Our Verdict
JBL PartyBox 110
JBL Boombox 3
While the JBL Boombox 3 is on the larger side for a portable speaker, the JBL PartyBox 110, as its name suggests, is better suited for parties. It's a fair bit heavier and bulkier than the Boombox 3, so you won't be hauling it around on weekend trips. The Boombox 3 is also better built and has a much longer battery life, reinforcing its superiority as a portable option. They reach similar max volumes, but their tuning differs. The Boombox 3 has a flat, slightly bright tuning, while the PartyBox 110 leans warm and bassy. If you're looking to host a party or event, the PartyBox 110 has inputs for a mic or guitar.

Hey!
“We performed our sound tests with the JBL PartyBox 110’s ‘Bass Boost’ feature set to ‘1’.”
Do you have a review without Bass Boost? I wanted to see the frequency response without it. Furthermore, it decreases dynamics, and probably increases distortion.
