Better than expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Requested this because I wanted decent music player to use outside by the pool. I've used other JBL wireless speakers for this purpose and I've always felt that I wanted a little bit more volume and bass than they were able to provide.
When the party box arrived, I was immediately impressed by how substantial it was. It appeared solidly-built and had a good weight to it. Not too heavy, but it let you know that there was a serious speaker inside. I couldn't wait to turn it on. It quickly paired with my phone via Bluetooth and the music started pouring out. This thing really blew me away. All the volume you could ask for along with tight bass. To raise the bar a little bit more, the front of the speaker lights up with an adjustable array of light that circles the speaker cone. Very cool Extra Touch in my opinion. I took it outside play sit next to the pool and walked across the yard to hear how loud it was. As I turned the volume up I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to max this thing out without having the police called.
This thing was stylish and a monster at the same time. I found myself playing all different types of music just to hear how good this thing really was.. and it is that good. If you're looking for a Wireless speaker to take you to the next level, this is for you. I failed to mention it has a nice carry handle integrated into the top of the speaker making it very easy to pick up and move around. This thing would be great for tailgates, the beach, the pool or any other outdoor activity. In fact I use it in my house quite a bit as my main music source because I like the lights so much. No going wrong with this one. JBL continues to impress me with it's audio products. I would definitely recommend this highly to just about anyone looking for a substantial boombox.

Crispy, punchy sound perfect for outdoor events

from Austin, Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the product in my apartment and at an outdoor party where several people were spread out across a street. The product was used to play music as well as audio for a video. The speaker was used alone, so TWS was never used.

Another great portable speaker from JBL!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great product, with features you wouldn't expect from a portable speaker. I was initially worried about the size of the speaker but was pleasantly surprised about the size, weight and craftsmanship. This is a well made speaker that redefines its purpose. The microphone input and TWS capability was perfect when needing to make announcements during outdoor gatherings. The weight distribution is slightly off balance when grabbing the top handle but barely noticeable.

Awesome "little" speaker!

from Bartonsville, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a winner in the party-box field! I have not had enough time to really talk about durability, but it certainly blasts the expected JBL volume, base and clarity I expect! It has all the features of the larger boxes with Bluetooth, Karaoke Mic input, aux input, etc. The one thing I really hate about MOST of these things is the silly LED lights on the speaker, so I was glad to see these can be changed and turned off! My son used it on battery while washing his car one day and another day while working on his truck and the power lasted for hors without issue. I also like that it CAN be used on AC power.
It quickly and easily and connected to my phone via Bluetooth, the sound was HUGE and crystal clear. This beats the (sometimes more expensive) off-brand party speakers hands-down

Absolutely in love with this speaker!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely in love with this speaker! It is a party box basically cut in half and can produce the same amount of sound so it is definitely more convenient to bring around and really make your party “on the go”. The sound quality is astounding and the light show is always a sick bonus! I brought it to the football field to see how well it sounds outside in an open environment and people were telling me they can hear the music from the 2 fields away and they were extremely impressed to say the least. Next spot is the beach for a beach party! Overall an amazing speaker! It also has a microphone jack so lets see how my next karaoke night will go!

Let the Bass Drop!
on May 11, 2022
Posted by: Ed¹¹
from Chicago, IL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! this speaker is amazing! Music with deep bass sounds super clear and punchy without distorting clarity. The best part about it is that you can download the Partybox app and update how deep you want the bass to sound; customizations on this speaker are awesome. The light patterns can be adjusted however you'd like or if you decide that the light show is not you're taste, you can turn them off. So far, I've been setting up my speaker in my living room, bedroom and outside out in the yard. The handle at the top makes it so much easier to move around and the handle itself blends in nicely withing the speaker. The gloss trim around some of the edges makes this really nice to have displayed. I do have to say, my favorite part about this speaker is it's amazing sound clarity and punchy deep bass. I can't wait to show it off at my next family gathering this summer!

Excellent sound for a small portable party speaker
on May 11, 2022
Posted by: claritydnb
from Fargo, ND
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent small party speaker. It is light enough to be very portable. When using indoors the bass is excellent on the middle bass boost setting. Outside, I found the upper bass boost setting to be the best. I like the lights on the front, although they don't seem to move exactly with the music. The sound is great (as expected from JBL). I like that you can plug and aux cable into it to use it with any audio equipment (DJ gear). I like that it has a battery so it can be used away from the electrical outlet! All-in-all it is an excellent party speaker. My only complaint about it is there is no on-board storage for the cable. It does, however, fit in the handle area.

Quality sound delivered through an efficient box

from Elizabeth New Jersey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To begin, battery life is exceptional, built quality superv, and we alk know the sound jbl always delivers. Find myself carrying this everywhere inbthe house, backyard, garage, pool, and in the car. Will need to get a couple of more. The base and connectivity always consumer driven. Nice to see that quality has not changed even after the world is seeing cuts in every direction.
