The JBL Partybox Stage 320 is the battery-powered, lighter choice. An excellent sounding party speaker, with deep bass that holds up at high volume, wheels, a removable battery and mic inputs. Its battery is rated for 18 hours, while the JBL Partybox 1000 needs an outlet. At 36.4 lbs (16.5 kg) it weighs much less than the JBL Partybox 1000 at 75 lbs (34 kg). It is rated IPX4, while the JBL Partybox 1000 has no water resistance. The catch: Slightly sibilant in the treble at full blast.
Why pick the JBL Partybox 1000: A huge, powerful party speaker with excellent sound, deep bass, mic and guitar inputs, and wheels for moving it. Watch for: Very large and heavy.
