my 2 cents –
Another phenomenal JBL product.
Another phenomenal product from JBL. I purchased two of these Encore Essential 2’s and play them in stereo pair. I had debated whether or not to purchase the new Boombox 4, but decided on these Party Box Encore Essential 2’s as they were a much better value for the price and more capable with larger, ported woofer size (vs. sealed radiators with the BB4). They offer rich, balanced sound. The bass is where the Party Box speakers shine, with the Essential 2’s offering deep relaxed bass even at low volumes with the option for normal, deep or punchy bass settings. The biggest plus is that I can separate the two speakers for a wide sound stage and let me tell you, for this reason alone it does not disappoint. Talk about lifelike sound! I purchased two Party Box 320’s last year and while they do sound amazing, they are a pain to lug around for the size and weight. I wanted something more portable and these Encore Essential 2’s fit the bill without sacrificing much capability. These little Essential 2’s are very portable and light only weighing approx 10 lbs each and and yet they still offer very capable sound. I am not disappointed. While the battery is not as easy to replace as the proper Encore 2, the Encore Essential 2 does have an internal battery that can be replaced with a little time and patience and I think the replacement batteries are much cheaper than the cartridge style batteries that many of the JBL products now offer. The only downside I’d like to point out is that the volume control is not very granular, as in the steps between lower volume notches are too steep. Not a deal breaker, but maybe an improvement for future models. If you are interested in getting an idea of how well these speakers perform, find a decent pair of IEM’s and check YouTube for reviews. That’s actually how I deliberated my purchase decision. Overall I am very satisfied and a JBL fan for life!

The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 is amazing!
The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 is amazing! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep, powerful bass that fills the room, perfect for any party or gathering. It’s super easy to connect via Bluetooth, and the portability makes it convenient to take anywhere. The lights add a fun vibe, and the battery life lasts for hours. Definitely worth it if you love great music and a lively atmosphere. JBL never disappoints!

A little expensive, but definitely a great portable speaker compared to the JBL 320
I have a JBL 320 and it’s amazing. However, I wanted a smaller and more portable speaker. With that said, the JBL Encore Essential 2 definitely fills that role.At first I was worried if it would be loud enough and debated if I should’ve gotten the JBL 120 from Costco; but after receiving the Encore Essential 2 and testing it out, I’m so glad I kept it. It’s more than loud enough for a living room / back yard, the sound quality is great and there is still a good amount of bass, and lastly, it’s SO easy to carry around.It’s missing a lot of physical buttons/knobs, but you can connect to it via app and adjust any settings you need (equalizer and microphone settings). It doesn’t have a removable battery, but its 15 hour battery life is more than enough. I have the JBL microphones and use this speaker for karaoke all the time

Definitely recommend!
Best wireless speaker ever. I can’t believe I waited so long to purchase it. The sound is amazing, it’s easy to connect your phone to and the battery lasts forever, even with the lights on. It does have little weight to it. I purchased a speaker bag to help carry & protect it.

Bass good for its size
I listened to this speaker for about 20 minutes. I turned the volume up 25%. The mids/highs sound nice and crisp. The lows sound good for its size.I had a problem with the bass boost button, it would not work consistently. If I pressed it firmly, it would change the bass and the light behind the button would become light/dim or off depending on how many times I pressed it. But if I pressed it normal, it would do nothing however it did click no matter if I pressed it firm or light. I currently own a PartyBox 310, 320, 520 and the bass button works with a firm or light press but not the Essential 2. I returned it.

A++ Amazing Sound! Sound quality of a Bluetooth Speaker costing $500-$1000
Absolutely amazing! Deep bass, crips trebles, customizable sound with the EQ and two levels of bass boost. I bought this on sale for $250 and would pay $500 for the JBL Encore 2! I have the Bose Soundlink Max, the JBL Boombox 3, and tried the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A5 (about $2,000 with tax), and this Encore 2 blows that AWAY — not even in the same universe. I also consider myself a “V” shape sound listener and an audiophile. This is an amazing value and the sound and loudness of this speaker punches many weight classes above its weight. If JBL made this in a more refined “home speaker” package, this would sell like hotcakes!

I bought 2 of these with a wireless mic and love them. They pair and play in stereo and the battery lasts longer than expected. Everything works well.The microphone doesn’t play on both speakers when they are linked which is the only thing I would like to change.

La agarré a un gran precio por el buen fin, quedé encantado con su sonido potente y claro. Es bastante ligero para sus dimensiones, el asa es bastante funcional para transportarla, es bastante potente, la verdad es que la batería no la he podido probar pero como todas estas bocinas nunca llegan al tiempo estimado con todo el volumen; sin embargo me la llevé a la alberca y al 50% sonaba bastante alto y nos duró varias horas sin conectarla.
