JBL PartyBox 710 -Party Speaker with Powerful Sound Built-in Lights and Extra Deep Bass IPX4 Splash Proof App

If you buy one within 2 days you'll want two of these. Bought one in August, was 27 percent off ($599). Two days and price went up $200. Watched prices go up to $900/$1000 then November 12 seen it was at 699/ 18 percent off, bought another. 11/16 see price back up to 849. No regrets - paring works great, syncs up nice with light show and in stereo mode very nice separation. In a 12 x 14 ft room these are insane at 70 percent volume. Sound pressure so intense in room my 15" RTR Evictions act as passive radiators- excursion about 1", not exaggerating. Do yourself a favor if you love music and buy them. Run these up to 3 hrs at a time 70 to 90 percent volume and they don't break a sweat with dual cooling fans. No distortion but bass doesn't increase after 80 percent, just mids/tweeters get a little louder. Extremely well designed speakers. 11/17- Wanted to add these work great for watching movies ect. Run them 30 percent volume and explosions/gunshots/earthquakes sound awesome. Currently fixing rattles in my windows in living room, at 30 percent volume windows are making a lot of noise. Read more

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.** Read more

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.
