JBL PartyBox Club 120 vs Sony SRS-XV500

The Sony SRS-XV500 and the JBL PartyBox Club 120 are both similarly sized party speakers. The JBL has a more bass-heavy sound and 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, although you may prefer the Sony's more balanced sound profile. The Sony model also offers longer continuous battery life, though it lacks the JBL speaker's swappable battery. It also has significantly fewer audiovisual synchronization errors on Android and iOS devices, so it's better suited for users who watch movies and videos.
