Jbl Encore Essential. You can get it refurbished on Amazon for $199. JBL portable party speaker with amazing sound, 6-hour battery life, and easy-to-carry handle for on-the-go fun. Others are loving it! https://a.co/d/0ikBYfTM
Don't think you're "missing" anything... The PB OTG ESS just isn't an amazing speaker-- I've heard most of JBL's lineup and the Encore / Encore Essential are much better. IIRC according to FCC filings the OTG is actually built with "off the shelf" parts from Eastech while I believe most other JBL's have somewhat custom parts.
Please note that the PARTYBOX is in a completely different category compared to the CHARGE5. If you're looking to **fill a large room or outdoor space with loud sound & bass, I'd definitely go for the PARTYBOX (JBL advertises the PARTYBOX to fill a tennis-court sized space indoors or outdoors)** especially since you already have UE BOOM for portable usage. The CHARGE5 is going to be an excellent & noticeable upgrade to your UE BOOM (and so will the CHARGE6, also going for \~30% off depending on location) but it's still a medium-sized portable speaker-- as far as I'm aware, there's no moores law or anything of the sort in the speaker industry: we've generally been getting & using the same principles to build transducers for nearly a century now. If you're looking for a good in-between option, the new BOOMBOX4 gets just as loud as the PARTYBOX CLUB 120 (albiet with some noticeable distortion on select tracks) but lacks the mic/guitar inputs: in exchange you get much better durability (IP68 vs IPX4).
Hello, personally for the same use as you I took a JBL PartyBox essential when I want big sound and otherwise for when I travel I took a Sony ult field 5 which costs less than 300 euros! I have a reloop mixtour pro controller and an iPad and I'm on djay pro
Sucede algún curioso, tenía un jbl clip 4 de 5w y para uso personal era excelente, música de fondo o ambientar para 4 personas , al perderse compre un ult field 1 de 30w, este era más potente y portátil, lo lleve al río y sonaba muy bien ambientaba música como para 8 personas pero al llevarlo al mar cambio totalmente,en la playa apenas podíamos escucharlo bien a un par de metros, el Sony ult field 1 me lo robaron y considere comprar uno de 50w como el xiaomi-sound-party o ult field 3, el problema es la batería, tenía un party BOX encore essential 1 y ese no falla por sus bajos y potenciapero igual el problema es la batería, he leído algo y si quieres algo potente y buena batería podría ser el LG xboom xg9qbk ó soundcore boom 2 de 80w ambos lo he buscado en mi país pero cuesta parecido a un jbl boombox 4 y es mucha la diferencia de potencia, suerte
Estoy en el mismo dilema hermano. El Boombox 4 está un poco elevado de precio aquí, yo estoy casi que decidiendo entre comprar el Encore essential 2 o el Club 120.
Me too, bro, I'm super self-conscious about the bass, that's what scares me. I love it when it has super deep bass. But I don't think the Encore Essential or the Club 120 will have any problems with that.
I've tried the Boombox 4 and it does sound powerful and loud, yes! But the bass doesn't really resonate in the room, in the walls, like I'd like.
