JBL PartyBox 110 vs PartyBox Encore Essential

The JBL PartyBox 110 is a better speaker than the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential. The 110 can get slightly louder at max volume and has better directivity, so you have more flexibility with your listening angle without sacrificing sound quality. It also has a longer-lasting battery life of almost 15 hours, making it better suited to longer listening sessions. It also comes with mic and guitar inputs. That said, the Encore packs more low-bass despite its smaller size, and it still gets quite loud. While it doesn't have a guitar input, you can still connect a mic to the speaker via its mic input.
