So over the last few months or so… bose has really been killing it when it came to their Soundbars and smart speakers meant for the home. But I feel that they have been neglecting their smaller, more portable speakers. But now we’ve got the Bose Soundlink Flex… now even though this thing does have a price premium to it… the Bose Soundlink Flex easily sounds way better than its direct competitors the JBL Flip 5 and Sony XB23.
If you’re looking into getting a compact box speaker either for your man cave or for entertaining with… then chances are the Sony XP500 and JBL Partybox 110 are the first options that come to mind. Now even though the Sony XP500 is decent in its own right, performance wise the Partybox 110 simply just blows the XP500 right out of the water. But if you’re still trying to choose between either of these two speakers then keep watching.
So the JBL Partybox 110 is a great compact portable box speaker that has no problem delivering on sound and even looks. But today we’re going to see how the Partybox 110 stacks up to its larger brothers the JBL Partybox 310 and JBL Boombox 2. If you’re looking for a large speaker either for your man cave, bedroom, or for entraining with all of these speakers are solid options… but depending on your needs you’ll might be better off with one over the other.
So this is the JBL Partybox 110… its a refined version of the Partybox 100 with an even more impressive looking light feature, it sounds a little better, its now water proof and you can even pair it up to a partybox 310 if you want. If you’re looking for a portable box speaker either for your man cave, or for when you’re having get togethers with friends on your patio… the Partybox 110 is a solid pick up that won’t disappoint.
So the new sony XB13 is fine for an ultra portable bluetooth speaker. Now personally I really wish sony added app support and party connect to the XB13… but I also really like the more premium feel of this speaker. But naturally we’ve gotta see how the XB13 stands up to its direct competitor the JBL Clip 4.
Over the last few months sony has been releasing a lot of new speakers… and for the most part all of these new speakers are good and they're a solid upgrade from their predecessors. But then there’s the Sony XB13 which I will admit has better build quality than the XB12 and its fine… but I wish sony would have done more with this speaker.
So the Sony XP500 is a decent little box speaker from sony… however I would mainly recommend this speaker to someone who plans on mostly using it while its plugged in and occasionally plans on using it while unplugged cause running off of its internal battery sound quality wise this speaker does leave you wanting more. However we’ve gotta see how the XP500 stacks up to the JBL Partybox 100.
So the Sony XP700 is a decent box speaker from sony… and for the most part its little brother the Sony XP500 is decent as well. Its got all new drivers and a more dynamic looking light feature. However, the XP500 is a speaker that you’re going to want to use mostly while its plugged in cause running off of its internal battery, performance wise the XP500 really leaves you wanting more.
