This is the JBL PartyBox On-The-Go. It’s the newest addition to the JBLs PartyBox line of powered Bluetooth, DJ-type speakers, and this one’s pretty cool.
First of all, it’s portable. It’s got a six-hour battery life, it’s got a padded shoulder strap, you can take your music anywhere you want to go.

In addition to the battery and all the power, the PartyBox On-The-Go has a couple of extra cool features. For example, it’s got a wireless mic included. Now I’m going to go ahead and turn this thing on here, and I’ve got my phone queued up to play a song by my band Big.

So there, the JBL speaker is matched up with my phone. You’re going to see this Bluetooth light up here to see that it is synced up and ready to play music, right about now, and I’m gonna take the microphone out of its holder, I’m gonna turn it on, and now I’m ready to sing along with it.
Should I sing? Yeah, I think I will, I’m gonna sing along. “Just about my time to go head on back to reality…” So I want to demonstrate a couple of cool things here.
You can make some neat adjustments with the microphone, there are three adjustments here, we’ve got bass, treble, and echo so I can tune it for my voice, get just the right amount of bass and mid-range. I can also add echo, so if I want to sound like I’m in a cave or in a huge chamber, I can do that, or if I want it completely dry I can turn all the echo off, and that’s all with the included wireless mic.
In addition to the included wireless mic, we’ve got a couple of other inputs here on the top of the speaker underneath some weatherproof caps. On this side here, we’ve got a guitar input with a separate gain adjustment.

Here we’ve got a hard-wired microphone input with its own gain adjustment, so in addition to the handheld wireless mic that’s included, you can go with an additional wired mic, an additional guitar, all while playing music from either Bluetooth from your phone or from a USB memory stick right here on the back of the unit, which is perfect if you have a pre-setup playlist of music.
You can just plug that in and go to town. One cool thing, if you’re doing that karaoke thing there, is actually like a nice slot right here on the top that is perfect for placing a tablet like an iPad. So maybe you put that on there, you watch some YouTube videos, there’s plenty of karaoke videos all over YouTube, play the music Bluetooth through the speaker and sing along with the microphone.
It’s a pretty cool thing, and it’s super easy to do. So you may have noticed while the music was playing there was a light on around that big five- and-a-quarter-inch woofer on the front. That light show can be customized so that it moves and lights up with the beat of the music, or with whatever you’re saying on the microphone, or you can set it to a more constant thing, or you can turn it off completely if you don’t want to see the light.
Also, this PartyBox On-The-Go is IPX4-rated, so it is splash-proof.
