PartyBox Encore

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.

Until you switch to a JBL PartyBox.

Have you listened to a JBL PartyBox in person?

Look on eBay. I’ve purchased two refurbished ones for a steep discount and when they show up they’re basically brand new.

No way you’d pick this over a PartyBox. I tried a boombox out and it was underwhelming so I returned it. I tried a PartyBox and now I have three of them.

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

If you like bass why not get a PartyBox? Even the small essential thumps harder than one of these.

I think they’re great. Check eBay. They usually have the best deals.

Skip to 11 minutes. He goes over the sound. PartyBox wins in the bass category. [https://youtu.be/BTxP1CVS0I8?si=H4mQNmJB2Dnvnfd_](https://youtu.be/BTxP1CVS0I8?si=H4mQNmJB2Dnvnfd_)

2x jbl partybox encore

I like the earfun uboomX or the party box encore.

Knowing your price point, if speaker size, weight matters much for you, if you need it fully water proof or just water resistant, what your budget is, etc would all be helpful factors if you added that info to your post. If you want Deep Bass then JBL never really fails in that department. I have JBL encores and they are great in Deep bass, especially if you turn the Equalizer bass up in the JBL app and if you turn on bass boost and then run another bass boost EQ on your listening app, for me that app is Spotify. Outdoors it’s good bass, indoors it’s insanely good bass! Equivalent to having a subwoofer

Considering what the speakers are, only a 5.25 driver two tweeters and 100 watts RMS. It truly is insane with how much bass they output! I have a full sound system in my car with 12” subwoofer and with the two Encores in the cabin they are pretty close to comparable in bass and maybe even better sound quality.

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.

They are all are useless in my opinion only needed speaker is a og JBL encore

Sure, all the sony and most jbl partyboxes have 1 mic in and 1 mic/guitar in, which of course can be used with other instruments akso.

Most jbl and sony partyboxes can do that, with sony even their boomboxes line ult field 7. You could also look for radios if you want a display and/or remote if you want to play a lot from usb, this is much more convenient to navigate trough songs.

Get a jbl encore at least. Its about the same price as xtrme 4, but much louder.

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.

Ty for following up and addressing this. I have 10+ battery powered JBl speakers from flip to PartyBox in my house

Joke lang, OP! Haha. JBL PartyBox lang kasi gamit namin. Pero di ko siya feel sa movies. Mas ok pa rin soundbars.
