JBL's PartyBox 520 is a good deal smaller than its big Ultimate sister. But it doesn't have to hide behind it. The speaker delivers a crisp and fresh party sound, and is complemented by great features and an excellent battery life. The PartyBox is significantly larger and heavier than the test winner, making it challenging to transport.
The Partybox 520 is not the first party speaker from JBL that has impressed us during testing - and it probably won't be the last. From the round sound to the long-lasting, replaceable battery and the feature-rich app, the Partybox 520 is simply well thought out. You'll definitely get the next party going with it...
