Our Verdict
Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM
JBL PartyBox 110
The Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM is a better speaker than the JBL PartyBox 110, though they have different strengths. The Ultimate Ears can get as loud as the JBL, though it has significantly less compression present at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio at louder volumes. It's also smaller and lighter, making it easier to carry with you when you're on the go. That said, the JBL can produce a more extended low-bass out-of-the-box and comes with many party features like customizable RGB lights, mic and guitar input, and DJ effects.
