Professional EON ONE Compact All-in-One Battery-Powered Personal PA System with Bluetooth Woofer, 120 Watts

Awesome sound and best for personal and studio

Delivery on time. Perfect for small churches. We used it as Monitor in our church as well as brought with us when we go for outside program. Battery last too long that it had never ran out on us. Price is fair enough for the quality. Must have gadgets.

Good product

Using Jbl eon 208p in our Church, added this for monitor purpose & for outdoor use when required. Initially not happy with it as I was not able to manage its knobs & settings through its physically controls which are not clear & it was not sounding as good as our existing eons. Next day I downloaded its app & linked them & adjusted its eqs etc & it was whole new world & it started to sound better than our eons. To all users, app use is a must to get the best out of this speaker. Battery I have charged once & taken it out & will use only when required, so backup I dont know.

I am a guitarist and singer, and I purchased the JBL EON ONE Compact mainly for private gigs and personal music listening. Sound Quality: For the price point, the overall sound quality is not up to the mark. While the clarity is decent, the output doesn’t feel powerful or rich enough to justify the cost. The Bluetooth playback, in particular, is not loud enough compared to what one would expect at this price range. Mixing & Controls: Sound shaping is a bit disappointing. Adjusting bass and treble feels limited, and proper mixing is harder than expected. Even with tweaking, it’s difficult to get a punchy or warm sound. Effects (Reverb, Delay, Chorus): This is one of the weaker areas. Even when the reverb, delay, or chorus are set to full, the effect is very subtle and doesn’t add much character or depth. For live performers who rely on effects, this can be underwhelming. What’s Good: The vocal and guitar input quality is genuinely good. Mic and instrument inputs are clean, clear, and usable for live performance. It works well for small gatherings of around 20–30 people, making it suitable for intimate gigs, house concerts, or small events. Final Verdict: The JBL EON ONE Compact is portable and convenient, and it performs well for basic vocal and guitar amplification. However, considering the price, the sound output, Bluetooth loudness, mixing flexibility, and onboard effects could have been much better. Best suited for: ✔ Small private gigs ✔ Solo performers ✔ Casual listening ✖ Not ideal if you expect powerful sound, strong effects, or advanced mixing

The EON ONE COMPACT P.A. system is professional level, sound is good, very loud (120w), all the controls are great. But still there are some issues. Having used a few times, if it is left idle for some time, like 30 mins, it will disconnect from the mobile from which we are controlling it through Bluetooth. If there are some people between the box and the controlling mobile, the Bluetooth connection is not stable, the music streaming is stuttering/stumbling, gets cut every few seconds, then after 1 second it will continue. Connecting properly to the box from the mobile by Bluetooth takes 2-3 attempts, because if the box is connected AS A (MERE) BLUETOOTH SPEAKER, the controlling app simply will not do anything. Connected FROM THE APP (JBL Compact Connect) will make the app work properly. When connected, it will work good.

Good

After lot of research, Finally ordered this one. Everything is perfect about this speaker but just reverb. It is not that great from the knobs but it can be increased by their app

Muy buen funcionamiento y excelente calidad del sonido para mi mariachi en eventos pequeños.

I bought this item for use at small-venue gigs for monitoring, backing tracks etc. Item arrived well-packed, no issues with battery charging/battery life. Setup was straightforward (recommend CH2 for backing/line-level and save CH1 for mics requiring phantom power. Support was awesome when I encountered issues with the app (use JBL Pro Connect). after that, smooth sailing all the way! This unit has more than enough power for small venues, plenty of low-end handling, also sounds amazing when BT streaming. On the live performance side, I run Roland SPD One WAV through an ART Tube MP Studio into CH2, and add some bass to add punch to backing tracks. The on-board FX are a bonus - we normally use outboard units and will experiment with the on-board options. EQ is simple to set on-board, and even better with the JBL Pro Connect app. Great value, good price point, will definitely consider a second unit, THANKS!

TLDR: Absolutely the best portable Bluetooth speaker & PA system Purchased: October 2020 for CAD$691+tax from Amazon Warehouse deals. Updated this review at least once a year since. My requirements: A solid, movable, battery powered, Bluetooth speaker with excellent clear sound quality and lots of power. I'm an audiophile-- sound quality is most important to me. Tested a number of battery powered speakers and PA systems including Bose S1 pro, JBL PartyBox 100, 300, Ion Party Rocker etc before settling on this. What this is: A professional PA system for performers, MCs, Karaoke etc. What I use it for: Speaker for outdoor dancing events, with a cheap tablet for music & app control. Recommended for: Tinkerers with some understanding of audio equipment-- Effort & time is required. Not Recommended for: Anyone wanting a speaker to work perfectly right out of the box with zero effort (and there's nothing wrong with that). PROS: - Sound quality: LOUD, clean, crisp & clear-- it's louder and clearer than a lot of (older) pro equipment-- we ALWAYS compliments our music and how clear it is. - Build: Solid AF, good for the next 10 years or more. - Portability: Small enough to walk short distances using the handle- get a backpack for longer distances. - Bass: I'm a bass-head and this has all the bass you'll need and more-- Learn to use the speaker controls and app. - Bluetooth: Works extremely well. Great quality with no disconnection. Connect and forget about it. - Battery: Since winter 2020, I've used this 1-3x week for outdoor events up to 6 hours long for a crowd of up to 50ppl. Recharge immediately-- a little care goes a long way. - App: Packed with lots of features, effects and with full control of the equalizer and mixer. - No annoying lights! Cons: - Not waterproof, but splash proof - Weight & Portability: Weight and size is at lower end of portability. Backpack recommended for anyone not used to carrying awkward grocery bags on a regular basis. - App: Horrible interface, slow, un-intuitive, poorly designed. - Battery: As with all rechargeable batteries, cold weather can cause issues. One time it ran for less than an hour at -2C at at outdoor event. Otherwise its been good. Spares recommended in cold weather. - Price: Expensive-- try Amazon warehouse deals. - No sexy lights! Tips: - Install and learn to use the JBL app (take pleasure in pulling teeth!) - Learn to use the mixer in the JBL app - Learn how to use controls on the speaker -- gives you more bass than you need - Upgrade the firmware. - Aux and other physical inputs gives better audio quality that Bluetooth (if you pay attention) - Get a speaker stand & speaker cover for rainy days. Its direct competitor is the Bose S1 Pro compact. The JBL is ALWAYS better for DJs, music and & parties, the Bose *might* sound more natural sound out of the box-using the JBL mixer fixes this. Definitively has way better Bluetooth than the Bose and most party-speakers. Also, the JBL PartyBoxes reduce the bass output when on battery only-- which is not the case with the EON One compact. If you get this, Please take the time to learn how to use it.

Well, when it works, it is fantastic. Great sound, very good battery life. We have used it about five times in the last year since we bought it new in May 2024 and now are having problems. It always powers on but only sometimes has any amplification. If we keep turning it on and off, eventually it will work. Very annoying when setting up for a gig and it malfunctions. I’ll do a follow up to inform what kind of customer service I get. Disappointing to say the least.

I'm not sure why this PA speaker has a lot of bad reviews. I think it depends on what you are using this for. If you plan to use this outdoors for music or live speaking, I don't think would be powerful enough. For me, I purchased this to play music from my iPhone in my home office. Its a nice tight little package and the sound is impressive for my application. Bass is deep and rich. Highs are crisp and it's loud without distortion. Again, you need to consider your application. While it has 4 channels to plug in musical instruments or microphones, I actually think that would overload it. One channel would be fine in my opinion. It has a nice built-in handle on the top and I can carry to my deck or other area within my home to play music. I have the JBL boombox 2 but wanted something a bit more "professional" looking sitting in my office. Perfect for my needs in every way and bluetooth works for me all over my first floor from my iPhone. Plus, the seller is selling this at a discount as a New open box. Mine was factory sealed and was brand new so win win for $420 bucks!
