I have this speaker too, and the bass is absolutely phenomenal if you put it on the floor. And luckily, It's designed perfectly to do that because it's so boxy and stable. It'll never get kicked over. It's really meant to be there. And you would not believe the extra bass performance you get. It turns it into a bass beast, all the while retaining its detailed and crystal clear highs and mids. Just the greatest thing. Blows away my Soundcore Motion Boom Plus and Tribit Stormbox Blast. They sound like transistor radios by comparison.

Yes, this little speaker is something else. I just got a 2nd one delivered and will be comparing 2 Encores vs 310 vs 710. Hopefully in the next week or so I will have the video out.

Thanks for the tip - I just bought one and this is real good to know.

Play a song on it like Queen of the Highway by Kalaha Moon. You dont even need the bass boost option on songs like that. Absolutely love this speaker.

It would be nice if I could play whatever I wanted. But unless it's royalty free, I can not use it in my videos. If you guys know ant good royalty free tracks you would like me to use, let me know. Thanks

How long does it take to fully charge

I got 2 of these staring at me, lol. I LOVE mine... a cube of BASS!! I actually have a dedicated subwoofer on my main system - they sound the same! I got mine last year at Wal-Mart for $192 a speaker.

If you are referring to a DJ board, beat pad or laptop. The speaker does have a 3.5mm port for that.

More portable than my PB100, so the Encore is my new Partybox.

Would you rather get this than doing your own karaoke set up? I'm trying to get some karaoke stuff for my place & came across this because it's been on sale since Black Friday for $179, but I've been also doing a lot of karaoke set up research. The cheapest set up a lot of people have recommended are a couple of Fifine mics off Amazon & a speaker. The mics plus the speakers would be around $230, so I'm debating if I should just get the JBL Partybox Encore instead.

For the current price, quality, ease, and portability, I would go with the Encore. The mics are solid and made of metal. They take 2 AA batteries each. The sound quality of the mics and speaker are very good. Plus, you can connect the speaker to your TV via Bluetooth and have yourself a nice karaoke setup.

what if the mic got broked is there a port for wired mic.??

Hopefully, you will not end up breaking both microphones. But if you did, there is a 3.5mm aux in port on the back that may work for a microphone. I have not yet tested this. But regardless, it would most likely be lower end than the nice metal wireless ones.

Would this work too, in replacement of the « orange » mic that comes with this partybox encore? I’d appreciate if you could help me ! Thanks :)
