yeah, the encore has way more bass, but that comes from the much better bass reflex tube on the back of this box... The design has been well thought out.
@@hellrxvenexpyes, low end bass is definitely popping on this one. But I do think some might actually prefer the stereo imagery of the OTG with the clarity and mid bass presence to give room for mids and highs that also include vocals.
Definitely going to wait for the normal encore. Its all about the lightshow and battery life for me. Awesome speaker but having more lights and battery life is a must, at least for me.
Well, the normal PB Encore will retail for $400 which is the same price of the PB110. I mean, the PB Encore is a good soeaker but the 110 is just better
i think jbl noticed they messeed it up with the jbl partybox o-t-go...so they decided to launch a partybox encore which is way better tuned ..the low bass alone and it is smaller.
The bass output on JBL speakers scales back when you get to 80%- 100% volume. So I wouldn't worry about the speaker blowing up or anything...lol. JBL has safeguards in place to protect these Partybox speakers from damage.
Hi Willington, great comparison as always! Both speaker sounds great! The bass on the encore goes deeper, but the OTG has a wider sound stage and a bit clearer.. For the sound sample, I think 'Follow me' is suites in showcasing the highs, 'Toss the salt' in the mid range vocals, and 'Do you want some more' for the bass response.. 😊

First I want to say ´thanks´ for your clear and good pronuncatiion in this video! I´m from Germany and could understand every word from you very easy. I own both speakers, OTG and Encore (two pieces of them), for listening both in stereo and I use them since 3 months for fun and also for my job as a musician (live and studio). My experience is nearly the same what your conclusion was at the end of your video: The Encore has for sure more bass, but the OTG sounds a little bit more "natural". That means for me: The Encore I use more for electronic sounding music while the OTG for me is much better for natural instruments like piano, strings and real drums! The problem for me is: I cannot find anybody in YT until now who tests speakers like this with natural instruments, only when you hear (real) voices in electronic music you can hear more differences. For example in the last song in your video where you compared both speakers you can hear that the voices with OTG has more breath in it! Also it sounds more wide for me, because the mid-range frequences are better in the OTG. Anyway, after I listened some pop songs for about half an hour with my two Encores my ears were hurting a little bit ´cause of the strong high frequencies! It means, from now I have to put the high frequencies (over 12 kHz) down with an equalizer to feel more comfortable with the Encores!
That is a one good speaker! The bass goes deeper on the Encore Essential! And please use the Flossy Carter's Bike Life song which I already said in the comments of your previous Encore Essential's video! That song is insane for testing a speaker's sub bass, lime how much deep can a speaker produce its bass! Waiting for it to hear on your next video!
I've always had the impression that the OTG could've had passive radiators on it's sides, instead of front facing ports, but if JBL were to think about doing an upgraded version or 2nd version of this, that could honestly help, like possibly upgrading it's water resistance and sound (tho it comes down to tuning it). The BB2's sound could've been what the OTG should have atleast sounded from it's looks,
Hey DLX some sound reviews with raycon would be cool I’ve noticed they started making some Bluetooth speakers and they basically have a PARTYBOX now, I’d love to see that against some of the JBL PARTYBOX’s
5:56 in and it's contest over. Encore hits what sounds like 35hz far and above WAY WAY harder than the On The Go. Game -OVER! Go compare 5:40-5:50 and 5:50-6:00 with a GOOD pair of large driver headphones (50mm+) and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about! The Encore just digs DEEEEP!
I like this speaker!. Maybe it will be a good replacement for studio 6. This speaker has 2.1 setup, which I think that the 5.25" speaker is a subwoofer, and I don't think it only throw pure low frequencies and bass, but it has a little bit of voice like mid-range voice coming out so the twitter will just have to support it with midhi frequencies so it wouldn't have a sound signature of a V on a 5 band Equalizer. Great Video!!. I hope you can try some songs of TheFatRat!, He has many good songs which you can use and all of it is copyright free!.
So often people play terrible music for these tests, but I like this. Despite it not being anything I’d listen to myself. The encore essential seems to be more rich in sound. Better tech.
for majority of users battery life isn't an issue because these will stay plugged in and wont ever leave the house. most people dont buy speakers this big to travel with them, they get them to replace home stereo systems. think about it, how many people do you know that still have stereos that consist of a main unit and two speakers?.......
@@mynameisfan How is it more handy?! Minirigs are so small that they fit in some backpack (you can even carry one if you want) 🎒, also you get a Minirig backpack with 2.1 system...
Well it could be due to the enclosure design the essential has a cube form factor in which has a small space inside where the bass could resonate thats why its boomy, while rhe OTG has a bigger enclosure that could disperse a significant amount of low freq....what i like about the OTG also is it has a guitar input ...i guess the essential does not
you would never expect something that has the name encore and essential to sound this good. My cousin has a boombox 3 and my 2 encores completely destroy that boombox 3
I got the PB EE for $145 BFD sale. It is fantastic choice for indoor use. I returned PB110 because the bass would overpower the vocals indoor. I love the EE but battery is the only sad part.
Both are goods. Deeper end for the encore but less mid bass then from the on the go. Better stereo imaging on the on the go. Both suffer atroce sibilence at 2.4kz thrue 5.5 khz because of those damned Class D amp. ….at high level in this case. At medium level, sound is pretty impressive and balanced on both . My choice goes to the On th go, for the extra stereo imaging. My experience prove me that the Encore extra kick of bass bellow 50 hz, can be annoying with time. This extra kick seam to come from an enclosure resonnance, and devellop itself in unexpected peak sometime .Not uncontrolled, but nearly at least.
Why are you blaming the class D amp? Even the most expensive audiophile amps use class D such as PS Audio. It can even be argued that class D has surpassed AB in sound quality. The only reason they sound different is because JBL EQed them differently. If you feel they have too much treble, blame the person that EQed them.
@@JustEnjoyingLife73 Yup, that sibilance likely has a LOT more to do with the choice of drivers and EQ than it does with the type of amp chosen to drive them.
I was given a party on the go speaker as a Christmas gift. It sounds awesome. It has lots of bass n clarity. You can’t really hear it like this you have to hear it in person.
@@urbnctrl The JBL PartyBox On-The-Go has a mediocre soundstage. It can play stereo content without downmixing it into mono, which results in a more immersive listening experience. However, its directivity is poor, so its soundstage may be perceived as narrow and directional.
Just picked up the OTG last week for $200 on sale and it’s a good speaker. Sounds wide and has good punchy bass, but the battery life is really a killer. 4.5/5 hours on one click under half volume, no bast boost, and no lights is absolutely insane for a speaker this size. I see why JBL doesn’t support this speaker. In time I’ll upgrade but this works for now.
I would have went with this unit instead of the 110 if the encore had an AUX Out, but it didn't.. the 110 seems pretty beefy for the extra $100. The specs online say the 110 can play 5 hz lower and has an extra 6 hours of battery life. Planning on getting a Klipsch 12 inch subwoofer to pair up with the 110 for when I'm using it indoors.
One question I have , in the party box 100 I tested once when I had it to use aux and Bluetooth at the same time but I forgot if I can also use the guitar/ mic 1/4 inch input all together ? Can you test if the encore can do that since it’s considered a karaoke speaker would it allow to use mic +Bluetooth +line in aux all together ? Does the app show the battery percentage of the encore ?
I have a DINDIN bluetooth speaker, I absolutely love the sound quality, the lighting, it works everywhere, it makes me happy every time I use it, I have been using it for a year, this product deserves more praise.
i think the OTG bass is not low. the Encore Essential has lower bass and the Encore Essential is more open at 100% then the OTG. i think the Encore Essential is the winner
I bought jbl partybox 1000 but honestly is to loud for my apartment. And there no way to lower the bass, even in the lowest setting. Thinking about getting the encore
Sounds like the amp is starting to clip or they have some sort of EQ bump at around 45hz or so on the essential. Does the distortion disappear at similar volumes off wall power where the amp shouldn’t be throttled?
Your test was incomplete. Seems like you switched off the bass on the bigger one to look smaller one better. Have anyone noticed the bass light was lit on the smaller unit while it was turned off on the bigger unit. Not a good test and judgement.
The OTG sounds wider but the encore has wayyy more bass
I think the OTG sounds cleaner ✨
