JBL Professional All-in-1 Rechargeable Personal PA System with Bluetooth (EON ONE Compact)

Great speakers for any outdoor events. The sound quality is great the issue is the battery it only gives you about 5 hours of music if playing at high volume

Muy buen funcionamiento y excelente calidad del sonido para mi mariachi en eventos pequeños.

Awesome sound and best for personal and studio

TLDR: Absolutely the best portable Bluetooth speaker & PA system Purchased: October 2020 for CAD$691+tax from Amazon Warehouse deals. Updated this review at least once a year since. My requirements: A solid, movable, battery powered, Bluetooth speaker with excellent clear sound quality and lots of power. I'm an audiophile-- sound quality is most important to me. Tested a number of battery powered speakers and PA systems including Bose S1 pro, JBL PartyBox 100, 300, Ion Party Rocker etc before settling on this. What this is: A professional PA system for performers, MCs, Karaoke etc. What I use it for: Speaker for outdoor dancing events, with a cheap tablet for music & app control. Recommended for: Tinkerers with some understanding of audio equipment-- Effort & time is required. Not Recommended for: Anyone wanting a speaker to work perfectly right out of the box with zero effort (and there's nothing wrong with that). PROS: - Sound quality: LOUD, clean, crisp & clear-- it's louder and clearer than a lot of (older) pro equipment-- we ALWAYS compliments our music and how clear it is. - Build: Solid AF, good for the next 10 years or more. - Portability: Small enough to walk short distances using the handle- get a backpack for longer distances. - Bass: I'm a bass-head and this has all the bass you'll need and more-- Learn to use the speaker controls and app. - Bluetooth: Works extremely well. Great quality with no disconnection. Connect and forget about it. - Battery: Since winter 2020, I've used this 1-3x week for outdoor events up to 6 hours long for a crowd of up to 50ppl. Recharge immediately-- a little care goes a long way. - App: Packed with lots of features, effects and with full control of the equalizer and mixer. - No annoying lights! Cons: - Not waterproof, but splash proof - Weight & Portability: Weight and size is at lower end of portability. Backpack recommended for anyone not used to carrying awkward grocery bags on a regular basis. - App: Horrible interface, slow, un-intuitive, poorly designed. - Battery: As with all rechargeable batteries, cold weather can cause issues. One time it ran for less than an hour at -2C at at outdoor event. Otherwise its been good. Spares recommended in cold weather. - Price: Expensive-- try Amazon warehouse deals. - No sexy lights! Tips: - Install and learn to use the JBL app (take pleasure in pulling teeth!) - Learn to use the mixer in the JBL app - Learn how to use controls on the speaker -- gives you more bass than you need - Upgrade the firmware. - Aux and other physical inputs gives better audio quality that Bluetooth (if you pay attention) - Get a speaker stand & speaker cover for rainy days. Its direct competitor is the Bose S1 Pro compact. The JBL is ALWAYS better for DJs, music and & parties, the Bose *might* sound more natural sound out of the box-using the JBL mixer fixes this. Definitively has way better Bluetooth than the Bose and most party-speakers. Also, the JBL PartyBoxes reduce the bass output when on battery only-- which is not the case with the EON One compact. If you get this, Please take the time to learn how to use it.
