JBLPartyBox 710 -Party Speaker with Powerful Sound, Built-in Lights and Extra Deep Bass, IPX4 Splash Proof, App/Bluetooth Connectivity, Made for Everywhere a Handle Wheels (Black)

As you can see in the picture, I own both the PartyBox 110 and now the 710. The 110 is fantastic and if used indoors while plugged in, is loud enough for a gathering of about 40-50 people. However, if a gathering became larger, the 110 simply would become drowned out in the noise of conversation.So, we started using a 310 for gatherings (owned by friends) but the same thing would occur when the gathering would reach about 50-70 people. Even then it could sometimes sound like background noise.We tend to throw larger events (a college student here) so I decided to finally break down and buy the 710 so the sound issue would no longer be prevalent. After watching numerous review videos, they all mentioned how ground-shaking the bass was. Well, I can now tell you, they were not lying.Although this speaker does have to be plugged in, it's too large to be portable anyway. Having a built-in battery wouldn't do much anyways because I can't see a situation where this beast would be used that is not next to a power source. This is not a product you want to bring to the beach. It would make every other beach-goer angry with you.We have used this thing at large gatherings 80+ people inside and it is so loud that the music does not get lost and the bass rattles through the crowds chest. It is truly the center piece of whatever event it is present at. The wheels are nice to move it, but we would just throw it in the backseat of a car and move it place to place. The lights are also really good looking, but the sound is what I spent my money on. For personal use, max volume is definitely overkill. At 50% volume, it seems louder than the 110 on max volume and the bass is definitely deeper. Crank it up to 100% and you have a miniature concert. It also has worked well with DJ boards, if that is a concern.All in all, if you are looking for a semi-portable speaker that can bring sound for a crowd of 80+ people (even 100+) where the 110 and 310 cannot, then pick up the 710. If you are looking for a loud speaker to bring on trips, grab the 110.However, the $800 price tag will gate-keep a lot of people from picking this speaker up. I do believe it is worth the $800 if it is being used as a PARTY box. This speaker is meant for large crowds. Tame listening still sounds amazing, but this beast is supposed to be getting people up out of their seats. Max volume with bass boost will have everyone at the event dancing and singing.9/10 in my opinion, only lacking a point for portability.

First off, I am not easy to impress with audio...I am used to custom built TC Sounds subwoofers providing the low end ...but these two 8 inch drivers are tuned well...and have fantastic output . Move lots of air through the port, without any noticeable port noise...well designed.What sold me on these ( I bought 2 of them, saw the drop to 649 bucks...jumped on it ), was watching a JBL 710 Teardown video...the build quality on these is amazing...they use an MDF braced enclosure under the plastic framing...dual fan cooled amplifier section at the top for better heat dissipation...its a tank inside as well as outside.The App is very robust, pairing the two 710's was not only easy...it stayed problem free the entire night of testing...lets just say I wish my pair of Hyperboom's pairing was a robust as this 710's is . Also, when updating the software...watch the speaker...the LED ring around the woofer mirrors the apps progress...what a COOL detail to think of.The BassBoost DEEP setting is FANTASTIC, the Punchy setting is HORRIBLE...set it to DEEP.It cant be all perfect ( Really close though ) , the AC input could have been better...the little figure 8 input plug is not good for plugging/unplugging on a regular basis.And the tweeters were a strange choice, almost as if JBL found a hidden stash of these old coned 2 inch drivers to use...they do OK...but lack in high end extension...and seem very directional. This would kill a critical listening speaker, but on this in your face monster speaker...It doesnt bother me much ( Hey, had to find SOMETHING to gripe about )I gotta say, while I expected a lot from the 710 from the reviews and watching the Teardown video...the actual speaker delivered even more....believe the hype...this one is the real deal.

I have been shopping for a sound system to install in my workshop for months. I was looking at putting in a Bose in-ceiling system that would hide away in my surveillance closet and be invisible. However, that was going to cost me a few thousand dollars and take a while to install. I decided on instant gratification and started looking at these party boxes. The 310 was the one i was looking at as it was going to be appropriate for the space I'm putting it in. But then i thought, "why spend $this when i could spend a $few hundred more and get 800 watts?!" So i started looking at reviews, everything from the 310 to the Ultimate edition, and for the money and reviews the 710 won in my eyes. I received it yesterday and set it up, which only took about 20 minutes including downloading and installing new software/firmware and the app on my iPhone. The moment I turned it on and hit 'Play', I knew i made the right choice. Let me tell you, I am a stickler when it comes to sound quality, and for the $800 i spent on this, it's definitely the best for the money I've spent and is almost as good as a whole-house system. I have a 2000 square foot building with 4 rooms in it and i can hear it very clearly and crisp anywhere in the building. I don't care much for the mic/guitar inputs nor the lights, but i can say the lights ARE pretty cool-looking if wanted. Just buy this thing, don't bother comparing it to others. The only downfall (it's not for me but might be for some) is that it doesn't have a battery and is technically not portable. But, it weighs 71 lbs (due to the heavy subs and amp it takes to punch as hard as it does) and should be looked at as a semi-stay-in-place fixture. It has wheels and would be easy to move if you have an extension cord for the backyard, but I'm using it full-time in my studio. LOVE IT!!! Thank you, JBL, for making such an amazing product!**I rarely write a review and i buy a LOT of toys, but it would be injustice to not give this item the praise it deserves given how much I like it.**
