EON ONE MkII

I tried this against my friend's soundbox 1 & 2, with superior quality and portability. I have not run the battery out yet, and I have hosted three parties with this. I will update after a hot Florida summer and beaches. Detailed review for my snobs. 1. Portability. It takes about 1 minute to set up and be ready to go. No power is needed at all. 2. Battery Life. I used the speaker at a pool party for about 4 1/2 hours, 3 PM - 7:30 PM at about 80% volume, and saw almost no battery lost. 100% was honestly way too loud for our group of 40. 3. Controls. I used an Ipad Mini and My JBL Pro APP to control each channel. I used the speaker to speak at a dance conference, and it did sensational with my Rode wireless mic hooked up to channel 1 with an XLR adapter. I was able to control my pitch and volume separately and flawlessly with my iPad. 4. Loudness & Bass: I was in a 3,000 SQFT Ballroom, and I placed it dead center while I was teaching my dance class and had no issues filling the room with audio. Now for a large party for more than 200 People, I recommend the 2nd one to increase the range. If the ceiling is low in the venue in which you're using it, you will not be disappointed. The bass is much stronger than the soundbox three especially connected to power. We tested both sides by the side in a 2,000 SQFT clubhouse, and the separate bass module for the JBL made the difference. It was also slightly louder powered, and the battery sounded about the same, but the JBL was much crisper at higher volumes. Overall: This is the kind of super Bluetooth speaker. I have been looking for something portable but powerful, and this is absolutely the best product I have ever used. I cannot wait to purchase another one this summer for beach parties. May 2023 Update: still working perfectly even extremely hot Florida weather. Ran it 6 Hours at a pool party and no issues at all.

Arrived non functional. Amazon would not do a return directly. I had to contact JBl (Harman) and spend 2 hours troubleshooting on the phone before they would send me a shipping label. After sending it back to them, they repaired it and then charged me as a non-warranty repair. TOTAL NIGHTMARE!!! UPDATE…After 8 weeks of being jerked around I finally got my unit back and they covered the repair (as they should have!) Just know that if you have a problem it’s a real pain in the … to get it made right.

As an independent mobile DJ, this speaker rocks!! The sound quality can fill a medium sized hall and two of them really pack a punch inside such a small package. While I did have signal issues using TWS, I don’t really have the need for that since I wire these up through a mixer, although there is a pass thru option. The battery life is great, easily getting me through 4 hour gigs with a little headroom left. They’re very easy to set up and tune and the build quality is great. Highly recommend!

As a working pro musician for many years. It was arduous to decide which one to buy. I had already invested in other speakers and audio equipment. I went with the JBL ION one MK2. I will generally only use the two spacers. The third or middle one appears to lean. I tested the difference in large empty hall and it will do with two columns. Of course the more people you have in front of you the worst the "audio throw is". Your decibels are affected with humanity nearby. Not sure what improvements have been made over the MK1, but this one suffices for my needs. There is lot of discussion on the negative JBL customer service and the poor battery life. I have yet to experience that since I just started using the device. PROS: Good clear sound. Menu display okay. Intuitiveness could use a revamp. More on the initial setup and negatives. The bass quality is great. The treble is passable. Portability is one of the main reasons I purchased. This unit will eliminate about 80% of my chords, including electrical AC plugs and additional Amps. I plug in one mic, one music iPad, and one guitar. The guitar not so good quality. The mic quality is above average. Mic levels are easy to edit, you can add "reverb" to your hearts content. CONS: make sure you turn up the "gain" knob on all of the channels, otherwise you won't get much sound. It is factory default at the lowest gain. Making you think I don't have any sound coming out. Yes JBL does not explain this little detail in the setup. The quick start up guide sucks. It has one page with the barest of all details. The power on button after long pressing it, takes about 15 seconds to start. The power off button after a long press take 5 seconds to turn off the unit. The display is small, and the battery level indicator is a tiny little icon. Come on. Also after charging the bottom light on the bass unit stays on. ?. No unit cover, you have to buy the cover and carrier for $167. If I bought this cover, I will still have to carry my guitar, and mic stand, and assorted smaller wires, and cables into each gig. There could be elevators, stairs, and other obstacles. So don't let this unit fall, it is made of plastic all over. The three tower attachments are flimsy. Be careful when taking them apart. Be sure to tap in place, otherwise you will only get the bass output. I might report back soon after a few gig applications are done. Oh yeah, because of the higher up/array line up of speakers, as a solo artist you can hear yourself better, and there is no need for a separate monitor. Less setup and breakdown time, and more time for mic checks, and getting paid. Have a great show everyone!

The sound is pro! The onboard effects are variable and really makes my voice sound better. I use it every other day and it lasts 5 hours plus. I’ve never run it to zero yet. Good volume to get over loud voices at small venues or traffic noise. No complaints at all!

Great sound, easily portable, reasonable price.

Muy bueno, me gusta mucho la calidad de sonido, solo que a cierto volumen como que se protege y comienza a clippear

Es un equipo con un sonido de calidad, pero siempre estuve expectante a la vida util de la batería. Ya que la batería la he visto a precios muy elevados. Quise cambiar únicamente la pila interna pero este modelo no está a la venta por ningún sitio. Te están obligando a comprar la extensión con pila hecha exclusivamente por JBL a costos muy elevados.

Es un buen prducto con una gran calidad de sonido, cubre bien espacios bastantes amplios

Se escucha muy bien y fuerte. Para las ecualizaciones y efectos hay muchos presets y pequeñas modificaciones solo con la app es posible. App un poco confusa y sensibilidad para manejarla en iPad no muy buena. Tiene mixer de 5 canales digitales pero se puede manejar manualmente como si fueran análogos. Diseñada para pequeños grupos musicales. Sub-woofer suena muy fuerte y dispersión 140/30 grados(horizontal/vertical) te pone el sonido donde lo requieres a 123dB máximos de SPL. Tiene filtros "anti feed back" y se puede emplear como monitor y PA poniendo la bocina a 2 metros detrás de los micrófonos. Buen producto

Tiene muy buena calidad de sonido me gusto. El único inconveniente que le veo es que no tiene mucha potencia en volumen. Ralacionabolo JBL party 310, tienen exactamente la misma potencia de volumen . Y la diferencia de precio es mucho más con JBL Eon MK2. Y aparte me llego en caja muy dañada como si estuviera vieja la caja de mucho tiempo y que la hubieran estando arrastrando. Pero todo muy bien empapado y al parecer todo el equipo es nuevo. Carga bien, aun no he podido revisar la durabilidad de pila, la he usado cono dos horas y le baja la carga de la pila muy poco. Este equipo es de muy buena calidad, práctico y cómodo el unico inconveniente que yo le veo en relacion al precio es que el volumen no es muy alto. Pede ser utilizado para salones pequeños como para 150 o 200 personas.
