Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM vs JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2

The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 and the Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM are both good speakers for soundtracking indoor and outdoor parties, but they have different strengths. The Ultimate Ears doesn't have a fully 360-degree design, but it still sounds more similar from different angles than the JBL. Its 24-hour battery life also far surpasses the JBL speaker's 12-hour battery life. On the other hand, the JBL offers mic and guitar inputs. If you're a karaoke fan or like to jam along with your favorite tunes, the JBL is the obvious choice, while if you envisage taking this speaker away for a weekend camping trip, the Ultimate Ears is the way to go.
