JBL Partybox 710 vs. JBL Partybox 1000

JBL has taken over the lead in the quickly expanding “party box” style of large portable (or semi-portable) PA style speakers with their Partybox range, which currently consists of the Encore Essential, Partybox On The Go, and the 110, 310, 710 & 1000 models.

Although all pretty cool in their own rights – the big dogs of the bunch are the 710 and the 1000, and if you are serious about sound, then one of these two models is the right one for you.

Neither the 710 nor the 1000 have batteries, so neither can be considered true “portable” speakers however both have wheels and handles, and can be fairly easily moved from one place to the next.

You’re just not jamming out on the beach per se, without a generator.

For that, you’ll want the models with batteries so check out the Partybox 110 or Partybox 310.

But back to the question at hand: if you are looking for the biggest and baddest speakers on the market and you have narrowed to down to the Partybox 710 or the Partybox 1000 which one do you get?

We’ve spent a lot of time with both and we have a clear winner, but if your needs are different then ours, then read on and decide for yourself.
