JBL adds its most compact, powerful portable to PartyBox Series with the mighty JBL PartyBox Encore Essential. The JBL Encore Essential boasts 100W of output and features the signature JBL PartyBox lightshow that syncs to music, in a smaller and portable design that is guaranteed to be the life of the party.

With its ultra-portable handle and rugged design, JBL PartyBox Encore Essential can easily be transported to wherever the party is. With up to 6 hours of battery life and its IPX4 splashproof design, music lovers won’t have to worry about poolside splashes or dancing in the rain for long listening sessions.

The newly designed interface enables users to easily control the lightshow and volume at the next dance party, or access these features through the dedicated JBL PartyBox app. The dynamic lightshow delivers a cool strobe effect that syncs to any music beat. With Bluetooth, USB and AUX connectivity, partygoers have a fair share of connection choices to their favorite tunes.

“With the popularity of the JBL PartyBox speaker lineup, we are excited to introduce a smaller design option that delivers the same big, bold audio used throughout the series,” said Dave Rogers, President, HARMAN Lifestyle Division. “JBL’s expertise in consumer audio and professional live sound meet in the PartyBox series so we are thrilled to expand upon the portfolio with a compact design option.”
