    I bought 2 of these to use at my daughter's wedding after the DJ finishes. The wedding hasn't happened yet but we tested these and are very happy with the sound quality, volume, easy to connect, easy to link the two speakers and the battery duration. We did get them at 20% off on sale

    The sound is good but the app is not compatable with Chromebook or HP laptop and maybe other devices. The other JBL Partybox products do not have this issue.

    Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. With our JBL Partybox Encore Essential, to fix the compatibility issue with the JBL Partybox app on your Chromebook or HP laptop, update Bluetooth drivers, clear the app cache, reinstall the app, forget and re-pair devices, check permissions, and restart both devices. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.

    I bought this as a gift for my husband's birthday. The sound is great and I love the light that changes with the music providing an added entertainment bonus. We've had a number of smaller bluetooth speakers scattered around our apartment which have been fine but a lot to manage and keep charged etc. Now we've been able to consolidate to this one speaker and the sound is even better than expected. It's the only one we need to hear the music throughout our apartment.

    This Bluetooth speaker is exactly what I was looking for! Perfect size with a very convenient carrying handle. The sound is AWESOME! There are three choices for bass which is great. The light show is fun to play with or you can turn it off. Great quality! I expect that from JBL products!

    Great! Especially for the price. You can usually find one on sale if you wait. I watched reviews saying that it as good as the Partybox 110. I didn't beleive it, so I bought a 110. I honestly prefer the Encore Essential. I wish that I wouldn't have bought the 110. Put 2 Essentials in stereo mode. Awesome! And on sale you can buy 2 for the cost of one 110.
