These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The JBL Partybox 720 ranks #6 of 13 large party speakers by sound quality at $1,099.95; the Soundboks Mix ranks #36 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $799.
What the JBL Partybox 720 does well: A very powerful battery party speaker, with very loud output, strong bass and two removable batteries. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Soundboks Mix lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Soundboks Mix. The catch: At 68.3 lbs (31 kg) and 94cm tall, it is still cumbersome despite the wheels.
The Soundboks Mix is the longer-running, lighter option. A rugged, weatherproof party speaker with a swappable battery that runs all day at mid volume and fast USB-C charging. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 15 for the JBL Partybox 720. At 21.4 lbs (9.7 kg) it weighs much less than the JBL Partybox 720 at 68.3 lbs (31 kg). The catch: Doesn’t have as deep of bass as higher-ranked speakers, and can sound somewhat bright in the treble.
Buy the JBL Partybox 720 at $1,099.95 if you want a large party speaker. Buy the Soundboks Mix at $799 if you want a party speaker instead.
