Perfect for Karaoke nights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing product to make the karaoke nights at home more lively. It sounds amazing and have really good bass for the sound. Overall a great product for parties and events at home, the only drawback I see is that it's really big to take it anywhere.

The perfect partying package
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall Quality & Feel & Important Features:
As any other JBL product, the built quality of this speaker is outstanding. Every detail was thought thoroughly and it’s the perfect speaker for a gathering. It is important to note that the tuning knobs on top of the speaker are for the wireless microphone and not for the speaker itself. That was a feature I noticed afterwards. Moving along, the fine adjustment knobs work great, they add value to the experience, and it makes singing/karaoke more enjoyable. As it allows customization to each performer, it makes you want to grab the microphone and become a part of the action. The narrow long gap/indent in front of the speaker also serves a holder purpose for the mobile devices. Lyrics or different visuals can be presented at an easy-to-view angle thanks to that design. Personally, if I am going on a picnic, a little backyard party, or a small city gathering, I would rather have this speaker than a regular JBL Partybox or Boombox. They sound very similar to each other, but the addition of the microphone makes a huge difference.
____________
The lights work very well and although they are not as customizable as a JBL Pulse speaker, there is a lighting setting for everyone. From a white strobe lighting to smooth and vibrant hue changes, they are pleasant to watch. The lights are responsive to audio as well, they get thicker or move quicker once a louder note is played which is awesome. They are fully synchronized with the music and the input from the microphone.
____________
The microphone performs with no delay and the knobs help tremendously to achieve the right vocal setting. The two little microphone holders on the side of the speaker are a great touch and very useful. The strap and the strap holders are very sturdy, I can see myself having it on my shoulder for long periods of time with no discomfort. The other wired microphone and guitar inputs are a very classy touch as well. I cannot try the guitar input as I do not own one, however, based on my experience, the sound will be similar to what it is with the microphone. Therefore, I could see guitar players utilizing this feature often.
____________
On-speaker controls and buttons are designed nicely with proper indicators. They are smooth to the touch and to twist. Meanwhile the buttons that are meant to be pressed are quite stiff (in a positive way) and they give good responses. The “Bass Boost”, power on/off, and Bluetooth buttons all light up which is great. However, it would have been great to have the light show button actually light up as well. As it is a main feature of the product and mostly used at night, it would make sense to have it light up. Additionally, since there are already five knobs on the speaker, it would have been better to have a knob for volume as well. My mind kept searching for a wheel to twist to adjust the volume after twisting the eq knobs but then I had to settle for flat volume control buttons. Overall, all the controls someone would need are all located on the speaker. Many changes could be made directly on the speaker without the need of a mobile device. In addition, the back of the speaker has an input for the power cable, aux, and a USB Type-A to charge mobile devices. Most of us need extra juice when partying or after a long day so that is a useful add-on.
____________
Audio Quality:
The speaker is equipped with the signature JBL Pro Sound blasting 100 watts of power. It is very powerful both inside and outside. The audio is pretty much the same as a regular JBL Partybox, this version just comes with the microphone. There is no significant sound distortion either. The tunes get slightly flat as the speaker reaches maximum values but it’s very minimal and barely noticeable to everyday users – not a dealbreaker at all. The highs and mids are very crisp and defined, while the lows are punchy. The lows are incredible as there are two “Bass Boost” options via the button on the speaker. They make a recognizable difference and truly enhance the quality of the output. Especially in genres that include prominent lows such as dance music/electro pop and rap.
____________
Overall, this is a very solid speaker with a powerful output and quality features. It’s well-made with extra attention to detail.

Great Karaoke Speaker that Punches Above its Size!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful party speaker! It has great sound quality and fun features that make it a must have for your next party with family and friends!
For a smaller form-factor portable speaker, this thing really packs a punch in terms of sound. The bass is excellent - rich and deep and punchy! The highs and mids sound great, especially for a speaker of this size - it punches above its size, so to speak.
As for fun, it includes a wireless microphone that works perfectly! It connects quickly and sounds awesome! It includes all of the expected microphone controls atop the speaker, including microphone volume, tone controls, and echo. Great stuff!
The light show on the front of the speaker is a lot of fun too, but can also be turned off if you want to save a little bit of battery life. The speaker also comes with a strap for easier carrying if you want to lug it to a party at a friend/family member's house!
Overall, this is an awesome speaker to have if you and your family like to have karaoke at their parties!

Life of the Party
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They’ll be fighting over who gets the mic next with this Party on the Go karaoke extravaganza. Sure to bring excitement to any gathering. Wireless microphone powered by two AA batteries lasts all night and has an adjustable echo/reverb. Speaker volume is impressive although its bass frequency response leaves a little punch to be desired. Overall, love this speaker is great for small parties and sing alongs.

The Entertainment Boombox!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is TRULY an all-in-one entertainment system! Whether you want to listen to your favorite music at high volume, sing along to your favorite music, or MC a social event, the PartyBox On-The-Go is all you need. The sound quality is impeccable, the mic is handy, and the light show adds a lot of fun to any occasion. The boombox itself is portable and easy to carry or stow if you need. It produces A-1 sound that includes some of the deepest bass a stereo can offer. The adjustable levels allow you to listen to music or your own voice as loudly and clearly as you want. Taking the mic into your hands really makes you feel like a superstar, and it has given me and my daughter tons of karaoke fun! I also brought it to my brother’s themed birthday party where we used it to get the attention of the partygoers and make announcements, as well as have a karaoke battle! It’s nice to show up to a party and bring the party with you! Another great feature is that it doesn’t need to always be plugged in to work. It’s wireless! So handy! Also, you can hook up a guitar to it… I don’t play the guitar (or any instrument) but would love to test this out one day!
Overall, this is such a great product for the price, and I can’t recommend it enough to the entertainer, the music lover, the artist, and people who love having fun with a microphone.

Essentially the life of the party!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Party Box On-The-Go Essential is a very impressive unit. The sound quality is amazing and karaoke makes it the life of the party. Karaoke brings so much joy and fun to any day! I am loving singing with our kids. I can see this has brought out so much joy and creativity within us all since having it for a week.
The party box has so many features and is really going to make the life of the party where ever it goes. The microphone is powered by two AA batteries. It is wireless but has an optional wire if desired. The microphone is light and does not feel cheap. It is rated for 30 feet we tested it out recently at an Easter party outdoors to announce the egg hunt and a few games too. Everyone was able to hear it clearly from the yard and there were not any distortion while talking. The microphone has its own volume control so you can adjust the Bluetooth music more or less if want some background music while talking or when doing karaoke you can turn the music up so you are more of a background singer (for those of us who get stage fright).
It has the option to hook a guitar up also via an AUX cord.
It has a tablet or phone docking area if you would like to follow along with the lyrics for karaoke.
The lights can sync to your music or voice when talking. There are different color options and patterns to pick from. It was so fun to
The sound is clear and crisp with no distortion. It can easily be controlled by the Bluetooth on your phone. It was seamless to pair the device.
The party box really bumps. You can feel the bass coming from the front of the speaker. It has an option for bass boost too which is very impressive and really pumps it out.
The party lights can go to the beat of the music or a someone when they are speaking.
The battery life is rated for 6 hours
It is very easy to carry and has a comfortable gym bag like strap along with the handles on the side too. It has two places for the microphone to be secured and can add additional mics too but only comes with the one. The microphone is secure when walking around with it. My 7 & 9 year old kids were carry it around no problem too and serenading our neighbors.
The design is great and I love the carrying strap and microphone holder. Overall I would give it a 10/10. I am very happy with the Party Box On-The-Go Essential. It is such a fun design and will make any gathering more interactive and fun!

amazing speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love absolutely everything about this speaker! When it comes to size its big enough where you know you will get a lot of sound but not too big to the point where you cant take it around with you. The microphone that it comes with is perfect for those Karaoke nights! When it comes to sound, the quality is amazing with a tough bass along with the bass boost button if you need more. Perfect speaker to host a party!

Great Party Speaker!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a speaker that was fun, easy to carry and has great sound. The JBL Party Box on the Go checks those boxes. Is doesn't get more fun that connecting your Bluetooth device to the speaker and use the included microphone to sing along your favorite songs or connect a guitar to the speaker and fill the backyard with sound. The speaker also comes with an included elastic band attached to the speaker so I can put the mic when it is not being used. I was able to take this speaker to many places thanks to its carrying strap, it even comes with a metal bottle opener!!! How cool is that!? Speaking of cool features the speaker lights up with the music, you can turn off this feature to save battery or if you don't want the lights. The sound is very good, just wish there was a bit more bass since it doesn't sound as punchy, however this will vary depending on the music genre I was listening to since some genres don't requiere the punchy bass. Overall this is a very fun speaker for a party or just to chill in the backyard with family and friends. Another great product by JBL!

Multi Tool of Speakers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The speaker is the most versatile speaker I have ever seen. It has many functions and options. The sound is powerful and pumping it is clear and crisp at all volume levels. With the EQ controls you can adjust the Bass and Treble with ease. The speaker is sleek and stylish and actually pretty light weight for its size and it very easy and simple to connect devices and controls. The speaker also has a karaoke function and comes with an awesome mic that connects automatically and if that is not enough the is a jack for another mic. It also can function as an amp for a guitar or you can play along with your music. The light show is a pretty cool add on that helps keep the vibe and tempo going. The battery life is pretty solid and you can also charge your devices with the USB port. Truly a Party On The Go, it is an all round Multi Functional Speaker with superb sound and quality

Box that lights up any room with music
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a tiny powerhouse. Perfect speaker for karaoke date nights. Easy to carry anywhere. One touch connectivity for the wireless mic. Icing on the cake is that it works with Guitar. Shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. Loved the part where the light ring on the speaker dances to the music. Definitely recommend it for anyone.

So Much Fun...And Portable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Partybox On-The-Go Essential speaker is truly amazing given all the possibilities. The sound is crisp and clear, pairing is fast and easy, and using the microphone is such a great time.
The product comes with a microphone (battery powered, AA) a carrying strap and power cord. Pairing and setup only took a minute to connect via bluetooth to a phone, the connection between the mic and the speaker was similar, and within a couple minutes, I was playing instrumental music from my phone and singing along.
The speaker also has an auxiliary port and a USB port so users don't necessarily have to use bluetooth via their phone to connect.
Also, while I thought the strap might be impractical, it's been a lifesaver since multiple people have mentioned bringing this over for game nights, etc. It's surprisingly portable considering the music power and quality it delivers.
I highly recommend this to anyone who is either looking for a portable, amazing speaker, or those who want to dabble in karaoke without investing in a full blown professional system.

Sleek and powerful speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sleek design and the sound is unexpectedly very powerful. I also tried out the microphone and sang some karaoke and the sound quality was very crisp. It is a perfect device for an outdoor bbq and the battery life is incredible. I also downloaded the party box app which allows me to control the settings and the light. The light show was pretty cool and my 2 year old really loves changing the settings. This speaker will light up a party and you can’t go wrong with it!

The ultimate portable party starter!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker has truly impressed me with its functionality and features. Despite being slightly bigger than expected, its portability remains great thanks to the strap and microphone holder. It easily transforms any setting into a lively party and the light show feature brings it to the next level. Setting it up was a breeze and I barely had to read any of the instructions. It felt easy and intuitive to use! But my favorite thing about this speaker is the added waterproof feature which adds an extra layer of convenience and peace of mind. The sound quality is great, and the ability to seamlessly control and mix both the music and microphone audio is outstanding. My only minor gripe is the placement of the microphone holder at the back, which prevents the speaker from sitting flush against the wall during storage. Overall, it's an outstanding product!

Ready for any party!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With this speaker you are ready to party! I love that this speaker has so many features for whatever kind of party you are having. The lights and bass boost both create an amazing atmosphere. The lights are fun and have multiple different options. The bass boost really makes a difference in the music and definitely changes the party. One negative was how difficult it was to get the microphone to connect initially. The quick start guide didn’t offer any clear instructions on how to make it connect but after trying different things I was able to make it connect by turning the mic volume knob all the way off and then back on. Once it was connected I have been able to turn the mic off and back on and it connects seamlessly. The battery life is pretty good considering the range of options available on this speaker. I also love the handles and carry strap that comes with it. Lastly I do love that it’s splash resistant in case anything accidentally spills!

Great speaker. Lacking microphone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice speaker. Lights are a cool feature and the sound quality from Bluetooth is good. The only thing that I have to say in a negative manner is the microphone audio quality. The microphone itself feels nice it doesn’t feel like a cheap mic. The quality is lacking though. Slightly delayed and not a very clean sound.

Great Product and Great Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this thing. Its a solid portable speaker and does a great job of making a lot of good sound. It is a bit lighter on the bass but overall I think that it does a really good job. It really comes into its home in outdoor areas as it does a great job of filling a lot of space with sound with out being overpowering. My only gripe would be that it can only link with another speaker of its type and cant use TWS like all the other partyboxes. As for the microphone, it sounds great and doesn't have feedback or any other issues; however, setting it up was a bit confusing (turn the mic on and set it on top of the speaker then turn the speaker on). Overall, sounds great though and a very quality product. Also liked the sound modification knobs on top of it.

On the Go does not work with app
I purchased the on the go essential to go with my other two party boxes 120. They pair without any issues but have learned after buying that it will not work with the JBL Party Box App. Very disappointed. The reason it is called “on the go” is that it is very light and portable. Why would this not be included in the app? Very poor that JBL does not include this speaker in there Party Box Collection even though they market it as a Party Box. WHY????????????????? What a miss????????????????
Hoping that they will add the on the go to the app soon.
