JBL has introduced the next generation of its PartyBox range with the new JBL PartyBox 330 and PartyBox 130, bringing upgraded audio performance, redesigned lightshows and new portability features to its party speaker lineup.
Both models feature a new hexangle profile designed to let sound and light flow around the curved front grille. The speakers also have a redesigned top panel centred around a single control dial for adjusting volume, audio modes and light effects. They are available in Black or White with orange details.
The JBL PartyBox 330 is the larger of the two models, delivering 280W of total output through dual 6.5-inch woofers and twin PEN dome tweeters. The tweeter technology is making its PartyBox debut, having previously been used in JBL professional systems. JBL AI Sound Boost with Smart EQ mode automatically adjusts audio performance to help tracks sound their best.
The PartyBox 330 also features a redesigned lightshow with beat synced dynamics and a ripple effect side panel inspired by miniature JBL horns. It offers up to 18 hours of playtime, with Fast Charge support and an easily replaceable battery. A telescopic locking handle and wide all terrain wheels make it easier to move around.
For karaoke and live performances, the PartyBox 330 includes dual microphone and guitar inputs. A new optical input allows users to connect the speaker to a TV for karaoke sessions, sports game nights and other big screen entertainment. USB C connectivity supports lossless audio, while Auracast allows multiple JBL Auracast enabled speakers to be paired together for larger gatherings.
The more compact JBL PartyBox 130 delivers 200W of JBL Legendary Sound through dual 5.25-inch woofers and twin 25mm silk dome tweeters. The speaker is designed to deliver powerful bass and clear highs, while its updated lightshow combines strobe edge lights with dynamic effects.
The PartyBox 130 provides up to 15 hours of playtime and supports Fast Charge, delivering up to 80 additional minutes of playback after a 10-minute charge. A redesigned foldable carry handle makes it easier to transport, while IPX4 splash proof protection provides resistance against splashes and light spills.
The JBL PartyBox 330 is priced at S$899, while the JBL PartyBox 130 retails at S$599. Both speakers are available through the JBL Online Store and authorised leading retailers in Singapore.
