    Best sounding Bluetooth speaker I’ve ever owned
    The JBL PartyBox is the best sounding Bluetooth speaker I’ve ever owned. I bought it about a year ago and it is still going strong. It is very loud, clean, clear, and very strong base even after a year, the Battery Life has not diminished I would certainly buy it again if necessary, the only drawback is that it does not pair with smaller JBL speakers. Only other party boxes if I’m correct. Great speaker.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
    This speaker is so loud with great quality. I can hear clear across a half acre. The fun colors are customizable and perfect for parties. My adult friend over thanksgiving had the best time playing DJ and incorporating this speaker. The bass is great. The size is fantastic and it is not heavy at all. A True party box. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars because I thought it could connect with my JBL charge, but it cannot. It can only connect to other JBL Encores.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reseña honesta 🖤
    Reviewed in Mexico on January 15, 2024
    Desde hace ya 2 años vengo siendo usuario de JBL, teniendo por primera vez la Charge 4 que compré de medio uso, para que así unos meses más tarde venderla y conseguir la Charge 5, por un motivo o por otro la tuve que vender nuevamente, y luego conseguir la Charge 5 Wi-Fi, una excelente bocina pero el gusto por la marca me hizo querer más, no en cantidad pero si en sonido, por ello conseguí hasta hace unos días la Encore Essential.

    Contaré mi experiencia de estos 2 días que la he estado usando, siendo un usuario común que no ha tenido contacto absoluto con ningún otro modelo de la línea PartyBox, Xtreme ni Boombox asimismo de otras marcas, de primeras impresiones el sonido es superior en todos los aspectos de mi anterior Charge 5 Wi-Fi, estamos hablando de un salto de 40W a 100W RMS, igual de radiadores pasivos a caja acústica. Quedé encantado con ésta bocina por su sonido, potencia en bajos y diseño, la construcción es de muy buena calidad, pesa lo suyo, unos 6kg aprox. El no haber escuchado en persona ninguna bocina similar de otras marcas ni de la propia JBL, me ayudó a notar claramente la diferencia entre una y otra, es abismal.
    El ritmo de luces personalizable, vincularla a la aplicación, poder encender y apagarla remotamente desde la misma fueron algunas de las varias funciones que más me gustaron de este modelo. Personalmente yo no ecualizo porque no lo siento necesario, es bastante potente que en las pruebas que he estado haciendo, en interiores retumban las ventanas y en exteriores no defrauda en lo absoluto, hasta sorprende. Cabe mencionar que lo que más me gustó es tener la opción de enchufarla a la corriente para llegar al pico máximo de su capacidad, dado a que usar la batería no le permite emitir toda su potencia. El mango de agarre es muy bueno con una goma antideslizante color naranja.

    Claro no todos son puntos positivos, la bocina sí es pesada, en el aspecto de la batería, estamos hablando de que tiene 4800mAh de capacidad, sorprendemente pequeña para lo exigente que es la bocina teniendo como referencia al modelo mayor la Encore con 7000mAh, yo ya sabía que no iba a tener una buena autonomía, pero la compré porque no la voy a llevar a lugares remotos que no tengan un enchufe cercano, la tendré mayormente en mi habitación que es donde más escucho música y tal vez la lleve a lugares específicos, por el volumen que entrega está bastante acorde al tamaño de la batería, dándote un de tiempo de reproducción correcto, hasta allí, porque es una batería pequeña pero al menos es inalámbrica. Te dará a una mitad de volumen con las luces encendidas unas 4 horas, aún estoy probándolo, cabe aclarar que ésto puede variar según la música que se esté reproduciendo, el volumen, si está activo o no el ecualizador asimismo el bass boost, que por cierto tiene 2 modos, el modo profundo y el modo “punchy” que es una combinación de un bajo profundo con uno golpeante, ambos se pueden aprovechar muy bien según la canción que se esté reproduciendo, hay unas que aprovechan mucho el modo profundo y otras el modo punchy, sin duda alguna es excelente.

    La aplicación JBL PartyBox te permite cambiar el estilo de las luces rítmicas, encender y apagarlas, de igual forma te permite cambiar el color del aro de luz, ecualizarla, activar o desactivar el bass boost, actualizarla fácilmente, vincular otra PartyBox para hacer un sonido estéreo, ajustar el de audio de salida del micrófono, cambiar el nombre de la bocina y sobretodo lo que considero muy bueno e interesante es que remotamente la puedes apagar y también encender desde el teléfono.

    No cabe duda que estamos frente a una bocina de calidad y buen sonido, aunque a través de Bluetooth se limita a los códecs SBC y AAC, no hay de que preocuparse porque realmente se desempeña excelente. El cable de corriente es bastante largo y lo hace muy fácil de no tener que estar tan cerca de un enchufe. La tapa trasera guarda un jack para micrófono con su potenciometro, una entrada USB para reproducir música desde allí que admite los formatos más conocidos como “.mp3, .wav”, entrada auxiliar, etc.
    Si piensan comprar una bocina pero el presupuesto es ajustado, ésta es la opción, si la situación en la que la usarán sea similar a la mía, quedarán fascinados.

    * Actualización a 7 días de terminar el plazo de 30 dias *
    La bocina todo bien y el embalaje también, sacándola de la caja apenas la conecté descargué la app JBL PartyBox para que en ese momento al salirme una actualización disponible, pues la realicé, a los pocos días estando en pleno silencio en mi cuarto pude percatarme de algo que no había notado y era que de fondo levemente, acercando el oído a cualquiera de los dos tweeters pude presenciar un sonido de estática "sssss", no se oye a menos que pegues la oreja sobre la rejilla metálica pero luego de saber que vino con ese defecto de fábrica me dejó pensando un poco, ya que por un rato anduve ahorrando para comprar esta bocina y me desanimó un poco que llegase con ese detalle sabiendo de la marca de la que estamos hablando, no es grave pero no había ocurrido en las anteriores bocinas que había tenido, de todas formas me la quedaré porque es más engorroso el proceso de devolución que directamente quedármela, esto puede ocurrir rara vez, sí a tí te pasó comentalo para que yo pueda leerlo, cuando adquiras la tuya, pero del resto de la bocina todo me gusta, diseño, sonido, construcción.

    Aquí les dejo ésta foto que le tomé a la mía hoy por la tarde. ✌🏼
