Our Verdict
JBL PartyBox 1000
Bose S1 Pro System
The JBL PartyBox 1000 is better than the Bose S1 Pro System for most uses. For starters, The JBL gets louder and reproduces a more extended low-bass. Plus, its customizable RGB lights and DJ pad may be a draw for some users. That said, it's wired-only, which limits its portability compared to the Bose. Plus, the Bose has many extra features for connected instruments, which some users may prefer.
