JBL Partybox 310 vs Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker

Q: Should I buy the JBL Partybox 310 or the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker?

Buy the JBL Partybox 310 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker if the price matters more than sound quality.

Short answer: the JBL Partybox 310 for better sound quality, the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker for the lower price. The JBL Partybox 310 ranks #3 of 50 party speakers at $499.95. The Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker ranks #14 at $249, $250.95 cheaper.

In the JBL Partybox 310’s favor: it has the absolute deepest bass of any battery powered speaker, the most balanced sound in its class, a convenient handle and wheels, customizable color lighting, and performance very close to the 320. Working against it: it’s very large, and JBL’s daisychain feature isn’t compatible with non-JBL speakers.

The pitch for the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker: it’s an exceptional value in a party speaker, includes 2 wireless microphones, has wheels and a built-in handle for easy transport, 5 multicolor LED lighting effects, and a control display on the unit. On the downside: it’s a little bright up top and not quite as well balanced as the JBL Partybox 330.
