JBL PARTYBOX ON-THE-GO ESSENTIAL

LongT . 1 month ago

Bad design for JBL PARTYBOX ON-THE-GO ESSENTIAL due to it used usb A port. No one is out there to use speaker battery to charge cellphone. Most of buyers do have power bank for cellphone backup. USB A should replace with usb c in/out instead of useless usb A port. I will wait for new release karaoke speaker with usb c in/ out.

Thanks for your feedback. We’ve already released a new version of the Partybox that features a Type-C port output for charging and it's our JBL Partybox Encore Essential 2. You can find more details about it here: https://www.jbl.com/party-speakers/PARTYBOX-ENCORE-ESSENTIAL-2.html

Love this Partybox! The only thing better would have been to get it free with internet but I didn’t qualify because I already have Verizon internet. I love my Verizon internet service by the way!

Sounds great butt! Can’t connect to other JBL speakers other than other Partybox OTG. Sad cause I have other speakers that it can’t connect to. Spend more money or pass on this one.

Customer Support - 2 months ago

Our JBL Partybox On The Go Essential has an auxiliary input port that lets you connect it to other JBL speakers with an output auxiliary port, such as the JBL Partybox 110, 120, 310, 320, 520, or 710, using a 3.5mm audio cable. Please note that in this setup, your Partybox On The Go Essential will function as the secondary speaker.

What is the difference vs regular version of PartyBox-On-the-GO? No comparison option

Answer from Customer Support1 year

Thanks for your question. The main differences between our JBL PartyBox On-The-Go and JBL PartyBox On-The-Go Essential are that on the Essential mode, we have removed the aux input and the USB charge out is 5V and 0.5 A compared with the 5V 2.1 A that is on the JBL PartyBox OTG. Audio quality and performance are the same since they have the same driver size installed and watts.
