Short answer: the JBL Partybox 110. It ranks #9 of 51 party speakers by sound quality (rated 4.4/5) at $194.97 and is still sold new; the Sharp PS-929 ranks #42 (rated 2.5/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Sharp PS-929’s replacement, the Sharp XParty Sing PS-931, is rated 2.5/5 at $160.
The JBL Partybox 110 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A party speaker with very neutral sound and solid bass, a great pick for backyard parties. Its bass reaches about 41Hz before falling 10dB, against 60Hz for the Sharp PS-929. It is rated IPX4, while the Sharp PS-929 has no water resistance. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sharp PS-929 lacks. The tradeoff: Bass isn’t as deep as the JBL Partybox 100.
The Sharp PS-929 is the lighter pick. A battery party speaker with two woofers, a Super Bass button, lights, mic and guitar inputs, and a wired mic included. At 19 lbs (8.6 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the JBL Partybox 110 at 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg). The tradeoff: Bass extension is only about 60Hz at -10dB, so it lacks deep bass.
Buy the JBL Partybox 110. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Sharp PS-929 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
