These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The JBL Partybox 110 ranks #9 of 50 party speakers by sound quality at $299.99; the JBL Partybox Encore 2 ranks #4 of 105 boombox speakers by sound quality at $330.
Why pick the JBL Partybox 110: Very neutral sound, slightly better than the JBL Partybox 100. The catch: Bass isn’t as deep as the JBL Partybox 100.
The JBL Partybox Encore 2 is the lighter option. The Encore 2 improves the original with dome tweeters, a less boomy balance, slightly deeper bass, longer battery life and two included wireless microphones. At 14.1 lbs (6.4 kg) it weighs much less than the JBL Partybox 110 at 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg). It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the JBL Partybox 110 cannot. Watch for: It still lacks some upper-bass punch and cannot match the scale of the larger PartyBoxes.
Buy the JBL Partybox 110 ($299.99) for a party speaker; the JBL Partybox Encore 2 ($330) suits a boombox speaker instead.
