These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The JBL Partybox 110 ranks #7 of 50 party speakers by sound quality at $299.95; the onn Portable FM Boombox ranks #23 of 77 large speakers by sound quality at $74.83.
The case for the JBL Partybox 110: very neutral sound, a slight step up from the Partybox 100 - a real party speaker rather than a boombox-style portable. The catch: bass isn’t quite as deep as the Partybox 100, and JBL’s daisychain feature won’t talk to non-JBL speakers.
What the onn Portable FM Boombox gets right: extremely good value, IPX7 waterproof (it floats), FM radio with 10 presets, 6 multicolor LED effects, and it runs on battery or corded power. Set against that: a reasonable but not class-leading frequency response, no custom EQ, and it’s built for a different, more casual use case than a dedicated party speaker.
Buy the JBL Partybox 110 at $299.95 if you want a party speaker. Buy the onn Portable FM Boombox at $74.83 if you want a large speaker instead.
If water resistance matters to you, the onn Portable FM Boombox at IPX7 (brief submersion) holds up far better than the JBL Partybox 110 at IPX4 (splashing).

The Two Speakers In Full
JBL Partybox 110: $299.95 Amazon
Pros: Very neutral sound, slightly better than the Partybox 100.
Cons: Bass isn’t as deep as the Partybox 100. Just as loud and slightly deeper than a Stormbox Blast which is way smaller with better sound. Increase treble one step in the app to make it more neutral. Note, JBL daisychain is not compatible with any other non-JBL speaker and is possibly a fully digital signal.

onn Portable FM Boombox: $74.83 Walmart
Pros: Extremely good value. Reasonably deep bass, though not as deep as something like the JBL Xtreme 3, Soundcore Boom 2, or Tribit Stormbox Lava. IPX7 waterproof and floats. FM radio with 10 presets. 6 multicolor LED lighting effects. Can run on battery or corded power.
Cons: Reasonable frequency response, but not quite as smooth as some of the top-ranked speakers in this size. No custom EQ.
