Our Verdict

JBL PartyBox 100

JBL PartyBox 710

The JBL PartyBox 710 and the JBL PartyBox 100 have different strengths. The 710 can produce a much more extended low-bass, meaning you can feel the thump and rumble in bass-heavy music like EDM or hip-hop. It's also compatible with the JBL PartyBox app, which you can use to access extra party features of the speaker. However, the 100 is much smaller and is battery-powered, making it more portable. It also has less compression present at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio at louder volume levels.
