encore. For being half the size of a PartyBox 310, it’s plenty loud.

The Encore isn’t that big, easy to travel with.

Jbl partybox encore is the best bass speaker for that money.

If bass and loudness are your only concern, get a party box! Whatever the largest size is in your budget. I have an encore and certainly can feel the bass if indoors, but nothing to crazy. I also have a 320 and that thing you can feel inside or out, and it will absolutely rattle your walls and cabinets if your inside.

I like the earfun uboomX or the party box encore.

Never buy a speaker made by a battery company. The corners they are willing to cut will be immense since they have 0 reputation in audio. They have nothing to loose and your money to gain. Do yourself a favor and get a JBL Partybox encore or 120 and it will guarantee destroy this speaker. JBL won’t cut corners on the important audio gear. JBL’s packaging is a plain cardboard box with a large sticker of the speaker infront. Those are the corners JBL would cut not on the amp speakers or housing.

Get a JBL partybox encore essential / encore. Trust me on that, the one you mentioned is a big no no.

Glad you showed a real proof of how the sony is🤣 Well, you will get more punch out of a JBL partybox encore, Partybox 120, even boombox 3 / 3 wifi, also Harman Kardon go + play 3.

Brane x is the only thing out there that can play low enough to handle riddm/dubstep/freeform bass music and be moved around by a "dainty person" full stop. Modern bass music can dip below 30hz and the brane x is the only speaker that is equipped to do it justice thats less than like 3ft tall. My harmon kardon go play 3 does a decent job as well and is easier to find locally. Same with the jbl partybox encore. But the brane x plays a full half octave lower. Note that the battery life of the brane x (and most bt speakers) at full volume isn't going to be that long. You can solve this with a portable power box if you have the space. I use a Milwaukee top up inverter and milwaukee power tool batteries to extend the battery of the go play 3 all day at any volume. Best of luck Edit: just to keep expectations in check, no bluetooth speaker is going to give you full body vibrations or whatever, you might feel a little thump in your chest indoors. Ive heard a partybox ultimate at full tits and its a fart in the wind compared to what you might be hoping for.. but the brane x will play all the notes in the music and sound satisfying.

If those are your only options, go with either one of the Encores but none of these will be ideal for filling such a large space with sound. For reference the Partybox120 would be the minimum I'd reccomend. The XTREME4 is not a bad speaker but it won't be able to fill the space and it sounds very sharp and compressed at high volumes-- not exactly a pleasant sound especially for bass-heavy music. The Encores get slightly louder IIRC and sound better at high volumes (given the area you're looking to fill, you'll probably be using them close to max volume). If you don't need the microphones or the easily replaceable battery, you can save some money and go with the Encore Essential 2. Alternatively, I think a portable PA speaker may be better suited for your use case. A small portable PA like the Alto Busker or Mackie Thump Go will likely get louder than the Encores while still retaining the portability sounding good enough. And if you have more room in your budget check out the Bose S1 Pro or JBL EON ONE Compact for even better sound.

Jbl encore has the deepest bass in its class

I have em. Sound is ok at best. Fine for some background music while working on something the garage/driveway, but almost no bass, and not loud enough for any sort of gathering. For a fraction of the cost, a decent Bluetooth speaker would be MUCH better, and more useful for life in general.

I just don’t see the value in the tailgate speakers. They’re ok at best in my opinion. Not very loud, not much bass, rarely useful, and WAY overpriced at $800. The sub sounds excellent and I use it daily, so I’m very pleased with that purchase. But if I had it to do over again, I’d get something like a portable JBL party box over the tailgate speakers, which is half the price, 5x the sound power and clarity, and portable making it useful in many other situations beyond when I’m within listening distance of my tailgate.

As another commenter mentioned, about the only positive is the wow factor when showing off your truck. But any time spent using these will likely lead you to disappointment. I seriously can’t recommend the sub enough though. It’s not overpowering like a sound system from my teenage days, but compliments the existing stereo perfectly with just the right amount of bass, while the custom designed enclosure fits the truck perfectly and still creates a bit of storage space. Get the sub and a party box Bluetooth instead of the multipro and you’ll be pleased all the way around.

JBL party box, the bigger the mode, the better

I second the party box. Loudest I’ve heard not even being plugged in

JBL Party Box, biggest one you can afford. But honestly Id save more money and look into RCF JMix8, its not battery powered but it knocks good bass for the price and highly portable.

I brought a jbl party box with me in the plane. Actually fit in my carry on
