Short answer: the Partybox 710 for most buyers, the Ultimate if you want the higher ranking and the deepest bass. The Ultimate ranks #3 of 13 large party speakers at $1,899.95; the 710 ranks #7 at $649, $1,250.95 less.
Both share the same fundamental limitation: no battery at all, alongside the usual handle-and-wheels convenience and lightshow ability the Partybox line shares. Our notes don’t list a specific tuning complaint for the 710 beyond its size and weight.
The Ultimate’s specific claim is the absolute deepest bass of any Bluetooth speaker on this site, the one thing the 710 doesn’t claim to match.
Buy the Partybox 710 for mains-only party output at a real discount. Buy the Ultimate only if the deepest possible bass specifically justifies the extra $1,250.95.
