Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The JBL Partybox 330 ranks #1 of 50 party speakers by sound quality at $629.95; the JBL Partybox 710 ranks #5 of 11 large party speakers by sound quality at $800.
What the JBL Partybox 330 gets right: Handle and wheels are convenient. The tradeoff: Sound quality is nearly identical to the 310 and Stage 320 despite the power bump, so probably not worth an upgrade if you already own either of those.
What the JBL Partybox 710 offers: Handle and wheels are convenient. Lightshow ability. Set against that: Very large and heavy. No battery.
Buy the JBL Partybox 330 at $629.95 if you want a party speaker. Buy the JBL Partybox 710 at $800 if you want a large party speaker instead.

The Two Speakers In Full
JBL Partybox 330: $629.95 Amazon Bhphotovideo
Pros: Handle and wheels are convenient. Customizable lightshow. Removable battery. Slightly more power than the 310 and Stage 320 (280W vs 240W). Adds an optical TV input and USB-C lossless playback, plus dual mic and guitar inputs for karaoke and live sets.
Cons: Sound quality is nearly identical to the 310 and Stage 320 despite the power bump, so probably not worth an upgrade if you already own either of those. Removed the dedicated mic gain and microphone control knobs found on the 310/320. Some people don’t like the new lightshow design. Very large. Note, JBL daisychain is not compatible with any other non-JBL speaker and is possibly a fully digital signal.
