Short answer: the JBL Partybox 130 for deeper bass. The Samsung MX-ST50B sounds reasonably balanced but its bass is not as deep as a Partybox 110 or other higher ranked speakers. The 130 is convenient to move on its handle and wheels, though it is boomier and less clear than the Partybox 120 and priced high.
Buy the JBL Partybox 130. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Samsung MX-ST50B is no longer sold new.
