JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 Portable Party Speaker with Auracast - Black - Each
The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 brings powerful JBL Pro Sound, a dynamic lightshow, and portable convenience together in one party-ready speaker. With 100W RMS output, AI Sound Boost, up to 15 hours of playtime, and a grab-and-go handle, it gives you the flexibility to take your music wherever the event moves.
100W JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost
Whether you're playing pop ballads, slow jams, or something in between, this speaker is built to give your playlist extra impact. A 5.25-inch woofer delivers deep lows, while two 0.75-inch dome tweeters handle clear highs. Together, they create the kind of sound you can feel as well as hear.
Want to push the volume higher? AI Sound Boost helps deliver more powerful sound with less distortion. As a result, your music stays clear even when you turn things up.
Dynamic Lightshow That Moves with Your Music
What is a party speaker without some visual energy? The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 adds glowing light patterns and strobe effects to complement your music. The built-in lightshow helps set the mood and gives your party a more complete audio and visual experience.
Up to 15 Hours of Playtime
Keep your playlist moving for up to 15 hours on a single charge. The 34Wh lithium-ion battery provides plenty of time for extended listening, while a full battery charge takes approximately 3.5 hours.
Portable Design with a Grab-and-Go Handle
Moving your music from one space to another is simple thanks to the integrated grab-and-go handle. At 13.7 lbs and measuring 12.6 x 13.5 x 10.3 inches, the speaker combines powerful party sound with a design made for portability.
IPX4 Splash-Proof Design
Spills and splashes can happen when the music gets going. Fortunately, the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 features an IPX4 splash-proof design, giving you extra flexibility for parties in different environments.
Expand Your Sound with Auracast
Need more sound for a bigger gathering? Auracast lets you pair two PartyBox Encore Essential 2 speakers for true stereo sound. You can also wirelessly connect multiple JBL Auracast-enabled speakers, allowing your audio setup to grow along with your party.
Mic and Guitar Inputs for Live Performances
Turn your gathering into a live performance using the dedicated microphone and guitar inputs. Karaoke EQ tuning helps shape your vocals, while the built-in lightshow adds visual energy. Whether you're singing or playing guitar, you can bring live talent directly into the mix.
Control the Party with the JBL PartyBox App
You don't need to stay beside the speaker to manage the experience. Through the JBL PartyBox app, you can control your music, adjust EQ settings, choose lightshow options, and add sound effects. That means the controls can stay within reach while you move around the party.
Bluetooth 5.4 and Flexible Audio Options
The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 features Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless audio connectivity. It also includes a 3.5mm Aux-In connection and supports MP3, WAV, and FLAC music file formats. Plus, USB-C charge out provides up to 11V/2A maximum output.
Detailed Audio Performance
With a frequency response of 40Hz to 20kHz (-6dB) and a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 80dB, this speaker is designed to cover deep lows through detailed highs. Its 100W RMS output works alongside the dedicated woofer and dome tweeters to provide balanced JBL Pro Sound across your playlist.
