JBL - PartyBox Stage 320

i just know from my jbl 320 that there’s no delay but i don’t know about the smaller ones

Jbl partyboxes are some of the hardest hitting loud asf speakers with good quality audio in the market. Do you have a budget ud like to stick to or dou you want the best of the best😎😎

Well a partybox 710 would be killer for your use case and fits within your budget easily, if you wnana up a notch, you can go for the partybox ultimate but that costs quite a lot more. Either way both will be plenty loud for your use case. The partybox ultimate would give a tad more of that deep bass, clarity, loudness, basically turning everything up to 11🔥🤣 If it's too large for you, you can explore their partybox 320 or 310 on sale. Both are very similar but 320 has removable battery but costs more. If that's still too big, a jbl boombox 3 or a wking x20(slightly lower audio quality but higher peak volumes) would be ok still but depending on how loud your environment is, these smaller ones might not suffice. If you have a outlet and won't need the speakers to be easily portable, the partybox 710 and ultimate would be for you. If you wanna lower the budget a bit and wanna have options for battery and better portability(these 2 both have a luggage like handle and small wheels) you can go for the partybox 310 or 320. If you wanna have the best portability and battery you can go for the jbl boombox 3 or wking x20(for more volume instead)

You can probably get 2 jbl partybox 310 or 320 on sale, those will be awesome and adequate. 1 might be enough volume wise if in a small room but it would sound wierd as sound is only coming from 1 speaker, 2 will definitely work in 90% of conditions

Brane has more bass than the doss, but for that price of the brane you can get a jbl partybox 320 which will blow you away with bass and everything else

I'd go for the jbl partybox 320. Around your budget and is on a special sale for like 499$ on amazon. Very large, battery is replacable and lasts long

No probs man, you gonna be extremely surprised with what this speaker can do.

JBL Party box 320 it’s A-fuckmazing but big and heavy JBL extreme 3 perfect to take anywhere JBL flip 4 mostly for my wife to listen to books on. A ton of cheaper ones I have given away.

I probably would’ve gone with pa speakers if I wasn’t looking for some portability. I wanted the biggest battery powered option that’s why I settled on the 320, if I wanted just loud non portable options I would’ve gone with non JBL PA setup (way cheaper and my ears can’t hear that much of a difference) for home use. But the 320 works great for both! It rattles the walls at home and I sometimes take it in the truck to have the bass without putting in a permanent audio system in it.

Don’t really give us much to go on as far as what you’re looking for. I love my JBL stage 320 and think it’s the best bang for your buck, but it’s definitely not for everyone

Well try an JBL xtreme. In my opinion the best PORTABLE option. Also got 320. That’s massive but not really portable.

I took the Sony XV900 back and got two partybox 320s. The bass definitely sounds better on these. These actually work for your sets? These two are pretty loud and I think they would work but now I am wondering if I shouldn’t just get some JBL Eons. These partyboxes seem well rounded and have some punch to their bass, especially with the added bass features, but I am wondering if I should just go big and get two eons and a sub.

You could get a JBL 320, that will fully fill the room.   If you can find the 310 for cheaper, then get two.   It's more than plenty sound for a large room and they are portable so you'll get more use out of them.   Put them up high if you can spaced a bit apart.   You might also look into party rental places.   They will rent you a couple PAs and the setup for a much cheaper price.

Partybox stage 320 would be enough. It’s ipx4 water resistant. It gets louder when plugged in and has swappable batteries and can be used plugged in without the battery, so it should have a very long life span.

Harmon Kardon’s eBay page has refurbished boombox 2’s with a manufacturers warranty for $240. They also have Partybox’s new and refurbished with warranties $300-$400. The Partybox is your best bet if size is not an option.

The party box will always sound fuller especially the higher the volume and you’ll hear the bass from further away. It really depends on your use case though. If you need it to be rugged and have long battery life the boombox is your best bet. You can fashion a shoulder strap for it I did on my OG boombox. It performs its best with a lot of hard surfaces near it like cement floors, walls. Not so good in wide open outdoor spaces. For wide open spaces party boxes are the answer. I have a BB1 and an Xtreme 2. Both together I can get away with about 10ish people being loud and about 30 feet away in open space BBQing at the park before it’s noticeably weaker than I want it to be. This can be good if you don’t want to disturb people around you though. I’m thinking of getting a Partybox 120 if it goes on sale.

I highly recommend a JBL boombox 2 or 3. I have the first generation and it’s great. If you want to save money go for the Tribit Storm Box Blast. For fully water proof those are the best options. They will all definitely be loud enough. If you want louder and don’t care about water proofing go for the jbl Partybox series.

Look for a new or refurbished JBL Partybox and avoid the Partybox on the go model and you will be happy. Check out Harmon Kardon’s eBay page they own JBl and sell their speakers new and factory refurbished. For that much you could get a Partybox 110 either new or refurbished for a few bucks less. If you don’t want JBL then check out the W-King X20. It’s the loudest non Partybox you can get around that price point. It’s really loud and heavy AF for its size.

Does it have to be water proof? Are you planning on taking it out or keeping it inside the house or both? Do you want huge sound or background music or the ability for both. If it’s large sound JBL partyboxes are king. If you want to keep it portable. I suggest a JBL Boombox. If it’s just for inside the house and you aren’t planning on loud music the Harmon Kardon go + play 3 is great or a JBL authentic 300 or 500.

Something like a jbl 310/320 or sony xv800 should easily be enough and make for a great party, maybe even the smaller ones like jbl 110/120 or sony xv500

Portable with battery, Sony xv900. If you want it a little smaller and easier to roll around, jbl 320. If non-portable, jbl ultimate.

If you're thinking about getting a 310, I'd spend the extra money and get a 320. I upgraded about a month ago and it's well worth it. It sounds more balanced and has slightly deeper bass, the lights are much better (if that matters), has a removable battery and has Auracast for better multi-speaker pairing.

JBL is overpriced and overrated, until you get to the 320 and others of its type.

Depends on how you use it. The 320 is gonna be quiteter at clone range. But if talking about 100m+ you will hear the 320 way more. The 320 has better tweeters then the 710

Look at JBL PartyBox 320. Goes down to 40hz, and sound great. Battery life is good with about 4 hrs on full blast and bass boost. Also has some lightshow. It's like half the price of the Soundboks.

Yeah. Sucks that it only plays mono. But add another and you can get stereo. I have JBL PB encore and 320. While I don't get stereo when connecting them, they can independently produce stereo sound. To each his own, I suppose.

if you want to hear your music, and only your music, and everyone around you now hates you cause they can't hear theirs....Party box 320

Good move this is exactly what you described. Enjoy!

A brief fact-based comparison between the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 and the EarFun UBOOM X. The only advantages of the Blast 2 are a slightly higher maximum volume with acceptable sound, connection options for microphones (with reverb control) and the more elaborate party lighting. The UBOOM X has advantages in all other aspects. It can produce a deeper bass and a better overall sound quality, i.e. a more linear frequency response, better clarity, more authentic separation and reproduction of instruments and vocals. It really does have audiophile qualities. It can be charged more quickly via USB C, a shoulder strap is included, it is noticeably smaller, lighter and significantly cheaper. It can therefore be said that the UBOOM X is the better overall package for most users. It is the speaker for music lovers. The Blast 2, on the other hand, is better suited for smaller (karaoke) parties. For a real party, however, I would prefer a JBL PartyBox 320 or something even bigger.

Well, if that's the case, then I would advise you to get one or two JBL Partybox 310/320s. Although it's not as loud as the Soundboks go, it sounds more balanced overall and has a nicer deep bass and should be loud enough for small to medium-sized parties. The larger JBL Partybox 520 is due to arrive in May. Maybe it's worth waiting for that. 🤷‍♂️ Of course, if you have the option of connecting the speakers to the power supply outside, you have other options. Then you can also look at professional PA systems.

If money is not a problem, and a battery is a plus. Two JBL 320s for portability, and connect them for a listing experience that blows minds. More base, bigger sound stage, more flickering lights. Or if you don’t care about a battery or money two ultimates will definitely blow the 320s away, but two 320s will blow one ultimate away.

I've got 2 JBL Partybox Stage 320 units and I used a Numark Mixstream Pro Go to DJ last Friday. I used RCA stereo to 3.5mm cable to connect from the Numark Mixstream to the IN on the daisy-chain on the 1st JBL speaker then connected another 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to the OUT on the daisy-chain and connected the other 3.5mm end to the IN on the daisy-chain on the 2nd JBL speaker. Provided enough signal to make the speakers loud but not clip. Then I adjusted the volume with the volume knobs on each speaker. No latency.

Singa made a video during Halloween where they featured a JBL: [https://youtube.com/shorts/tHW6meQfqIA](https://youtube.com/shorts/tHW6meQfqIA) They seem to be using the JBL PartyBox with microphones. I have used this myself and you just have to connect the Partybox through Bluetooth to your TV! No need for a mixer. I think Ultimate works in the same way. Then download the karaoke app on your TV or have it through a laptop that you connect with HDMI.

You need a RCA >> 1/4 cord. You won't find a lot of portable speakers with RCA inputs. I'd recommend a JBL Partybox. They are a great value, but they are't on Prime Day sale.

I've used 2 party box speakers as my main left/right and studio speakers as my monitors, with no discernable latency issues between the mains and monitors. NOTE: I had both partyboxes plugged into power, because I noticed that they are quieter and not ass punchy when running off their battery.

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

If you sprung for the Omnis Duo you might as well get a Wave-Eight. It will sound 1000× better than any dinky little Bluetooth speaker like that. Ok, but now that I've fully read your post (lol sorry) I would probably recommend one of the smaller JBL party boxes, assuming they have the daisy chain input/function. Edit: Sadly the Partybox Encore does not appear to have the daisy chain input. Unfortunate.

Some speakers like the JBL Partybox have their own processing going on so there's a slight delay. The nice thing about the Partybox is that in addition to your typical aux input it also has a daisy chain input. The daisy chain input circumvents the JBL processing and allows the mixer to do it instead, but then it's also just on at the highest level and the master on the mixer is what controls the volume. So yeah, your speaker is probably doing some kind of processing that affects the latency of what actually comes out.

The JBL partybox series have zero delay - if you plug into the daisy chain port

I have em. Sound is ok at best. Fine for some background music while working on something the garage/driveway, but almost no bass, and not loud enough for any sort of gathering. For a fraction of the cost, a decent Bluetooth speaker would be MUCH better, and more useful for life in general.

I just don’t see the value in the tailgate speakers. They’re ok at best in my opinion. Not very loud, not much bass, rarely useful, and WAY overpriced at $800. The sub sounds excellent and I use it daily, so I’m very pleased with that purchase. But if I had it to do over again, I’d get something like a portable JBL party box over the tailgate speakers, which is half the price, 5x the sound power and clarity, and portable making it useful in many other situations beyond when I’m within listening distance of my tailgate.

As another commenter mentioned, about the only positive is the wow factor when showing off your truck. But any time spent using these will likely lead you to disappointment. I seriously can’t recommend the sub enough though. It’s not overpowering like a sound system from my teenage days, but compliments the existing stereo perfectly with just the right amount of bass, while the custom designed enclosure fits the truck perfectly and still creates a bit of storage space. Get the sub and a party box Bluetooth instead of the multipro and you’ll be pleased all the way around.

I’d go for a partybox 310 or 320, or two would be even better. If you want to save a bit more, go for one or two stormbox blast speakers.

Soundboks works great. I'm in a traveling baseball team, and every team has speakers. Most of the speakers don't impress me. JBL PartyBox is a good option entry level with good sound quality and budget friendly. Different size options and different budget options as well. Soundboks seems to be the best option out there, but pricing seems a bit steep. You get the loudest DB in battery-powered speakers I can find with the loudest highs and bass. The sound quality is excellent. Bose S1 Pro I'm highly impressed with it. The output and size from such a small package it's really sounds impressive all around, definitely a winner in sound quality. Other than the 3 mentioned, either I haven't discovered another good portable battery-powered speaker option, or they're not impressive enough for me to research and look them up. So, for now, these 3 are my personal recommendations. If anyone has some additional input or recommendations, I'd love to see them. It is always good to know other options in the future.

Nothing else with a battery has as deep of bass as a Partybox 320/310. Bose isn't even close. You can see all [speakers ranked here](https://www.reddit.com/r/WirelessSpeakers/comments/16zs2ol/ranking_all_battery_powered_wireless_speakers/)

Here's the problem. The Partybox will sound better and have deeper bass, but the Soundboks will get about 2-3x louder. A lot of this depends how much area you need to cover. Also the Partybox might be a stretch at 10 hours as it will probably be running closer to full blast, although a power bank could help it last longer. I generally say if it's under 50 people then the Partybox is fine, otherwise go for the Soundboks or another option from here https://www.speakerranking.com/portable-party-speakers/ Check out the ranking of nearly every single Bluetooth speaker and the best EQ tuning for each of them [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/WirelessSpeakers/comments/16zs2ol/ranking_all_battery_powered_wireless_speakers/)

For the deepest bass of any battery powered speaker the Partybox 320/310 is by far the best. Only downside is it's only IPX4. For something with full waterproofing you probably want something like 2 Tribit Stormbox Blast which are IPX7 See nearly every single speaker ranked [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/WirelessSpeakers/comments/16zs2ol/ranking_all_battery_powered_wireless_speakers/)

There are a few ways you can go, really depends on budget and how deep you want to go and what your space is like. The gym I go to just has one of those Bluetooth party speakers which works fine, it's a smaller space and fills it okay. If I was setting up my own space and I'd do something more substantial but I'm a bit of an audio nerd. You can get some stereo amplifiers and in ceiling speakers would be the ideal setup. The size of your space is going to dictate how many speakers you need but you could consult with a local audio installer or post some more specifics for better advice. It ultimately comes down to your space and your budget, or just keep it simple and use a Bluetooth speaker like the JBL partybox.

For practicing at home: even small 3" bookshelfs suffice like a Presonus Eris 3.5. The point is there must be relevant bass as low as about 80hz. For parties: get a good partybox which does have a non DSP input (so it does not cause delay) and has a line level output for the Presonuses you bring for monitoring :) (as you cannot connect monitors to the FLX4)

If you input through the daisy chain there's no delay. I run two of these for my mobile setup. Hardest part is splitting the audio to mono aux left and right, otherwise stereo will play out of both. I use RCA into a RCA to Aux converter.

I just use regular RCA cables as long as I need, which keeps it simple and cheap and then have two adapters at the partybox into port. I don't know where I got mine, but linked is the same thing. I haven't run a party with this setup yet, but I've tested it at home. I think the only thing I've noticed is that the output is quieter per speaker. I can't tell if this is because the mono signal only fires out of one side of the speaker or if splitting the left and right makes it inherently quieter. Still loud enough to use.

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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have a JBL Partybox and waking up the speaker from standby slumber (speaker is permanently plugged in) works with the app. 👍🏻

I agree. For the price and quality of frequency range. Other option would be a Yamaha HS3’s with a sub.

I use a JBL partybox. Has aux input, has a battery for portability (goes well with a portable FLX4) and has really good bass and is loud enough.

JBL Partybox! Easy to cary with the handle, super powerful, excellent audio quality, good battery and can run on ac outlet, can be paired with other partybox and well build.

wpuld say either harbinger vari or JBL partybox, JBL is gonna have a more complete sound out of the box but you'll be able to upgrade down the line with the harbinger to have a subwoofer, and maybe a second PA. even so, outdoor parties with 300 guests means that you're not gonna fill the whole space at your budget, but maybe that's not what you really needed. if you're planning on going bigger/more professional, get that 2000W PA and start saving. If not, the partybox will be just fine.

got to connect to one of these for a bday party over the weekend. the thing could be heard across an acre of open field! might be buying one myself

My simple home karaoke setup works for me and will probably work for you, too. Been doing home karaoke parties for YEARS and people LOVE our setup. Simple and clean. Laptop, JBL PartyBox portable speaker, wireless mics The laptop runs karafun and plays the music through the surround sound. Wireless mics plug into portable speaker for vocals, so they can be adjusted as desired.

That's what we do. Works great. All volums can then be adjusted as desired. And when we do karaoke out in the woods, everything just goes through the JBL PartBox. That thing sounds AMAZING.
