JBL - PartyBox 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.

I sing a lot. This is the best quality speaker for a quick singing moment. My setup is 65” TV, Apple TV, YouTube App, JBL Party Box w/ 2 mics. The gain on the mics is amazing.

I use the mics that came with the speaker. They’re quality mics. Just needed to tweak echo, base, etc.

For my setup, the JBL Partybox is connected to the AppleTV via Bluetooth.

This is the one I got: [link](https://www.jbl.com/party-speakers/JBLPBENCORE2MICAM.html?acctid=21700000001715200&dskeywordid=&lid=58700008337933431&dsproductgroupid=&product_id=JBLPBENCORE2MICAM&merchid=7763506&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=x&matchtype=&locationid=1018566&creative=&targetid=&campaignid=19899186644&adgroupid=%7D&kxconfid=unnmhyek8&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADsuWmkRkLBCrVzk9CGVzd-stH6ae&gclsrc=ds)

I got mine for $149 at Walmart (original price $399). I can’t believe it.

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

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.

if size don matter, 2 sony xv500. 2 jbl encore are half the size and a little cheaper and also good. XV500 has more more power, more details and can be linked to other sony speakers also. And cause they are higher, better if you want to put them just on the ground. For the encore you would need st table or chair or sth to put it on for good sound quality.

Yes it is woth it, i had 2 of them and it is by far the best value Partybox, bought them used for $300.

Yeah. Sucks that it only plays mono. But add another and you can get stereo. I have JBL PB encore and 320. While I don't get stereo when connecting them, they can independently produce stereo sound. To each his own, I suppose.

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

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.

I agree. For the price and quality of frequency range. Other option would be a Yamaha HS3’s with a sub.

The JBL partybox series have zero delay - if you plug into the daisy chain port

I've used 2 party box speakers as my main left/right and studio speakers as my monitors, with no discernable latency issues between the mains and monitors. NOTE: I had both partyboxes plugged into power, because I noticed that they are quieter and not ass punchy when running off their battery.

I use a JBL partybox. Has aux input, has a battery for portability (goes well with a portable FLX4) and has really good bass and is loud enough.

Singa made a video during Halloween where they featured a JBL: [https://youtube.com/shorts/tHW6meQfqIA](https://youtube.com/shorts/tHW6meQfqIA) They seem to be using the JBL PartyBox with microphones. I have used this myself and you just have to connect the Partybox through Bluetooth to your TV! No need for a mixer. I think Ultimate works in the same way. Then download the karaoke app on your TV or have it through a laptop that you connect with HDMI.

Soundboks works great. I'm in a traveling baseball team, and every team has speakers. Most of the speakers don't impress me. JBL PartyBox is a good option entry level with good sound quality and budget friendly. Different size options and different budget options as well. Soundboks seems to be the best option out there, but pricing seems a bit steep. You get the loudest DB in battery-powered speakers I can find with the loudest highs and bass. The sound quality is excellent. Bose S1 Pro I'm highly impressed with it. The output and size from such a small package it's really sounds impressive all around, definitely a winner in sound quality. Other than the 3 mentioned, either I haven't discovered another good portable battery-powered speaker option, or they're not impressive enough for me to research and look them up. So, for now, these 3 are my personal recommendations. If anyone has some additional input or recommendations, I'd love to see them. It is always good to know other options in the future.

JBL Partybox! Easy to cary with the handle, super powerful, excellent audio quality, good battery and can run on ac outlet, can be paired with other partybox and well build.
