Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The JBL Partybox 110 ranks #9 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $379.95; the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus ranks #39 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $169.99.
The case for the JBL Partybox 110: A party speaker with very neutral sound and solid bass, a great pick for backyard parties. The catch: Bass isn’t as deep as the JBL Partybox 100.
The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus is the longer-running, lighter choice. A fairly light stereo boombox, easy to carry to the beach or park. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Partybox 110. At 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg) it weighs much less than the JBL Partybox 110 at 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the JBL Partybox 110. Watch for: Warm tuning meaning a rolled off treble and some upper bass boost.
Buy the JBL Partybox 110 ($379.95) for a party speaker; the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus ($169.99) suits a boombox speaker instead.
