Our Verdict

JBL PartyBox 110

Anker Soundcore Rave Neo 2

The JBL PartyBox 110 and the Anker Soundcore Rave 2 Neo are both party-oriented speakers with built-in RGB light shows. When it comes to bringing the party, it's tough to beat the JBL, though this does come with a more premium price tag. The two speakers are similar when it comes to build quality and battery life (both clock in at around 14 hours), but the similarities mostly end here. The JBL is quite a bit heavier and less portable but packs more of a low-end punch. It's also got a bit more emphasis in the high-end, whereas the Anker is recessed in this range, resulting in more present vocals and lead instruments. While the JBL has better directivity, surprisingly, there's not too much of a difference between the two speakers' max volumes. The JBL compresses quite a bit less at max volume, though. If you need the extra bass and want purer audio at a higher volume, the JBL is worth the additional outlay.
