The JBL PartyBox 110 is a portable speaker that brings the party anywhere you want to take it. It’s loud enough to power a backyard bash on its own and has a built-in light show to pump up the ambiance. You don’t even have to worry about running out of juice because it can play for up to 12 hours on a single charge. You won’t get rained out either because the PartyBox has an IPX4 rating that lets it shrug off rain or pool splashes. You can even use it for karaoke thanks to the microphone jack or hook it up to an instrument through the quarter-inch port.
You can get the JBL PartyBox 110 for $270, down from $350. That’s $80 or around 23% off.
A powerful portable speaker that can truly bring the party
The light show is what sets this apart from a normal Bluetooth speaker. A ring-and-strobe array on the front pulses in time with the music by default, and the JBL PartyBox app lets you change the pattern, color, and intensity, or switch the lights off entirely for quieter settings. It is built into the speaker rather than added on, so there is nothing extra to set up once the speaker is on.
At 160 watts, sound output is loud enough to fill a backyard or a two-car garage without distorting at high volume. The driver layout pairs a woofer with separate tweeters, keeping vocals clear over heavy bass rather than muddying together, as single-driver portable speakers tend to at party volume. A bass boost control on the speaker and in the app adds low-end weight when the music calls for it.
Two PartyBox speakers can link wirelessly for true stereo, splitting left and right channels across the pair to cover a larger space. The pairing runs through the app, and both speakers stay synced with no noticeable delay.
The microphone and instrument inputs turn the speaker into a basic PA. Plug in a wired mic for karaoke or speeches at an event, or run an electric guitar straight into it for casual practice and small jams. The speaker handles the mix between the input and the Bluetooth music.
Battery life reaches 12 hours at moderate volume, but drops to 8 hours with the lights running bright and the volume high. It charges over a standard power cable, and the battery is internal rather than removable, so a long event eventually needs an outlet nearby.
At $270 on Amazon, down from $350, the PartyBox 110 brings a light-equipped party speaker with PA inputs and stereo pairing under $280. It fits the role of a single speaker that handles music, lights, and a microphone for an event, rather than a quiet personal speaker for everyday listening.
