Incredible sound, build quality, and features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall Quality & Feel & Important Features:
The build quality of this speaker is superb. Every detail was thought thoroughly and it’s the perfect speaker for a gathering or party. From the little click that the handle makes when it locks in place to the rechargeable battery, this is one of the highest quality speakers I have owned. This will be my go-to speaker from now on for house parties or small gatherings as it is the perfect package for my needs. Not only it comes with incredible sound quality, but it also has guitar and microphone inputs which presents more opportunities for fun and entertainment. It’s important to note that the speaker is quite heavy. Therefore, it cannot just be carried around easily despite the handle.
____________
The lights work very well and although they are not as customizable as a JBL Pulse speaker, there is a lighting setting for everyone. From a white strobe lighting to smooth and vibrant hue changes, they are very pleasant to watch and visually add value to the listening experience. The lights are responsive to audio as well, they move quicker once a louder note is played which is awesome. They are fully synchronized with the music. They work very effectively with house and techno genres as tracks usually have very prominent lows. So, in some cases, the lights fully match the track on beat, providing a concert-like experience.
____________
Battery life is amazing on this speaker. I didn’t have to charge it for days when I was using it at home and in the backyard despite having the light show on the entire time. Another very useful feature is the removable battery. It’s very small and the fact that it provides 12 hours of battery in that small size is outstanding technology and innovation. The speaker is built to last a while and it’s built to keep the party going.
____________
On-speaker controls and buttons are designed nicely with proper indicators. They are smooth to the touch and twist. All buttons except the light and volume wheels light up which is very useful at night. The three action buttons also have different colors and that’s a great touch. However, it would’ve been nice to have a customizability option for one or two of the buttons. The bubble button activates a female voice saying “Let’s Party” with an energetic tone, thumbs up button plays a correct/winner type of tune (it’s likely a sound effect you would play after a person answers a trivia question correctly). Lastly, the jog wheel/turntable button plays a DJ scratch noise for a second. I find myself pressing the scratch noise right before drops and “Let’s Party” often, for fun. Moving along on top of the speaker, the bass boost button is very useful. There are two bass boost settings and it’s clearly indicated with a dimmed and strong white light when activated. The little LED strip for the battery life works great as well, it indicates the remaining battery on the speaker very clearly. It usually lights up when a button is pressed, or the volume/lights are adjusted with the control wheels. It would’ve been nice to have the light show, and the play buttons actually light up as well to distinguish the difference easily at night and avoid accidental light or volume-level changes. Overall, all the controls someone would need are all located on the speaker. Many setting changes could be made directly on the speaker without the need for a mobile device. In addition, the back of the speaker has an input for the power cable, aux, and a USB Type-A to charge mobile devices. Most of us need extra juice when partying or after a long day so that is a useful add-on. The section that houses the aux, USB Type-A, guitar, and microphone inputs also has a little light shining from above and that’s one of the coolest and most useful features I’ve seen in a speaker.
____________
Audio Quality:
The speaker is equipped with the signature JBL Pro Sound, blasting 160 watts of power. It is very powerful both inside and outside. I didn’t experience any significant sound distortion, the sound is very clear on all volume levels. The highs and mids are very crisp and defined, while the lows are punchy. The lows are incredible as there are two “Bass Boost” options via the button on the speaker. They make a recognizable difference and truly enhance the quality of the output. Especially in genres that include strong lows such as dance music/electro pop and rap.
____________
Overall, this is a very solid speaker with a powerful output and quality features. It’s well-made with extra attention to detail.

AMAZING!

Purchased this for our outdoor entertainment area. We thought about a more permanent landscape speaker install, but chose the JBL PartyBox120 for the portability and ease of use. I did not want to worry about other speakers outdoors all year in the AZ heat.
We can always add another speaker if needed but so far the one speaker is perfect and loud enough for our needs. Kids love the microphones to sing along as well.

I've never had anything better

So I've only had this speaker for less than a week and I've never felt the want to post a review before about anything until now. I use this speaker everyday and for the size that it is man it is LOUD. I use this speaker at work in a loud environment and still am able to hear every instrument in a song. And at the end of the workday I take it home and plug into my surround sound setup boosting its sound incredibly. A wonderful speaker and I truly recommend buying.

Wow! I really wanted a 320 or even a 710 when I heard it in a store. I realized those may be overkill for my needs and I was right. The 120 is more than enough for most people. It gets loud and stays clear even at high volumes. What a wonderful piece of technology from JBL!

I brought this speaker for my Mom and now I will be getting one for myself. She was hysterical about the beautiful design, sound quality and lights. The sound, effects and connectivity is nothing but remarkable.
