Our Verdict

JBL PartyBox 310

JBL PartyBox 710

Depending on your preferences, you may prefer either the JBL PartyBox 710 or the JBL PartyBox 310. The 710 is a larger speaker that can produce a more extended low bass than the 310. It has better directivity, resulting in a wider-sounding soundstage. The 310 is battery-powered and comes with a 12 DC In port to charge it from your car's lighter port. It's smaller, lighter, and has a telescopic handle and wheels built-in, making it more portable. Also, it has less compression present at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio during louder listening sessions.
