JBL PartyBox Encore 2 100W Portable Bluetooth Party Speaker

Bring music, karaoke and colourful lighting to house parties, family celebrations and small social gatherings with the JBL PartyBox Encore 2. This portable Bluetooth party speaker combines 100W RMS output with up to 15 hours of battery-powered listening, giving Kenyan music lovers a flexible setup for entertaining at home or taking the celebration outdoors.

A 5.25-inch woofer and two dome tweeters reproduce bass, vocals and higher-frequency detail, while AI Sound Boost helps optimise the sound as the music plays. From a relaxed afternoon playlist to an energetic evening gathering, the built-in lightshow adds atmosphere without requiring separate party lighting.

Stream music from a compatible phone, tablet or computer using Bluetooth 5.4, or connect a wired audio source through the 3.5mm auxiliary input. Microphone and guitar inputs make the Encore 2 useful for karaoke, informal sing-alongs and small acoustic sessions. Use the JBL PartyBox app for supported speaker controls, and connect compatible Auracast-enabled speakers when you want to expand your setup.

The compact cabinet is convenient for moving between rooms or taking to a gathering. IPX4 splash resistance helps with incidental splashes, but the speaker must not be submerged and its protective port covers must be closed securely. Recharge in under 3.5 hours with the speaker switched off, and allow for shorter battery life at higher volume or with different audio content.
