JBL - PartyBox Club 120

It's simple, since you're willing to take any of them to the park, i assume that size and weight doesn't matter too much, so, it all comes down to the sound and price, and in that regard, the partybox is cheaper and way more powerful. The Boombox 3 has more battery life though, but i doubt you'll drain an entire partybox 120 on just a day of playing, and even then, its battery is replaceable, so you can buy another battery and swap it when the first runs out. Another point to note is that bb3 is waterproof and the partybox is not, but i assume no one is playing basketball on a rainy day.

After months reading this sub I can finally give my opinion. I bought the Partybox 120 and spent the summer vacations with it. Some pool party, some lounge music in the park, some hard partying in the basement. Oh, it delivered! The bass is so full that it fills any outdoor place and if you really want to party it will amaze everyone. At night parties I plugged it into a mixer and a computer via cable, light features on and plug it to the electricity. It is amazing. Never tried or listen to the boombox.

Partybox all day. Blew every expectation I had. I currently have Partybox 120, but I’m looking for 320 or 520 Just an absolute monster of a speaker, bass hits hard

The boombox is also really nice, a bit more portable. Loud, clear, ok bass But the partybox is sick, on a different level

You should look into JBL Partybox 120 I have 2. Been the talk of every party I’ve brought them to

Jbl Partybox 120 is very good Kinda big, but it’s easy to carry around Loud, bass boost deep, it’s nice

What do you have now? How portable do you want it? How much do you want to spend? Do you have any ideas what you want? I spent a lot of time listening to different Bluetooth speakers in the store. I ended up with the JBL Partybox 120. Really happy with it. Sounds amazing. I do however sometimes wish I went with something slightly more portable like an Xtreme. But the amount of times I'd use it out of the house, I'm overall happy with my choice.

My pair of PartyBox 120s are my fav. I also have a pair of JBL flip 6s and pair of UboomXs

JBL tends to be at the top of the heap for sound quality in the size and classes they compete in. Value though is a different story as they also tend to be close to the top of the heap in price. This carries over to most of their products. If you can find them on sale though, that’s when they start to pull away. Like the Studio 590 towers I have. At regular retail the set would’ve been $2K+, but on sale I got them for $900 shipped. At the sale price they frankly don’t have a competitor. Same for my PartyBox 120. At $400 it’s pretty expensive, on sale I bought it for ~$250 and it’s an insane value at that price.

Gen 3 B&O is out now but, I'm still rocking the 2nd Gen for potable great sound, and it's good enough for under $140 on Amazon renewed, and I'm using my JBL Partybox Club 120 for my whole home theater setup in my Den connected to my JBL Clip 5, and a JBL Go 4 linked in Auracast and it works well all together!

Go for powered (built-in amplifier) speakers. I have transitioned from bluetooth speakers to stereo bookshelf speakers and I am not going back. I have Q Acoustics M20. And if you need more bass, wait a year or two, save some money, and go buy a subwoofer and connect it with the speakers. I have an SVS SB-1000. For a small to s-medium room you will never get worried about clarity, volume and bass again. If you go bluetooth you will always ask for more. However, if it is for outdoor use spend as much as you can afford to a JBL Partybox (for your budget, I'd recommend 120 or 320). Don't go to Sony (no bass at high volumes, I have a XB-43). Don't go small, as before, you will ask for more very soon.

i literally bought both the pb120 and bb3 to see which one i like more, trust me the bb3 is if not as loud as the pb120 if plugged in

technically yea true i did feel the difference between the bb3 bass and pb120 bass both plugged in, but if you just plug your bb3 in and unplug the pb120 they literally are soo close to the same amount of bass. and when you own one and not both i assure everybody in the world that you wont recognise any difference. i do gotta say tho, when listening to songs with both lots of bass or little bass the bb3 sounds clearer as it has different drivers for the low, mid, and highs as far as i know, i dont know too much technically about boxes

can you afford the 120?

its better than the 110 in sound lights and battery id say yes( it has a eq for movies)

while i have no experience against the UE, the 120 will definitely hit harder and sound larger due to its larger body
