I wanted a Bluetooth speaker to keep plugged in in my home office to listen to music while I worked. I got a cheap no name brand on Amaz*n, tested it out for maybe 15 minutes when I got it then when I went to use it while I worked a few days later, it wouldn't turn on. So I decided to get a reputable brand and wanted the JBL party box encore but it wasn't available at a store locally and I'm impatient. I got the 110 instead. It is WAY bigger than I anticipated lol. That's my bad for not looking at the size specs. I set it up and turned it on, easy to pair with my phone. Quickly realized this was way overkill for my little bedroom home office.

I had to download the app just to get the equalizer so I could turn the bass all the way down (that's even with bass boost off). The speaker is amazing. Sounds so good, very loud, clear... I absolutely love it! I wish I had another use for it but we're a house full of speaker junkies, husband has big studio monitors for DJing, etc so I can't think of another room to use this in that doesn't already have a sound system. I was done working at 4 but didn't want to leave my office and stop listening to music on my new speaker hah. I ordered the encore and will be returning this big boy in a week once I get the encore, even though I'm sad about it. If you need a loud, amazing sounding bluetooth speaker, this one is for you! Especially if it's for a bigger space.

Recently purchased a pair of JBL Partybox 110’s and they are simply fabulous. Read a lot of reviews, listened to many different brands but these ticked all the boxes and certainly impress. For me it’s not so much about volume but quality of sound and the frequency range is perfect. Nice weight to them so don’t rattle at higher volumes (unlike the Samsung) and have a warmer tone than the Sony. Sound is very personal and these are superb and commented on by everyone that has listened to them. Only negative are the preset DJ sounds which are a bit gimmicky however would be nice if you could download new ones on the Partybox App. Would be nice if JBL made fitted waterproof covers for them.

I have a collection of speakers and it takes a lot for me to say that this Partybox 100 is a new favorite of the bunch. Its unique light show display combined with its impressive sound strength sets it above and beyond in my book - especially for its mid-tier size. If you're looking for a reliable speaker to host your parties without breaking the bank, this one should be a serious contender - here’s why: Sound There’s no denying the strength of this speaker and its ability to perform. The sound is balanced and provides a deep bass that can be easily increased with a few presses of a button. I was impressed to feel my room vibrating to the bass of this speaker with it turned all the way up. The sound is a solid 5 considering its size and price.

The sound is balanced and provides a deep bass that can be easily increased with a few presses of a button. I was impressed to feel my room vibrating to the bass of this speaker with it turned all the way up. The sound is a solid 5 considering its size and price. Light Show The light show on this unit is simply awesome. The lights emulate the sound well and it’s a bonus that you can choose from four different light show types. I’ve enjoyed cycling through the different displays and seeing how each one matches the treble and bass of a song. The only aspect I wish I could change is the ability to turn off the strobe lights. Although they add a certain coolness factor, I just wish I had some control over the two strobe lights at the top and bottom of the speaker. Mobility At almost 2 feet tall, I was expecting this thing to not only be heavy but also be pretty awkward. It's surprisingly light and with well-placed handles I can easily move it around with little trouble. Smaller people may have some trouble with it (I’m 6’1), but overall it’s a great speaker to throw in the trunk on your way to a party. Bluetooth The range of this speaker is solid - I walked all around my house with my phone without any trouble. It took walking outside and down my driveway to eventually start losing connection. This is important especially regarding its intent as a party speaker - if I bring this to a party I don’t want to be anchored next to it the whole night. Based on my testing, I won’t be. PartyBox 100’s can only connect with other PartyBox 100’s if you want dual speakers (or more). That’s a problem if you decide to get the next speaker up like the PartyBox 200 or maybe even the 300. But if you stay in the 100’s and you have a modern smartphone capable of connecting to several devices, you should be good for hooking up to multiple speakers via Bluetooth. Interface/Accessibility Sometimes interface simplicity can be a drawback, but in this case it’s great. When I get to a party, I want to be able to turn on the speaker, connect, and play. No tuning or small adjustments, just good sound now. That’s exactly what this speaker does. I turn it on, connect, press the bass button twice and everything’s good to go. If you need to connect via AUX or USB, you just flip open the back and there’s an input for each. It was a bonus to see you can also hook up a microphone for karaoke nights or an electric guitar for the musicians out there. These components give it more range of use and add some extra value. Battery I’ve played this speaker for 3 hours at full blast with the bass booster on full and it still has half its battery left. That is awesome. If I kept it on half volume I am confident it could last 10-12 hours which is more than I’d need for just about any party. After 3 hours of playtime at full capacity, I didn’t see any difference in sound or quality from this speaker. Its sound strength has remained consistent and continues to stay consistent as I use it. Overall I genuinely enjoy this speaker whether I’m at a party or just partying on my own. It’s the speaker’s ability to cover the basics (sound, battery life, Bluetooth range) and provide extra features like its mobility, simplicity, and of course, the light show, that makes it a go-to speaker for me. It really is super cool and I look forward to using it for years to come.
