JBL Partybox Club 120 vs 110 🥳 A Family Feud! Battery Powered🔋Bluetooth Party Speakers Face-Off🤬

[@trufnk]

Nice comparison, love my pair of 110’s

[@31filmz68]

I think the difference is the placement of the tweeters. In the 120 they moved them above to give the speaker a more natural sound, with the 110 the tweeters seem to loose some hi end due to being in between the woofers!

[@tomindia9420]

it makes no difference, trust me, the problem is off axis sound, if the tweeters are speaker cones instead of dome shape, they have less sound of axis on high frequencies, sounding less detailed.

[@YTisGay]

​@@tomindia9420 I do believe you're talking outta your 6ss rn. Speaker placement is everything. Do you know how sound waves work?

[@Zam1Fear]

The 110 has nice tweeter lights, but one thing I never liked about Partyboxes is that the lights on the 110, 310 (or under) and 710 do not have "Freeze" mode like on the 120, 320, and ultimate. Freeze is always on and stays put for those who dont want the constant rave effect. Sometimes a nice stable glow is all people want. BUT, a swappable battery on the 120, is HUGE. The PB 110 or 310 or anything under is essentially a boat anchor if or when the battery goes or must reamin thethered to a wall. At 65.00 +- for an additional battery, it's a no-brainer and something JBL should have done from the getgo on these "portable" speakers.

[@lzchenkual2169]

For clarity, I undoubtedly prefer 110 (assuming the bass settings are in the same level... ! From my experience... I did not find much difference regarding bass as we hear in this review.. I might be mistaken though). Today, I compare the two in a shop... except for battery purpose... I prefer 110 over 120 ... But it's evidently clear that everyone's choice and taste is not the same

[@relinquishv]

I have 110 and the lights and tweeters symmetry are definitely better on 110. Sound wise I guess 120 is better but I won't upgrade for sure for like a little upgrade. The battery thing is cool tho.

[@vasilismemmos5864]

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

It's out now.

[@lukas06transport]

The New 120 ist an awesome speaker but i think i will stay with my 110 because of the Position of the tweeters and the fact that you can lay IT down. I also Miss the lightshow around the tweeters there are Iconic

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

I think that is my issue also. I don't like that they abandoned the horizontal option and took away the tweeter lights.

[@massivNikki]

@@JaysStraightUpReviews u can still lay it on its side, but u have to consider that it can get scratched. I asked the support and they said that there are no technical issues with laying it on its side.

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

@@massivNikki of course you can lay it on it's side, they just don't intend for it to be used that way since they eliminated the rubber side feet. It won't really lay totally stable on it's side either without the feet. The 120 with the tweeters on top will also have all the treble coming from one side with it horizontal.

[@laszlotrefan]

I saw the 310 on a party, with one rubber side feet missing. I assume JBL wanted to have one issue less and gave up on them... :)

[@SPLSPECTRUM]

I think the 120 has a less metallic mid than 110 and it has brighter highs too. The bass hits stronger on higher volumes, it has a more equal overall sound.Very good test as always!

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

Yeah, I kind of noticed this after playing these two againt each other with several different "regular music" genres. I think JBL did tweak the mids a little.

[@Outrageous_GamersLOL]

I just got my PartyBox 110 in February 2024 right before the PartyBox 120 came along and I’ll think I will stay with my 110 and wait for the 130 but anyways nice review good job on doing the bass comparison too👍

Does the 120 club have noticeably more bass than, for an example, the boombox 3. I might get the new Stage if its worth it since i want more bass than the boombox!

[@Usenowgamer]

Do you mean Partybox Club 120? Only the Partybox Stage 320 uses the name "Stage". The BoomBox 3 and Partybox Club 120 are very different sort of speakers so it depends on what you want it for. Boombox 3 is better for cleaner more "HIFI" sound I guess and Partybox is better for parties because of its louder and more bassy sound + Lights.

bear in mind these speakers have equalizer in app. All the JBL changed in 120 is default equalizer settings. Thats it. They are the same.

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

The 110 has a limited 3 band EQ that you can adjust. It is flat out of the box. The 120 has a 5 band EQ, that you can opt to use. However, the 120 also has pre-set EQ's and uses one as default. So no, the 110 doesn't have any pre-set EQ. As you can hear I did set them both to flat and they didn't sound the same and are not the same.

[@RivieraByBuick]

@@JaysStraightUpReviews 5 stage eq? wow, thats new. I meant that they hardware is mostly the same i suppose, but the preset default eq is different - thats the main reason they sound different. I am pretty sure u can make them sound the same messing with the eq - that what i meant.

It's hard to tell from a KZbin video and through a recording, but based on what i've seen from the only two videos on YT comparing the 110 to the 120, the 120 has a VERY noticeable sound quality improvement over the 110, it sounds fuller/better rounded/more detailed across the whole frequency range. Of course while "sound quality" may be a matter of preference the 120 sounded more open and defined to me, which was a slight issue for me that kept me away from the 110. Thank you for bringing this comparison to us Jay, and oh BTW the Partybox 120 and 320 are due to be released in the US on April the 6th according to a JBL Rep, i got in touch to inquire about release dated and that's what they provided me with.

@@Satorikn yeah, I see it generally listed as coming out in April without a specific date. Amazon had the 120 and 320 available for pre-order for a while a few weeks back and they had I think April 20th or 22nd as the ship date. It's no longer available on Amazon for pre-order now, however.

[@kacpermichalec9721]

The funny thing is. My JBL sounds more open when listening though my phone with AAC. My PC Bluetooth of course didn't have this technology and it's noticeable but it's nothing crushing difference. So it depends on PC/PHONE too. I'm not picky so mostly I'm listening through my PC.

110 is more better bass

[@Panslapper]

I actually just returned my 110. I thought it sounded terrible with the iphone and Samsung tablet. It sounded decent when connected to the PC using an Avantree DG80 Bluetooth transmitter but that is a very good bit of kit and known for giving a very clean sound, which it did when using the 110. Using the phone sounded very muddy by comparison with recessed vocals, just awful. Strange, because my JBL Charge 5 sounds excellent when connected top the iphone and tablet. The 120 seems to be step up in sound quality, better mids, vocals and clearer bass.

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

Did you adjust the sound in the Partybox app EQ? Or a 3rd party EQ? Something doesn't add up with this scenario. 🤔
