The JBL Partybox Encore Essential speaker is currently discounted in North America. Customers in the US can get US$90 or 30% off the US$299.95 MSRP, buying the gadget for US$209.95. This deal is available via Amazon, with the speaker currently sold out at the JBL online store. A smaller discount of CA$30 or 8% is offered in Canada at Amazon and the JBL store. This allows you to purchase the device for CA$369.98 rather than CA$399.98.
The Partybox Encore Essential features JBL Original Pro Sound with deep bass, a 100W output and a response range of 50Hz to 20kHz@-6dB. An integrated ring light provides a dynamic show, syncing to your music. You can wirelessly connect to the speaker via Bluetooth 5.1, controlling the sound and light show via an accompanying app or the built-in buttons. Plus, you can connect a microphone to the speaker via an AUX IN port, allowing you to use the machine for karaoke.
The battery allows the JBL speaker to last up to six hours on a single charge; a full recharge takes around 3.5 hours. The portable speaker measures 10.87 x 12.87 x 11.54-in (~27.6 x 32.7 x 29.3 cm) and weighs 5.9 kg (~13 lbs). It is unclear how long these JBL and Amazon deals on the Partybox Encore Essential speaker will last.
