JBL PartyBox Club 120 vs Sony SRS-XV500

The Sony SRS-XV500 and the JBL PartyBox Club 120 are both similarly sized party speakers. That said, the JBL is better in quite a few areas. It has a more balanced sound profile, with better low-frequency extension, and it has better directivity. While both speakers can get equally as loud, there's less compression at max volume with the JBL. As a result, the JBL is a better fit for getting a dance floor going at your next party. However, the Sony model does have some strengths that you might find appealing. It has a longer continuous battery life, although it lacks the JBL's swappable battery. It also has significantly lower Audiovisual synchronization errors with Android and iOS devices, so it's better suited for users who will use it to watch movies and videos.
