Our Verdict

JBL PartyBox 310

JBL PartyBox Stage 320

There's not much to differentiate between the JBL PartyBox Stage 320 and the JBL PartyBox 310. Both are large, bulky speakers that rely on their wheels and carry handle for portability. They're also both equipped with RGB light shows, mic and guitar inputs and stereo playback capabilities. The main difference is in bass and dynamics performance. The PartyBox 310 produces more punch by default, and also compresses a bit less at high volumes. There are some slight differences when it comes to frequency response, too. The Stage 320 features a more balanced response overall, compared to the 310's warmer, boomier sound, which some may like but others may find dull.
