JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 100W Wireless Portable Party Speaker - IPX4 splashproof, Mic + Aux + USB + Bluetooth inputs, up to 6 hours of playback

We were hosting a small community gathering in the Hub West community venue. Our choices were a room that was just a bit too small, or a giant hall. We went for the giant hall. When we came to set up the day before, we tested out our $12 Kmart Bluetooth speaker. For some reason, it was not sufficiently kickass and did not receive our seal of approval. I googled around and found good reviews for the JBL PartyBox, then I came to PB Tech's website because they are always good to deal with and prices are competitive. I was not disappointed. For some reason there was a back to school special on this party speaker. Strange, but I'm not complaining....view more We were hosting a small community gathering in the Hub West community venue.

Atmosphere for days! Made such a good impression and was easy as to use.

I love this little speaker. Reminds me of a saying "great stuff comes in small packages". Wish i bought two. I love this little speaker. Reminds me of a saying "great stuff comes in small packages". Wish i bought two.

I consider myself a bit of an audiophile, and this little unit has fantastic sound.
Great battery life, water resistance, and the lightshow make it (IMHO) the best value for money in the portable speaker world.

I'd even go as far to say that it'd be a good home stereo for someone who hasn't got alot of space or money.
It sounds great on battery, but when plugged into mains power, the drivers are able to utilise the extra juice and sound even better.

It's not very often that you find such a well designed and quality product for so cheap in this day and age.

One con could be that it's a little too big to fit in a backpack - but if yo...view more I consider myself a bit of an audiophile, and this little unit has fantastic sound.

One con could be that it's a little too big to fit in a backpack - but if you want this kind of sound, there's no real way around the size.

Awesome speakers! Makes the floor shake..lol Awesome speakers! Makes the floor shake..lol

Got this on Boxing Day. Great speaker and a great price. Good base, comparing to some of the smaller speakers, this is way better for the price. Not too sure about the battery life. I use mostly at home, so not an issue for me. Got this on Boxing Day. Great speaker and a great price. Good base, comparing to some of the smaller speakers, this is way better for the price.
