What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

Product testers praised the JBL PartyBox 710, endorsing it for music, podcasts, and parties. Experts at T3 love its super-loud 104.4 dB maximum SPL, although it has a 3.26 dB DRC, losing some audio quality at the highest volume. Reviewers at Crutchfield lauded its Bluetooth 5.1 tech, although it has a high 117 ms iOS Bluetooth latency and 199 ms Android Bluetooth latency. It has a decent 26.7Hz to 14.1 kHz frequency response range, and the 3.55 dB standard error shows good accuracy and amazing sound quality. This unit boasts extended low-bass that will delight EDM music and movie enthusiasts. It has customizable RGB lights and various app-controlled DJ effects. However, the 4.70 dB directivity index shows a relatively directional, narrow soundstage. Weighing 61.9 lbs, this device is bulky, and it’s not battery-powered. Check out our JBL PartyBox On-The-Go review if you require a more portable, battery-powered speaker. However, it has a handle and wheels but lacks speakerphone and voice assistant features.
