These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The JBL Partybox 720 ranks #6 of 13 large party speakers by sound quality at $1,099.95; the Teufel Rockster Neo ranks #4 of 15 battery-powered PA speakers by sound quality at $807.72.
What the JBL Partybox 720 does well: JBL’s most powerful battery-equipped PartyBox combines 800W output, two removable batteries, wheels, a light show, Auracast, USB-C playback, app EQ and karaoke/guitar inputs. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Teufel Rockster Neo lacks. The catch: At 68.3 lbs (31 kg) and 94cm tall, it is still cumbersome despite the wheels.
The Teufel Rockster Neo is the longer-running option. Similar tuning to the other Teufel speakers: pretty good, but not top of class. It is rated for 36 hours of battery against 15 for the JBL Partybox 720. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the JBL Partybox 720 lacks. Watch for: Not quite as good sounding as the JBL Partybox 330 or Electro-Voice Everse 12.
Buy the JBL Partybox 720 at $1,099.95 if you want a large party speaker. Buy the Teufel Rockster Neo at $807.72 if you want a battery-powered PA speaker instead.

The Two Speakers In Full
JBL Partybox 720: $1,099.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay
Older model: the JBL Partybox 710 (ranked lower, rated 4.7/5). See every JBL PartyBox generation.
Same family: the JBL Partybox 130 (smaller model, rated 4.4/5) and the JBL Partybox 330 (smaller model, rated 4.6/5).
Pros: JBL’s most powerful battery-equipped PartyBox combines 800W output, two removable batteries, wheels, a light show, Auracast, USB-C playback, app EQ and karaoke/guitar inputs. Independent testing confirms very high output, strong bass and a flexible 5- or 7-band EQ; it can easily cover a backyard or large event.
Cons: At 31kg and 94cm tall, it is still cumbersome despite the wheels. Its front-facing vertical driver layout gives uneven sound to listeners at the sides or behind it, bass compresses at very high volume and reviewers note a faint hiss. The default is dark/bass-heavy, so use the app EQ and do not expect a neutral indoor hi-fi speaker.
