-
JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 is the perfect entry-level portable party speaker for those who want massive sound, fun lights, and all-day battery without the extra bells and whistles. It delivers 100W RMS JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost that intelligently enhances clarity and reduces distortion, so your music—from deep bass tracks to crisp vocals—sounds bold and balanced at any volume.
The dynamic lightshow features a vibrant RGB ring that pulses and syncs to the beat with colorful patterns and effects, turning any space into an instant party atmosphere. With up to 15 hours of playtime on a rechargeable Li-ion battery (charge in under 3.5 hours), plus IPX4 splashproof protection, it’s built for backyard BBQs, house parties, poolside hangs, or indoor gatherings—spills and light rain won’t kill the vibe.
Stream seamlessly via Bluetooth 5.4 for stable, low-latency connections, play MP3/WAV/FLAC files directly from USB, or connect via aux. Plug in a mic or guitar (inputs included) for karaoke or jamming sessions (add your own wireless mics as needed). Pair multiple Auracast-compatible speakers for true stereo sound or party-wide expansion. Fine-tune EQ, light modes, and more through the JBL PartyBox App.
The rugged, compact design (approx. 32 × 34.2 × 26 cm, 6.2–6.3 kg) includes a comfortable grab-and-go handle with an orange accent for easy carrying and one-hand portability.
