Our Verdict
JBL PartyBox 300
JBL PartyBox 310
The JBL PartyBox 310 is a better speaker for music than the JBL PartyBox 300. The 310 has an IPX4 rating for water resistance that certifies it to withstand small splashes of water, and it has more sound enhancement features for mic audio. Its sound profile is better balanced and boomy, too, and it's compatible with the JBL PartyBox app, which is nice if you like to customize features like its RGB lighting. It also has wheels to make it easier to move around. However, the 300 has fewer compression artifacts at max volume.
