Nice comparison, love my pair of 110’s

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👍

Very solid upgrade. Night and day difference for rock music.

Banger!!!!

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.

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

3 ай бұрын

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.

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

Ай бұрын

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.

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.

Thank you for the video great review

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.

It's hard to tell from a KZread 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.

I think the bass has been slightly improved in the 120.

The 110 was weaker and boomy versus the balanced clean sound of the 100 at the time of the former’s release. Has it improved since? Because if not, and with the 120 ever slightly also weaker and brighter versus 110, then i wouldn’t upgrade from mu current 100. 100> 110>120… also worth noting that the tweeter positioning in 120 is the same as in 100, JBL surely realized the better performance of the original 100… the 100 also has rubber feet on both sides so you can lay it on either sides… the improvements are aesthetics well and good but I go for the sound quality, so, no…
