Encore

I like the job encore. Much bigger but has loads of bass.

I like the earfun uboomX or the party box encore.

I have a encore 2 its very good for the price.

The boombox 4 rivals the partybox encore. If you want portability get the bb4. Trust me when i say you won't be disappointed if your wanting bass

Is fatter but not necessarily bigger. Its just an odd shape to carry. The encore does get louder overall but the bb4 is easier the carry

Getting good sound Outdoors is tricky. You want to get the speakers up high and spread out for dispersion but bass likes to be clustered together on the ground or against boundary walls to have the most impact. I have the Large Onn and it is ok for a big plastic speaker but think I should have spent more on a JBL Encore 2.

You can sometimes get a pair of Encores on sale for what a single JBL Boombox is selling for. ($400-$500) Good bass but not "boomy". New JBL Extreme 5 is $400! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U84fyF48XMo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U84fyF48XMo)

You can always turn down a louder speaker. The smaller speakers would just be annoying to me personally. Zero bass outdoors! I would just want to turn it off if you pushed those pitiful little BT speakers past 50% and with 25 people it would just be added noise. I would not want to listen to anything smaller than a JBL Encore/ Tribit Blast/ect. If there is a wind or background noise it is hard to hear the vows or any officiating and a mic will allow people to speak normally instead of yelling to a group.

Don’t fall victim to to the ai hate. I have had multiple JBL speakers throughout the years from charge 3 and charge 4 to party boxes and have never had any trouble with any of them. If there is any truth to the fires it probably fake shit you buy off of temu

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 use it as a preamp going into a JBL party box when I want to play electric at the river. Works great! I also play bass and works great for that as well!
