These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The JBL Partybox Club 120 ranks #6 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $399.95; the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus ranks #39 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $169.99.
The case for the JBL Partybox Club 120: A party speaker on wheels with quite neutral sound, a removable battery, and mic and guitar inputs. The catch: Its 40Hz to 20kHz (Manufacturer specified) specification points to limited deep-bass reach for the cabinet size.
The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus is the longer-running, lighter pick. A fairly light stereo boombox, easy to carry to the beach or park. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Partybox Club 120. At 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg) it weighs much less than the JBL Partybox Club 120 at 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the JBL Partybox Club 120. The catch: Warm tuning meaning a rolled off treble and some upper bass boost.
Buy the JBL Partybox Club 120 at $399.95 for a party speaker, or the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus at $169.99 for a boombox speaker instead.
