Our Verdict
Bose S1 Pro System
JBL PartyBox 310
The JBL PartyBox 310 is a better speaker for music than the Bose S1 Pro System. The JBL can reproduce more low bass, play stereo content, and get louder. It also has longer-lasting battery life and is rated IPX4 for water resistance, meaning it can withstand small water splashes. However, the Bose is more portable.
