JBL Partybox Encore Essential

There’s a party in JBL’s Partybox and everyone’s invited! Sorry, we had to do that.

Effortlessly portable, it’s also splashproof to the tune of IPX4, equipped with a wired mic input, capable of multi-source playback, and able to wirelessly sync with another of its kind to double the fun!

The JBL Partybox Encore Essential can run for up to 6 hours at a time on a single charge as it pours epic acoustics and dynamic lights into the surrounding area. However, it also features both an auxiliary port and a USB port should you want to keep the party going for as long as humanly possible. You can control it at the push of a button or by way of an adjoining app, which also allows you to customise lights and update settings. Let’s get it started! – AUD$349.95
