JBL - PartyBox Encore Essential

For 150-200$ look out for a partybox encore essential (used or not) this is the only portable speaker that has heavy bass). Or even look out for some used 100 series partybox

Good luck finding what you want. I would guess that you need the next "class" of unit. If the flip is 10 or 12" long and 4" tall, I would expect you want something that is 12" x 12" x 10" or so. The size of a small guitar amplifier. Every time you double your distance from the source, the sound level drops 6 dB. You are probably wanting something that is 15 or 20 dB louder than what you have now, which means going way up in power and in displacement/cone area. Something with at least an 8" woofer and a real midrange is a good start. Something like the PartyBox Encore Essential, or the PartyBox 110 would almost certainly do what you want. But neither will fit in a normal sized duffle bag. You might look through this list of the 6 best "party speakers". The UE Hyperboom seems like it might be the ticket for you.

Jbl partybox encore essential if youre on a budget. Just keep it plugged when in use as the battery is dog water. Sound quality and loudness is unmatched for its size though. 

OP, Ignore some of the comments suggesting small sized BT speakers for outdoor usage. Go for the JBL Partybox Encore Essential with eyes closed, it's available under 15k on Flipkart/Amazon.

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.

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.

I just bought the JBL party box essential 79.99 at ross

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

I like the earfun uboomX or the party box encore.

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

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.
