Our Verdict
Bose SoundLink Revolve
JBL PartyBox 100
The JBL PartyBox 100 is a better speaker than the Bose SoundLink Revolve. The JBL has a more neutral sound profile with a more extended low-bass and a better soundstage. It also gets louder. However, the JBL is better-built and its smaller design makes it more portable. Also, it supports voice assistants, unlike the JBL.
