I need a portable bluetooth speaker to play the music for me when I am practice the acoustic drum set. My Charge 5 is inaudible when play the drums. I need a speaker that is loud enough to cover the drums. Which speaker would your recommend? Thank you!
Does this version work with the wireless microphones without an adapter???
This item was promoted with two wireless microphones, will the microphones be sold separately?
Will the Encore Essential pair with an Encore?
Can you specify the difference between Jbl encore and the Jbl encore essential
If I use this speaker while pulg-in wall, and EQ Bass raise to maximum (+2) also ”Bass Boost“ set to "Deep(Lv.1)" plus maximum volume, is this safe for the drivers inside? Thank you!!
The JBL Partybox Encore Essential looks like a Professional Stage speaker, can this speaker put out concert level bass and SPL? How long could it sound project? I want to use this speaker at concert sound reinforcement. Thank you very much!!
How is the bluetooth range on the speaker?
I saw from the JBL Newsroom website, it has an article mentioned that the JBL Partybox Lineup contains the JBL Touring Loudspeakers technology with a customer friendly design. I want to know which technology did JBL include in the JBL Partybox EE?
Is the sound the exact same as the Encore? Thanks a lot!

Trying to connect 2 speakers but doesn’t connect when push connect button
Does it have to be plugged in the wall to be used?
does it take 110w outlets and 220w outlets??
Is it possible to use two JBL Partybox Encore Essential speakers connected together via TWS for playing music from AUX source? If yes, are the speakers going to play stereo sound? Will the speaker that is connected to the AUX source be the Left speaker?
