    This speaker is great. The sound is powerful and great quality for my personal use. Easy to connect. The battery will last the whole day if it is no more than half the volume (personally enough). Connected to its power cable will boost the bass punch and volume. 100% volume will get highs and mids LOUD but bass will not get as punchy or deep. You will feel the bass in a car and in your room so for the size it’s excellent. It is a perfect portable speaker.

    Casi no soy de escribir reseñas por falta de tiempo, pero de verdad que es imposible no hacer una reseña con este aparato, es poderoso para los que nos gustan los bajos y para los que no también ya que tiene 3 modos, 1 apagado lo describo como bajos normales ninguna novedad, modo 2 bajos profundos wow! (lo describo como envolvente fuerte, exquisito, poderoso, vibrante con el 50% de volumen ) y el modo 3 bajos intensos: describo como envolvente medio pero con mayor golpeteo con dureza te hace descansar del bajo envolvente pero sin perder el gusto y para volúmenes mayores al 60 %, en lo personal me gustan todos los modos para cada ocasión y volumen, así que, si quieres algo que destaque, que puedas transportar fácil y armar los convivios con baile, karaoke, o solo escuchar música tranquilamente esto está más que sobrado, no olvides bajar la app para una experiencia extra como algunos sonidos predeterminados tipo Dj o si le sabes a la ecualizado puedes, personalizarlo a tu gusto, la verdad estoy muy contento gracias al vendedor igual que no se ha tenido ningún detalle con el envío, vino muy bien embalado y con código de confirmación, estaré subiendo update después de unos meses de uso pues esta reseña es apenas sacando del paquete jeje, saludos y les deseo buena compra y buenas ofertas, (prueba realizada enchufada, ya que con batería si se nota una ligera diferencia pero nada que la detenga)

    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

    Ease of use is excellent.
    Sound quality is amazing. When I bought the speaker I was looking for one with a solid subwoofer- and this bass is THUMPY! You can tell it’s got a subwoofer in the back and carries a solid beat. The weight isn’t an issue if you’ve got some muscles but could be difficult for a kid to move around (I think it’s just over 20 lbs!) The design has a clean look and is an overall solid speaker. I kept laying back thinking to myself how happy I am that I bought it.

    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.
