They have same power and options. Just the shape and speaker ports are different. Online reviews say the Encore Essential has better bass because of the larger rear port. They sound great in my garage gym. At this price you can't go wrong with either one. It's just your preference on size and shape of the box the Encore Essential is a little tall but I don't mind.

Yes. I bought 2 on the last sale and paired them. One is more than enough.

100W? This must have quite a good loud output?

People say the battery life is pretty short, maybe 2 hours at max volume.

Bought at Sam's Club for $149 on sale so this deal is just ok. Great sound for the price.

Boombox 3 is a lot better. More portable, better bass, clearer sound.

Isn't the Boombox 3 on a completely different price level? The regular price being like twice as much as this at regular price. It should sound better.

Not a lot better over here. I prefer the Encore to the Boombox 3

Press the buttons labelled TWS on both speakers to connect the speakers in TWS mode

TWS can be activated and deactivated remotely in the JBL Partybox app, in addition to assigning the left and right channels to the correct speakers.
Once the TWS connection is setup, it will be in Stereo mode by default if both speakers are the same model, otherwise the speakers will be in Party mode by default if different Partybox models are used. You can also switch between Stereo and Party mode in the JBL PartyBox app if two of the same Partybox models are used.
