"For example I believe some of the JBL PartyBoxes have lag on the aux in but not on the daisychain as that bypasses the DSP :)"

For 150-200$ look out for a partybox encore essential (used or not) this is the only portable speaker that has heavy bass). Or even look out for some used 100 series partybox
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What's your favorite bass monster with decent sound quality under $150? ->For a powerful Bluetooth speaker under $200, the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential is a solid choice — loud enough for both indoor parties and outdoor salsa sessions. It’s portable, has 10 hours of battery life, and offers some water resistance for pool or beach use. If you're open to spending a bit more, the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus also packs great sound and bass for its size. Both should fit easily in your backseat.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Blue Tooth Speaker with enough power for an indoor or outdoor party ->I tried the Energizer speaker that copy the JBL Encore essentiel and it was pure garbage. I feel like the speakers and the casing are ok, but the amplifier was full on trash. You can ear « sssssshhhhhhhh » in the background and it’s the type of speaker that will say something like « the bluftooth defvice if refdy for pairing »
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Thoughts? I don't see any reviews or anything at all online ->I've got the uboom x but I would recommend something else (lack of bass). JBL encore essential has good bass and is way loud. Check it out
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What’s the loudest speaker, with the best sound, that I can easily take on an airplane? Under $300 please. ->Hello, personally for the same use as you I took a JBL PartyBox essential when I want big sound and otherwise for when I travel I took a Sony ult field 5 which costs less than 300 euros! I have a reloop mixtour pro controller and an iPad and I'm on djay pro
r/PioneerDJ • Best portable speaker for Omnis Duo under €400? ->I don’t do this but I have a JBL partybox essential (the single woofer one) and it slaps
r/S2000 • Portable bluetooth speaker ->Get a JBL partybox encore essential / encore. Trust me on that, the one you mentioned is a big no no.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth party speaker ->I agree. For the price and quality of frequency range. Other option would be a Yamaha HS3’s with a sub.
r/PioneerDJ • 8yo got a FLX4 for Christmas! (need speaker help, please!) ->The JBL partybox series have zero delay - if you plug into the daisy chain port
r/PioneerDJ • Travel speakers ->Depends on the speaker. Some of the delay is caused by Bluetooth, and some by the DSP (signal processing) - aux will bypass the Bluetooth, but not necessarily the DSP. Some speakers have minimal-to-zero lag on the aux (Minirig, Tribit Stormbox Blast) and some still have significant. For example I believe some of the JBL PartyBoxes have lag on the aux in but not on the daisychain as that bypasses the DSP :)
r/Beatmatch • Best portable speakers? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
