"The partybox ultimate would give a tad more of that deep bass, clarity, loudness, basically turning everything up to 11🔥🤣"
"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."
"offer brutal bass for their sizes"

"portable making it useful in many other situations beyond when I’m within listening distance of my tailgate."
"JBL Encore if you want something more portable. ... The Encore is more portable and lighter ... It depends on what you use it for and if you have to carry it often. ... when I want portability then I just have to use and carry one of them"

"the Partybox does its own processing that causes minor latency from the mixer. ... It clips like crazy if the sound isn't turned way up. ... Some speakers like the JBL Partybox have their own processing going on so there's a slight delay."
"I’ve used a JBL party box with auxiliary from my xdj before, there was definitely a delay between the mixer and the speaker…first few mixes were atrocious! took a while to get the hang of it"
"Doesn't it have DSPs which cause delay? ... For parties: get a good partybox which does have a non DSP input (so it does not cause delay)"

"they are quieter and not ass punchy when running off their battery."
"The JBL PartyBoxes consume so much power at party volume that they are mainly intended to be plugged in. ... The rechargeable battery is just an extra, I think. 🤷🏻♂️"
"the Partybox might be a stretch at 10 hours as it will probably be running closer to full blast"

"While I don't get stereo when connecting them"

"I'd say it's probably not going to cover it, that's a pretty big area if you're talking about being 15m away from the speakers."
"outdoor parties with 300 guests means that you're not gonna fill the whole space at your budget"
"Outside spread out it can be weak for 20 but definitely good for 10."

"JBL has IPX4, so no dust proof and but can take some splashing water like rain."
