Short answer: the PartyBox 330 is the better pick for sound and party-speaker usability, while the LG XL7 mainly competes on its rolling form factor. Both have wheels and a handle, but JBL’s tuning and ranking are stronger. LG’s recessed treble, boosted upper bass and shallower bass extension make it difficult to recommend when sound quality is the deciding factor.
The case for the JBL Partybox 330: Handle and wheels are convenient. The catch: Sound quality is nearly identical to the 310 and Stage 320 despite the power bump.
Buy the JBL Partybox 330 if you want the more capable all-purpose party speaker and do not mind that its power increase over related JBL models is modest.
Buy the LG XL7 only if its particular design and mobility suit your use better than the JBL, and you prefer a softer treble balance.
