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 Turtlebox Grande ranks #81 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $730.
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. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Turtlebox Grande lacks. The catch: High price, and JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.
The Turtlebox Grande is the longer-running, lighter choice. A rugged, submersible, crush-proof speaker with a 10 inch woofer and a battery that lasts for days. It is rated for 25 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Partybox Club 120. At 18.8 lbs (8.53 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the JBL Partybox Club 120 at 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg). It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the JBL Partybox Club 120. The tradeoff: In YouTube sound samples it sounds only okay, and bass is shallow for a 10 inch woofer, only down 10dB at about 55Hz.
Buy the JBL Partybox Club 120 at $399.95 if you want a party speaker. Buy the Turtlebox Grande at $730 if you want a boombox speaker instead.
