5 Star Product with Superior Sound

Harles Barkley . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Supurb, i heavily recommend. Cant wait to get a bigger one. My neighbors love me.

Blew my socks off

Max M . 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This speaker exceeded my expectations. I absolutely love the quality of this speaker and it sounds SO good. The bass is insane and has been more than enough indoors and out. I highly recommend and can’t wait to buy a second. I contemplate buying the party box on the go and also the boombox 3. Ultimately I think I made the right choice I needed a unit portable enough but delivers BIG sound and I got it.

Worth the money

Awesome portable speaker! Very nice sound quality!

Not a great option to buy with Verizon

Sujith . 4 months ago

I do not recommend buying accessories with Verizon.

Great Product, terrible communication with Verizon and their Credit Card

unhappy . 6 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Partybox is awesome! No question about it. The problem is that I picked the option to purchase accessory using their card on 12 months and guess what, full charge on my CC bill. I talked to Verizon and they told me to call Synchrony, I called Sychrony and they said to call Verizon or open an investigation that lasts 60 days. 100% unacceptable.

Not super happy

Disappointed . 7 months ago

Can it connect a tv

Answer from Customer Support1 year

Thanks for your question. You can connect the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential to to your TV via Bluetooth and a wired connection. However, we recommend connecting it to your TV using an AUX connection to avoid audio-video delays or latency instead of Bluetooth. You may need a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) if your TV doesn't have an AUX output to achieve this setup. While this is technically possible, our PartyBox isn't designed to provide the same audio-video experience as the soundbars.

Answer from Customer Support1 year
