Our Verdict

Bose SoundLink Micro

JBL PartyBox 100

The JBL PartyBox 100 is a better speaker than the Bose SoundLink Micro. The JBL has a better-balanced sound profile capable of reproducing more bass. It also has a stereo soundstage, it can get much louder with fewer compression artifacts, and it has longer-lasting battery life. However, the Bose is more portable and better-built, especially as it has an IP67 rating for water resistance. You can also connect your smartphone's voice assistant to the speaker.
