Short answer: the Partybox Club 120 if you want the cheaper, easier-to-move option; the Rockster Air 2 if the much longer battery and XLR-level inputs matter more than price. These rank #5 and #6 out of 17 party-size speakers, at $499.99 and $399.95.
The Club 120 is the more convenient speaker day to day. It has a handle and wheels, an IPX4 splash rating, and JBL’s app with a 5-band EQ and Auracast pairing - none of which the Rockster Air 2 offers. It’s also $100.04 cheaper and noticeably lighter.
The Rockster Air 2 answers with battery life and connectivity, not convenience. Its 58-hour rating dwarfs the Club 120’s 12 hours, and its single horn-loaded tweeter is built to disperse more evenly off-axis than a typical dual-tweeter design like the Club 120’s - by design, not just tuning. It also carries full XLR line and microphone inputs alongside aux and guitar, aimed more at plugging in real gear than just a phone over Bluetooth.
Both cover the basics - aux and guitar input, karaoke-style mic support, and a removable-or-swappable power source in the JBL’s case (the Teufel’s battery is integrated, not user-replaceable).
Buy the Club 120 for the cheaper, wheeled, weatherproofed option with app control. Buy the Rockster Air 2 if you need it to run all day on battery or you’re feeding it real instruments and mics rather than just a phone.
There is a real gap in water resistance: the JBL Partybox Club 120 at IPX4 (splashing) against the Teufel Rockster Air 2, which has no water resistance.
