The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential is good for listening to music. With its Bass Boost feature set to ‘Deep’, it has a neutral sound profile overall that’s good for listening to different music genres. It can produce quite a deep bass for its size, which is great if you’re a fan of bass-heavy music genres like hip-hop and EDM.
- The JBL PartyBox Encore is good for outdoor use. It has an IPX4 rating for water resistance that certifies it to withstand small splashes of water, so you don’t have to worry about it getting a bit wet when you bring the party outside with you.
- The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential is a very portable party speaker. While it’s on the heavier side and is a little bulky, you can easily carry it in one hand thanks to the built-in carrying handle atop it.
