Short answer: the JBL Partybox 110. It ranks #9 of 54 party speakers by sound quality, rated 4.4/5, at $379.95; the Marshall Bromley 450 ranks #26, rated 3.7/5, and costs $569.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The JBL Partybox 110 is the better-sounding option. A party speaker with very neutral sound and solid bass, a great pick for backyard parties. The tradeoff: Bass isn’t as deep as the JBL Partybox 100.
The Marshall Bromley 450 is the longer-running pick. A rugged, weather resistant party speaker with drivers on every side, a swappable battery, and mic and guitar inputs. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Partybox 110. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the JBL Partybox 110 lacks. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the JBL Partybox 110 cannot. The tradeoff: It is the quietest of its rivals: both the Soundboks Mix and Teufel Rockster Air 2 play louder, and near max volume the bass recedes and the sound gets less composed.
Buy the JBL Partybox 110. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Marshall Bromley 450 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
