I had that soundcore before they jacked the price. It was $179 when I first got it.. now it's $268. It sounded great though.. never had reliability issues. Shook the floor. The large onn I paid the $139 for and it was also reliable but didn't have as much low end as the soundcore. Haven't owned the 110 but saw a performer using the 310 and wow.. can definitely tell why the price is almost 4x higher lol.
great review! jbl of course!! the ole two onn speakers i sold are still working! for now.lol! i seen a older review about the jbl100, does it put out lower bass than 110?? guy in comments said it did. but?? reason why ??? im looking to buy a jbl party box before long. i guess mr hand has day off. recuperating.. lmfao!!
The JBL’s bass is overwhelming in regards to the treble and Mids.. yeah it 160 watts compared to 120w of the rave..it’s like having a rave plus an xtreme 3 combined… so it’s gonna sound bigger.. it has bigger tweeters and is tuned differently. The bass on the sound core is more balanced though in regards to both treble and mids. The Onn is ear piercing at higher levels 80% and above. For open and overall bass power JBL, for good bass at all levels with a warm sound Rave +, but coming in last is the Onn, ear piercing at 80 +%. The JBL with the 40 watt advantage does give it an edge, even though wattages are relative compared to how they are rated and utilized. The rave + i got for $189 and now it’s going for $149.
Will say the JBL has the best bass, it's more so smooth bass, I think the rave plus has more balanced sound and punchy bass. I do have the rave plus and I always have to have the bass up ft on with the custom eq. I got 2 rave plus for 299 CAD at Costco. If you are just getting 1 speaker, like deeper Bass, and have the money obviously get the party box 110. The ON speaker should be a red flag when you said it can't hold a charge.
Yeah, the Onn is a cheap Chinese speaker that I've read has a lot of reliability issues. Mine shows it's fully charged by the lights, but when you have it on and unplug it, the speaker shuts down within a few seconds.
I'm about to get a party box 310... but I have that soundcore. And it's been in my back yard for 2 years and still works perfectly so idk I'll see how the jbl holds up either way as long as it serves its purpose they are all great
The Onn speaker sounded pretty good to me. I think it has similarities to that JBL speaker. I think the JBL speaker is a bit clearer than the Onn speaker. I like Soundcore, but I don't think that speaker can compete with the other two. That is my opinion. The JBL speaker is crisper. If you account for the prices, I would get the Onn speaker.
The problem is the Onn has known quality issue with this speaker, get a good one then it's a great experience but get a bad one and then you're pissed off. I know I'm one of those guys who'd roll the dice, buy two Onns, and watch a few youtube teardown videos on it and maybe set it up where I can use a battery pack for it. I don't know if the resale on these are available (craigslist, fbmarketplace, etc) but it's just a battery issue it might be supercheap going used and repairing it if it's not too hard.
As far as reliability goes my soundcore rave (non plus) has been in near constant use at work for 3 years (I didn't know the plus model existed) glad I didn't hear of the + one. I'll be getting the jbl 310 soon anyway its time for an upgrade
@@JaysStraightUpReviews Ok I'll check them out I was thinking about Dolphin speakers since they have wavsync and my projector only has a signal for one audio device but maybe I can find a Bluetooth receiver or something
Currently on the canadian Amazon site a refurbished Rave + is being sold for $119.99 (roughly $90 usd) think it's worth it at that price? Normally a new unit at best buy is being sold for $399.99 which I think is way too much but I'm curious to know what you think 🤔
I found the Onn. For 99$ and it sounds good for that price so I bought two just to have for cookouts and whatnot. Seems to be decent so far. Even if I end up having to keep them plugged in I feel for 99$ they are worth it. Definitely feel my Sony XP500 has much better quality than the Onn. Though. May end up giving the jbl a shot soon. More bass is always welcome 😀
You feel the sony is better quality... lol. That's not a feeling or even an opinion. It's a fact 😂 but the sony is more than double price (regular costs)
I don't know, how it is in your region, but In my region Rave plus has almost same price as JBL Xtreme 3. Do you know, what is better in terms of sound quality and loudness: Xtreme 3 or Rave plus? But yeah. In this video Rave plus has the worst sound. ... And instead of PartyBox 310 you can by 4 Anker Rave Plus speakers at the same price :D
Rave+ is far bigger and in a different category of speakers than the Xtreme 3. Just depends on what you need, but if you want bigger and louder Rave+ is ahead of the Xtreme 3.
Do you think the jbl partybox 110 would hold up to condensation outside from it being a like 45 degrees out with only ipx4? Or should I buy a ipx6 or better speaker
I bought 2 JBL 110s and returned them. Basswise, amazing, but their highs could only be pushed so far and the equalizer is quite limited. Additionally, although the sound is very good, the battery life kills it for me. If you're playing this very loud, one might get around 4-5 hours, which is unacceptable at that price. One last thing. The lights are cool, but there is no "always on" solid feature. The lights are always doing something and cannot be set to stay put. Great for parties but not do great for ambient lighting.
Rave+ -smooth bass and vibration Jbl- smooth punchy bass but no vibration ONN-Smooth medium bass,more on treble I go for Rave+ or jbl when it comes to sound. Rave+ for sound and price.
@@dhontv5233 I'm assuming you mean lower bass. Nice thing about the Partybox 110 is it has a deep bass setting, mid bass setting, or just turn off the bass boost. It also has the app EQ where you can adjust the bass/mids/treble to your preference. The other 2 speakers don't have the lower bass capability of the 110. 😉
tbh i don’t understand the hype about the partybox 110 as for deep bass when going as low as 30 hz the bass is barely audible so whats the point? the way people talk about it was like it was doing deep bass like a subwoofer would but when i hear it in person its too hyped for no reason the only thing good it has is clean bass and tight bass.
No, the 110 doesn't deliver subwoofer type bass. It does go fairly deep and the bass output is clean and strong. You have to realize you are dealing with a party speaker with just dual 5.25" woofers. Bass boost 1 is for deeper bass, so make sure you use that setting if that's what you are after. Funny thing is, you compare it to a similar speaker, say the Sony XP500, and the bass difference is very noticeable. The Sony just can't hang.
@@JaysStraightUpReviews yes its not bad of a speaker but i must say the fans make it look like its untouchable if you compare it with a 10000 watts subwoofer there will be some fans that will say the pb 110 has deeper bass🤣
I really think you need to play the speakers with no EQ. Throwing in what you think makes them sound best is awesome, but i think the tuning they come with is slightly more important. Theres also no reason to not EQ the cheap one, the one that probably needs it the most. Otherwise great video thanks
The cheap one? If you are referring to the Onn speaker, it has no EQ options, only bass boost on/off. Sorry if my video didn't fit your preference, but I do a lot of videos with stock and custom EQ. This video has over 37k views and you may be the only one who complained about the settings. You can't please everybody. 😂
@@JaysStraightUpReviews as if anybody would've complained that including the base eq settings would be a waste of time. Your curve for the soundcore looked pretty extreme and could've made the JBL seem like even more of a landslide victory than it should've. And when thinking about bang for buck, the onn might have drivers that can be forced to produce a competitively beautiful sound with a free 10-band.
Well thw Onn is actually bass boosted, it just doesn't have any lower bass capability. It's a bit hollow sounding and thin with bass focused music. It does get pretty loud and bright if that is your taste.
@Fred Flintstone Well to be fair a concert is usually in a HUGE auditorium. I have heard a lot of bass at concerts, however. If you like all mid-bass, a hollow sound and very bright highs, then the Onn is a great option.
@Fred Flintstone so very true. A sound signature of a speaker doesn't change when two or more people are listening to it, just how one hears it through their own ears. The Onn sounds to me like it's being played sitting inside a plastic trash can. 🤨
The Onn medium is $50 now from $80,I have the big one & love it,also have these other ones here ,the Onn lg sounds pretty good,Im not into overdone bass like the jbl which I have,the Wking T9 & T11 are also very good,I have the T9
$50 is about the right price. Great thing on the Partybox is you have 3 choices of bass output from the speaker itself and you can also done tune it via the app EQ. So "overdone" bass, as you put it, is a non-issue. You just get rich, quality sound from the Partybox that the ONN can't even get close to.
👍👍 Especially for the price👍 Just got one here in UK (ist called JVC MX-D829PB in here) with No working battery, this dont bother me as I will have it always plugged in anyway, for £50 ! Yes, thats 50 GBP, its like $60 US! That was no brainer for me!
It's the other way around the JBL is more focused on the bass while the onn is more balanced. If you want hard Bass and the rest doesn't matter how it sounds JBL is youre best choice if you want more detailed music onn is the better one
I've been shopping around for the JBL 4 months and I can't find it anywhere within my price range but the on speaker is at Walmart on sale for 99 bucks I bought two and although I know it's not the best it's amazing for the fact that it was 209 bucks out the door they have more there and I plan on getting more but I'm only limited by how much I can fit in my backseat it's a lot of fun and I feel good about the value I can't say the same if I bought the JBL second hand
@Jay's Straight Up Reviews & More thanks so far, I really be burning them in playing them with bass boosted music at maximum volume while still under warranty. If I got the JBL second-hand, I would have no warranty. With them tucked behind the seats of my minitruck, they really do quake. It's overwhelming, the bass inside that small cab that becomes part of the enclosure. I am extremely satisfied, plus as it's a classic truck, I avoid having to cut to professionally install any sound system hardwired to the truck, I can just pull them from the back seat and take them inside
Jbl has a unique sound especially the bass. very similar to the bass of the car's power amp. Anyway, these three speakers have good bass. minus the bass from the sony, the bass is very bad, the bass vibrates for too long, punchy slow.
My brother has the one speaker I’ve heard it in person it’s so loud actually my ears were bleeding no joke and it was vibrating the door in my brothers house to
Always turn off EQ while match testing please. And also 80% and 100% wasn't representative at all. Only punch, no instruments, no voice. Just more like volume test.
The good speaker is the more bass a good clas of bass is wenner not compare the price..because our topic is who is the best sound..for me JBL 110.. its nice bass
JBL 110 overpriced junk. I have one of those and a little old W-king T9. If I could have returned the JBL I would have, and got the new W-King. Its over double the size and 4X the price with marginally better sound. I'm sure the new W-King would have been just as good if not better. Save your money, no were near worth the price tag.
