JBL is known for their PartyBox series. So in our JBL PartyBox 310 Review, we will look into one of its speakers for podcasts.
The PartyBox 310 is a balanced, mid-range speaker producing clear and detailed vocals. It is a portable battery-powered product that livens up your party with its RGB light show. Additionally, it is ideal for everyone who loves booming sounds since it adds more punch to your favourite tunes.
You are in the right place if you want to learn more about what the PartyBox 310 has to offer. So continue reading our JBL PartyBox 310 Review and get every essential detail you need about the speaker.
JBL PartyBox 310 Packaging
Our speaker arrived in a thick cardboard box which we were sure would protect everything inside. The smaller side of the package displayed the company branding and unit name, while the bigger side had more elements. It shows us a coloured image of the PartyBox 310, some details, and the JBL branding again.
There was nothing much on its exterior, so we immediately unboxed the speaker for our JBL PartyBox 310 Review. Since Styrofoam protects everything inside, you do not need to worry about damaged products during shipping.
And aside from the PartyBox 310, here are the other items you will find inside the box:
- AC Power Code (the AC plug varies by region)
- Quick Start Guide
- Safety Sheet
- Warranty Card
JBL PartyBox 310 Review – Design and Functionality
Let us look into the design and functions of the product in our JBL PartyBox 310 Review. The speaker is another addition to the series, and it received some tweaks and upgrades to its light show. However, JBL sticks to what people love about the product.
The ringed lights along the drivers have altering hues. Or, you can use your Bluetooth connection to choose the colours via Smartphone and tap on the ones you want.
This sleek and contemporary speaker emphasises colour, giving the body a more vibrant appearance. Also, its uniform black form makes it simple to integrate into various locations while preserving its aesthetics.
The Partybox 310 has a user-friendly haul handle and is more durable than the PartyBox 300. Although the speaker is heavier than its predecessor, the extra weight helps improves sound quality.
One of the most notable features of the speaker is the addition of wheels and a retractable handle. These elements make moving the PartyBox 310 around simpler than its predecessor.
Although an IPX4 rating does not provide extreme waterproofing, it is adequate. This product can withstand splashes, but tossing it into a pool would be harmful.
We love that the speaker has a groove on the top section where you can rest your phone. Do this while streaming music to make managing your tunes easier.
The JBL PartyBox 310 Control Buttons
A first glance at its control panel might overwhelm you since it looks complicated. However, it is user-friendly since you only need to press a single button for each function.
On its rear, you will see different dials with many functions. Again, it can get puzzling, but fortunately, JBL categorised these into labelled sections. Press the play button twice to skip to the next track or press three times for the previous.
If you use a mic or guitar, the speaker sports volume knobs and gain adjustments. You can use these to dial the EQ of your choice.
It also has a straightforward karaoke setting for toggling external input off/on.

Hands-on with the JBL PartyBox 310
This part of our JBL PartyBox 310 Review is where we share our hands-on experience with the speaker. We used and tested the product for over a week to see how well it performed.
JBL PartyBox App
Before we detail our hands-on experience, let us look into the PartyBox app.
The speaker works with the JBL PartyBox app, enabling you to manage your music in several ways. These include changing the uplighting colour and pairing it with another device for stereo sound. If necessary, you can also sync multiple Bluetooth speakers.
Use the Karaoke functions to fully enjoy audio quality since it features controls and DJ effects. Various events can benefit from the adjustable bass and echo/treble settings, which enhances sound quality.
When we used the speaker, we saw how excellent its battery performance was. It was true to its claims of 17 hours of playback time before we had to charge. Additionally, it only took us around three hours to fill its battery.
It entered standby mode after being idle for 20 minutes, which is perfect for power saving.
However, remember that your experience with the PartyBox 310 may differ from ours. It could vary depending on how much you play your favourite music with the speaker.
Sound Performance
This model meets the JBL standard for robust bass in their speaker systems. To provide the best audio quality possible, it has two 176mm woofers. Plus, it has a Bass Boost mode that adds extra functionality without being overpowering.
The JBL PartyBox 310 surprised us by performing remarkably compared to other similar products. It is a fantastic outdoor speaker, but it also performs admirably in quiet environments. As a result, we can take this one wherever we go and listen to music whenever we want.
The PartyBox 310 is a beast when producing immersive beats for hip-hop or electronic music. The EQ settings on this speaker can help you get the sound quality you want. Plus, the customisation options of its app are sufficient.
Even at higher volumes, we noticed how well JBL maintains balance, allowing for brighter mids and highs while controlling lows. These were enough to prevent muddiness during louder passages.
It is similar when you have plenty of control over all its features. Their functionality should allow listeners to enjoy themselves without worrying about audio becoming muddled too quickly.
Because the speaker has mastered the low-ends and balanced it with mids/highs, we enjoyed music even at maximum volume. However, bass-heavy music and tracks with plenty of percussions can get muddy when played at high volumes.
JBL PartyBox 310 Review Summary
The PartyBox 310 is an impressive speaker that delivers loud, high-quality audio, making it excellent for parties. It has a unique feature that allows connecting compatible speakers to make your party more fun. And its portability makes it even better.
We enjoyed using this speaker during our tests for this JBL PartyBox 310 Review. It delivered loud, bass-boosted music that was not overpowering, which was excellent for outdoor parties.
With its solid construction, portability, and powerful performance, we highly recommend the PartyBox 310.
