The all-black exterior and cubic design have the potential to blend in fairly seamlessly with a media center or cabinet when not in use.
While I wouldn’t describe the Encore Essential as “discrete,” the overall design is sleek and streamlined. I was super excited by these inclusions and made use of both-charging my phone while at a park picnic and patching in a laptop running QLab software to preview a theatrical production’s sound design.
While other accessories aren’t included, this speaker features a 3.5mm auxiliary port for external devices and a USB port to charge your phone or play content from a flash drive. The speaker has a Li-ion polymer 17.76 Wh battery that lasts around six hours, though it can be depleted faster if you blast your tunes at top volume, so I recommend keeping it plugged in with the included AC cord between (and even sometimes during) uses.

First things first, you’ll want to start charging the speaker until the battery is full (which takes approximately 3.5 hours from empty).
CROSS EASY WRITER REVIEW PORTABLE
The Encore Essential isn’t the portable speaker you toss into a beach bag on your way out the door (though JBL makes plenty of those).Ī sturdy handle molded into the top of the Encore Essential makes for relatively easy carrying, but you’ll want to clear a fair amount of surface space when it’s time for the speaker to be set down and set up. To put it plainly, the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential can deliver big sound because it’s a big speaker, measuring 10.87 x 12.85 x 11.54 inches and weighing approximately 13 pounds (about 10 pounds lighter than the PartyBox 110, which another PopSci reviewer really does like). With the promise of high-energy playback and a colorful presence, we put the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential to the test, rocking out and (accidentally) waking up neighbors.Ĭheck Price The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential’s design Visually an obvious little sibling of the $399 PartyBox 110, the Encore Essential is the smallest and most affordable option in the line, retailing for $299.95, making it an excellent choice for party-throwers who aren’t ready to commit to a super-expensive system. The newest addition to this trove of celebration-supporting speakers is the PartyBox Encore Essential. While JBL’s Flip and Charge series are perfect for lounging by the pool or enjoying more intimate get-togethers, the PartyBox line offers heftier, but still handy speakers with powerful audio and an entertaining light show for larger gatherings. Now the company’s logo, with its familiar exclamation mark, can be found on appropriately exuberant, bass-bumping line arrays, car audio components, headphones, earbuds, and its ever-popular portable speakers.

Founded in 1946, with a well-earned reputation for live performance drivers and professional recording studio monitors, JBL became a household name beginning in the 1970s with a highly successful series of loudspeakers. If you’ve ever shopped for a portable Bluetooth speaker, you’ve undoubtedly come across JBL.
