Overview_

Top pundits hailed the JBL PartyBox 310, endorsing it for parties, music, and the outdoors. Reviewers at Crutchfield lauded its 32.2Hz to 19.1 kHz frequency response range and decent 3.74 dB standard error. It produced balanced audio with outstanding bass that will please EDM music and movie lovers. Reviewers at PCWorld loved its remarkably loud design, recording a very loud 104.4 dB maximum SPL and low 2.54 dB sound-compression DRC at the maximum volume. This speaker achieved an outstanding 17.1-hour battery life, and it supports stereo. Testers hailed its IPX4-rated water-resistant construction and app-based graphic EQ. Weighing 37.7 lbs during testing, this device is bulky, although it has wheels. The customizable RGB lights on this speaker impressed, however, it has no voice assistant or speakerphone functionality. It also has a high 5.96 dB directivity index, producing a narrow soundstage. Check out the JBL PartyBox 710 review for a wider soundstage. It has a so-so 110 ms iOS Bluetooth latency test and 165 ms Android latency.
