JBL and Best Buy both do it again. I play keyboard and sing, and this speaker is great on its own for a small venue like a coffee house gig. The sound from it is impressive for such a small and light speaker. Keyboard amps are notoriously heavy, so I'm so grateful to have a speaker that can put out great sound at about a third of the weight. It is an amazing Bluetooth speaker as well - great for outdoor parties and get-togethers. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought a second one, and the stereo sound and volume with two is amazing. It is a bit pricey, but worth the cost for the sound and features. It's my new go-to PA for gigs and outdoor events. The battery lasts an amazingly long time as well - many hours (haven't had it long enough to test it out but haven't had ... MoreJBL and Best Buy both do it again.

The battery lasts an amazingly long time as well - many hours (haven't had it long enough to test it out but haven't had to charge it yet). So pleased with my purchase, and grateful to Best Buy for being one of the few places with it in stock and providing such great service from the order to pickup.

Owned this product for about a month in December 2020. Sounds fine but had some major issues. The main problem is that much of the functionality of this speaker is tied in to the app. I consistently had issues in multiple areas with the app. To get the most of the speaker it has to be EQd, depending on the situation. Here the app failed miserably. I would set the EQ and save the settings, but the app refused to keep the settings. It would randomly disconnect and repeated attempts to reconnect would fail until finally, at some point, it would connect again. Once reconnected, EQ would reset and since settings wouldn't really save, it had to be manually EQd every single time. It was impossible to maintain a consistent sound. I also had some issues with the halo lights ... MoreOwned this product for about a month in December 2020. Sounds fine but had some major issues.

I also had some issues with the halo lights used to indicate gain/volume. Sometimes they made sense (100% full halo meant 100% volume). Other times it made no sense (70% full halo meant 100% volume). This speaker has potential, but until the firmware/app are fixed, it's just a pain to use.

The JBL Eon Compact One is a really nice quality piece of kit! From the first time you hold it you can feel how solid the build is. Couple this with its compact form factor, sleek design and well thought out inputs and controls and its a winner.And once you add the JBL app into the equation it moves into a different league entirely! One big plus with this unit is the fact that as well as being able to add separate EQ to all of mic and instrument inputs (either 2 band manually or 7 band using the app) you can also add that same level of EQ to the auxilliary channel which means you can also EQ backing tracks or background music whether you connect up through a cable or the great onboard bluetooth! The battery life is good and because its a Lithium Ion battery it ... MoreThe JBL Eon Compact One is a really nice quality piece of kit!

The battery life is good and because its a Lithium Ion battery it keeps the weight down nicely. The ability to take a snapshot of your settings for a particular location is great as this means that when you return to that same location uou can simply recall your EQ settings by a touch of a button in the app, a great way to save set up time! My only real dislike about the unit is the fact that despite JBL claiming that its the loudest in category, like all of these small amps it could do with a little more volume but for most busking or small indoor events where you don't need to lift the roof this is a great quality solution! Up to FOUR of these can be linked and controlled by one device and all can be individually adjusted too so you can cover virtually any situation and if you have other active speakers there's a pass through output to allow you to add them to the JBL as reinforcement. So in conclusion - if your'e after a portable solution offering quality sound at a reasonable price then this offering from JBL is definitely worthy of your consideration!
