Our Verdict

JBL PartyBox 110

Klipsch GIG XXL

The JBL PartyBox 110 is a better speaker than the Klipsch GIG XXL. The JBL is a more premium speaker with a better build quality and an IP rating for water resistance. Its battery life is longer-lasting, and it can reproduce more low bass. Plus, it has a companion app with a graphic EQ, unlike the Klipsch.
