greenthum6There are insane sales which makes comparison difficult. For example, here are sales prices I've found from big stores: - Boombox 3: 200e (from 599e) - Partybox Stage 320: 299e (from 599e) - Partybox Stage 120: 199e (from 399e) - Xtreme 4: 199e (from 349e) - Partybox 710: 319e (ftom 799e) I think all these are or and have been insane deals. I would say that Boombox 3 at 200e is maybe the best "worth it" for most, but for those wanting bigger sound Stage 320 at 299e was even better deal (these are the two JBLs I bought from this list at these prices).
Key_Leading_3014If you have power to plug in a jbl party box 710 will fill a huge area with sound local community group here use one when the do community days and it fills the whole outdoor area with good sound and the announcements come through well
mikeyo73I bought a JBL Partybox 710. The thing is a fucking weapon. Got it refurbished for $599. Get a mic and an ipad or whatever and you're not set for karaoke.
Miksu_the_car_guyCentered bass = best bass. I have a Devialet Phantom 2 98dB and it destroys all my JBL speakers. Even my JBL Partybox 710s are garbage against it. It's small, but mighty. Soon I will have a Devialet Phantom Ultimate 108dB!!!! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Negative_Towel8027The Partybox 720 is the way to go if you’re considering a partybox. Its pricey but worth it fs. I bought it last week and I must say; it is incredible, huge upgrade from the 710. If you’re on a budget then either the 120 or the 320.
PinoyRukusI’d go with 2 party 320s , vs 1 big 710 speaker. That way you can spread the sound and have a stereo sound field. Mount them up on tripods where the tweeter is above people’s ears this way it causes the sound not to be absorbed by people’s body’s and clothing. 710 on the floor going through 100 people the person in the back won’t have the same sound experience as the person in front of the speaker. Only thing the 710 will have an advantage with is maybe the bass cause bass is felt vs the upper frequencies are heard.
Pleasant-Rich5096I’d go JBL party box 710 since you said you don’t care for a battery, you won’t be disappointed
dr-phils-taintJBL charge series is always a great buy, With a $150 budget. I have had my JBL charge 3 since 2018, only recently upgraded to the party box series, because I wanted something bigger and with way more bass. For a desk speaker the charge 4-5 is perfect, it has enough bass with EQ added. The flip and the other smaller ones that you can clip on, are going to be slightly quiet compared to the charge series. The charge series is the happy medium between good sound and portability.
