JBL Partybox 110 vs Samsung MX-ST50B

Last updated: August 8, 2026

Short answer: the Partybox 110, and our own notes on the Samsung say so directly. Both cost $300. The Partybox 110 ranks #7 of 45 party speakers; the MX-ST50B ranks #19, and its cons entry states plainly that its bass isn’t as deep as the Partybox 110’s.

The Samsung needs mains power to really open up. Our notes flag that it needs to be plugged in to reach higher volume, where the 110 runs on battery at full output for up to 12 hours.

It isn’t a bad speaker, just an underdocumented one. Our own pros note there isn’t much independent testing to compare against yet, describing it as reasonably balanced but hard to judge confidently from the available sound samples.

Buy the Partybox 110 for the deeper, better-documented sound. Buy the MX-ST50B only if you specifically prefer Samsung’s ecosystem or design and plan to run it plugged in.

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.
