The JBL PartyBox 310 is more than a seriously powerful Bluetooth speaker. It's a light show, karaoke machine, portable PA, and DJ sound system all rolled into one. And you don't even need a roadie. This brawny 38.4-pound speaker has built-in wheels and a telescoping handle — just like a suitcase.
Stream tunes via Bluetooth from your smartphone or tablet. Or plug in a flash drive preloaded with your party mix. And if anyone wants to sing or play along with the music, the PartyBox 310 has two 1/4" jacks for guitar and microphone inputs.
Big sound for big spaces
The PartyBox 310 features two 6-1/2" woofers and two 2-1//2" tweeters for clean, hard-hitting sound. A rear-firing port reinforces the bass. And there's selectable Bass Boost if you want to make your tunes thump even more.
Want bigger sound? You can pair two PartyBox 310 speakers wirelessly for either two-channel stereo or just to double the volume.
Do more with the JBL PartyBox app
With the JBL PartyBox app, you can DJ like a pro. Customize the five light show displays — or kick it into high with the strobe option. You can also match the light show to the genre of the music playing.
The PartyBox 310 also has built-in sound effects, such as an air horn, dog barks, record scratches, cheers, and boos. You can also add your own.
The app can suppress vocals in your music as it plays, making any song a karaoke track. Plus you can adjust bass, treble, and echo in karaoke mode.
Other cool features
There's a built-in slot for your smartphone or tablet. It holds your device securely upright so you can control it with just your fingertips. The top-mounted control buttons have a built-in ambient light sensor. When the light dims, the buttons are backlit.
A pair of 1/4" jacks let you connect two microphones (great for duets). Or use one of the inputs for a guitar instead (great for solo musicians). Each input has its own volume control knob.
Portability and power
The speaker has a built-in rechargeable battery that can deliver up to 18 hours of operation. You can use the speaker's USB port to charge your smartphone or tablet. And the PartyBox 310 comes with a detachable AC power cord, so you can keep the sound and light show going indefinitely.

I was considering this or the 710. I went with two of the 310s for outside at my lake house. There is plenty of power here and anything more would really irritate everyone within 5 miles! The bass boom is deep, rich and loud!
