@@CMarkR turtlebox can get much louder and has better mid bass, but doesn’t sound good indoors. The boombox sounds good outdoors and indoors as it has a cleaner sound. Boombox is about 40% heavier.
Just from this video, the Turtle Box seems way more clear and crisp. The Party Box vocals just seem muffled. I've never heard either in real life, though. Turtle Box seems good for the boat, though!
Ya the party box has 2 drivers and is three times bigger so I would hope it has good bass. But the turtle box delivers clear audio at high volumes in a small package.
Lotta sibilance from those TBs. Basically a smaller version of seemingly every marine audio system. Nothing below 60hz. The cope is “it has great mid bass” meaning there’s nothing reproducible below 50hz.
If you’re going to listen mainly indoors and in your backyard then def go with boombox 3. Better sound quality and better bass at mid volumes. If you’re going to use it more at the beach or out in large areas then turtle box for the loud volume. Turtlebox is probably twice as loud.
If u want more studio bass homesystem. I’d go jbl. If you want rugged speaker with loud good tweeters then yeah go turtles. I have turtle box and am very mad because one broke after one day using it by the river.
IMO Turtle box sounds tinny, like it has cheap piezo tweeters. Ears will fatigue after a few minutes of loud listening levels. Party box sounds clearer with better balance. Maybe uses silk dome tweets?
I mean the Turtlebox really needs an open area. Otherwise, you’re right, it sounds too harsh. Even a medium size backyard is too enclosed. It’s made for the wilderness.
@@djspeedlace4859 here’s another vid I put out, but I have another one between the SB2 and SB3 on my channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JIA7a34pQnU.htmlsi=qJU_qqP6K0pyG8xb
I love it. However, it depends on what you’re looking for. The turtleboxes are slightly louder (and still clean sounding) and I can fit one in luggage while traveling which I’d not be able to do with a partybox.
As long as space isn’t an issue, then I agree. Unless you like to use your speakers floating on the lake or river ;). Unreal how loud the TBs get for their size.
Just hard to compare them, the party box has two drivers and the box is twice the size so of course it’s going to have more bass. But for the size and weight nothing compares to the turtle box.
After clean loud sound you need good bass or the sound is thin...the turtle box is clean and loud but lacks that deep rich bass...mostly flat upper level bass....not my thing JBL for the win
So the main use I have for the turtlebox is rafting and it has plenty of bass when everyone is close together. I don’t feel like the upper bass is overpowering like it is on the Soundboks 3 or Soundboks Go, which is one of my biggest pet peeves. JBL all around is going to be better suited for most though if they don’t mind moving around a larger speaker.
If you have the money and space then more power to you. 2 PartyBox 110 mounted will entertain 20-30 people easily. If you need more sound than then absolutely. The wheels help too. TB are more for rafting or traveling with ability for loud sound.
These turtleboxes are pure shit for their price tag give me one tribit stormbox blast for 155 over these all day every day... my home set up or for get together is 2 of the 110's i feel those amd the 310 are only speakers from jbl worth their prices.. id take the wking x10 or t11 or soundcore motion boom plus or rave party 2 over these turtleboxes also but my go to for when we head to lake or goin to shoot hoops is the blast.... biught a boombox 3 for 379 this summer it was on sale at walmart and brought it back mext day cuz couldnt justify keepin it with how good the blast is
The turtleboxes are good for loud volumes in wide open areas with a small speaker. Not for inclosed areas. Otherwise you notice that lack of sound quality. But out on open water or open beach with a group, this projects nice and far and clear.
@steve31785 I belive it they get loud just man for 400 there's no way this toughest the blast and bet the blast is dang near as loud if ya set the eq for loudness and not for just good sound
I haven’t heard the blast but from watching some RU-vid videos I believe it was of comparable loudness to the JBL Boombox and I’ve owned JBL Boomboxes. Though the sound quality is better (especially at mid volumes), it’s not remotely close in loudness to the Turtlebox.
The Turtlebox in a parade. The Turtlebox will shine if it's raining. The partybox 100, that did well in a parade. It's not water resistant. Partybox 100 sounds good but loses power. Need a generator. Outdoors, the weather is unpredictable. The Turtlebox, lighter, loud and water proof. Checking out the Soundboks which is water resistant and very loud. Is there a speaker you can play in rain. Maybe the Turtlebox. JBL sounds great though.
The PartyBox 110 will do fine in the rain. I had mine in heavy rain for an hour and it was great. If you’re looking for something very loud and portable the turtlebox is good, but bad sounding for indoor listening. Soundboks go is pretty good for the size as well, but doesn’t sound great indoors either.
@@steve31785 Great for outdoors when it rains, the music plays on. Thinking to get the Turtlebox since they are loud and small, and rain is nothing. Thinking to get the soundboks too. My house will so full of toys.
@Stephen I heard tons. . I have all 3 soundboks and just got the turtle. Brother has jbls .after last summer he bought 2 new smaller soundboks. We put them to the test last year. The soundboks were definitely better than the jbls. That's why he bought 2 soundboks. I'm not saying the jbls are junk . They are good, just not better than the soundboks. And I just wanted the turtle cuz i thought it was cool.
it has the right sound quality for fishing so you won't notice how horrible this car speaker actually is. put a jbl next to it and see why i said that.
It’s good for projecting sound over a large field like if you used it for baseball or kickball game. Or if you want something you can travel with that’s loud for the beach. But yes, if there is less ambient noise, and volume is less important you’re going to notice the sound quality difference.
@@steve31785 well yea, theres a reason why it comes looking like that and even the commercials show it inside a fishing boat xD.. i really dont understand the point of this speaker, most jbl speakers are durable enough even for fishing
My husband is a two time war veteran. We are currently living abroad but maintained our Cali and Miami address. We have ordered this speaker 3 times and they keep canceling our order for who knows what reason. They have no customer service number & takes them forever to answer your email. When they do finally answer all they do is shift the blame as to why they keep canceling our order! . All their excuses made no sense. Not ok to shift blame to your customers for the company’s mistakes. Absolutely horrible experience. Not worth it! 😢
