Short answer: the 310 for bass, the Club 120 for what’s actually in stock. These rank #4 and #6 out of 53 party speakers, separated by 2 spot and $180. The JBL Partybox 310 is discontinued; its replacement is the JBL Partybox 330. If you are buying new, get the JBL Partybox 330.
The 310 hits harder. It measures 32Hz bass extension and runs 240W through two 6.5” woofers and two 2.5” tweeters, and our notes call it the absolute deepest bass of any battery powered speaker with the most balanced sound in its class. The Club 120 uses smaller 5.25” woofers and 2.25” tweeters at 160W, and while its own notes describe quite neutral sound with deeper bass than the smaller Partybox 100 and 110, it isn’t competing at the same bass depth as the 310.
The Club 120 wins on convenience. It has a removable battery, which the 310 lacks, plus Auracast party mode support and a 5-band EQ versus the 310’s 3-band EQ. It’s also noticeably lighter at 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg) against the 310’s 37.5 lbs (17 kg). The tradeoff is battery life: 12 hours on the Club 120 versus 18 hours on the 310.
Everything else matches: both have a handle and wheels, both support customizable color lighting modes, both take 3.5 hours to charge, both are IPX4 rated, and both include karaoke-mode microphone and guitar inputs.
Buy the 310 if you can find one and want the deepest bass and longest battery life in the pair, and don’t mind that it’s out of production.
Buy the Club 120 if you want a current-production speaker with a removable battery, Auracast, and a lighter build to carry around.
