"The battery lasts 24 hours, I take it on long camping trips and to festivals all the time and it's always up to the task."
"I don’t charge it until it’s dead. Think I use it 3 or 4 times before I recharge it. So somewhere between 6-8 hrs total play but never at full volume."

JBL boombox 2 or 3 they sound amazing and 24 hours playtime
Charge 6 is probably your best bet, much better than the 5. The Boom 2 is a great option too but you may find it too big. The Ult 3 is also a really good option but I prefer the Charge
Get the boom box 2 plus, has the bass option if you want it but can press a button and the bass is off. 140 watts. Thing sounds amazing
I have a Boombox 2 at home and a Flip 6 in my office. Both are plugged in 24/7. I take them out with me occasionally. Both are still in great condition. If you buy fake products, then you should worry. If you buy genuine products, you have nothing to worry about.
I have played my boombox 2 at full volume, and it never distorts. Even my cheaper W-King speakers don’t distort at max volume, and they get way louder.
Meh I’ll stick with my boom 2 pro. Better price with a incredible eq
If you want to hear the bass get the JBL Boombox 2 or 3. It’s such an awesome speaker and the battery life is top notch.
Pair of boom2 they’re the best dollar value now at Costco
Yeah but a JBL Boombox 3 is almost 15lbs and the Soundlink Max is around 5lbs. The Bose is expensive but a great recommendation for its weight class. If OP really only cares about bass and loudness then the Partybox series makes sense, but the 320 is 36lbs and comparing them makes less and less sense. OP might decide that 5lb is a significant enough of a difference to compromise on their stated priorities. The Boom 2 is mentioned but doesn't get the random disproportionate hate the Bose does for some reason.
I've had a JBL Boombox for 6 years, gone through every version, 1, 2, and 3. Without a doubt my favorite speaker on the market. My first one I got refurbished and it stopped charging after about 8 months, JBL support replaced it for free and upgraded me to the 2nd gen. That one got stolen out of my car, I emailed JBL to see if they would help me replace it and they replied in 2 hours with the biggest coupon they had available for me to replace it, I got the 3rd gen which is what I currently have for $300 instead of $500. It's louder than I could ever need, I used to max out the volume on the last two frequently, this one seems to hit that loudness at half volume. It has 2, 4 inch subs built in that SLAP, I've tested songs against many of my friends speakers and mine is always louder with more sub. It sounds great, I produce dubstep and check my masters on it. The battery lasts 24 hours, I take it on long camping trips and to festivals all the time and it's always up to the task. And JBL customer support are angels that will go to any length to keep their customers happy. 10/10 speaker that I will replace with the same thing if anything ever happens to this one. I would HIGHLY recommend the JBL Boombox 3 esp for EDM but it's really just a fantastic speaker.
