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.

I ended up returning it, as the sound was so unbalanced. Music is NOT about ground shaking bass. Also, gimmicky clap and DJ sounds is a clear sign this is not a speaker for the actual music.

Dude, I have the 120 and yes, it is quite loud for its size in the socket, so it is unbearable. I believe you expected more from a box that already delivers a lot.

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.

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

If he still need rumbling bass, then choose deep bass +movie equalizer, it makes huge difference
