The JBL Partybox 310 has a fantastic frequency response and bass accuracy. This speaker will provide a dynamic sound, which is why it is called a Partybox.

The speaker is equipped with a graphic EQ, which you can use to customize the sound according to your demands.

It is worth mentioning that this speaker’s overall sound quality is excellent, and it can also play stereo content. You will notice a louder sound when you connect this speaker to a power source.

Now it is time for JBL Partybox 300. The sound quality of this speaker is excellent as well. To be honest, I don’t have anything special to mention about their sound quality because they both have the same frequency response and similar sound accuracy, but there is always something that sets them apart. This speaker’s connection to a power source will be louder than expected. Let me mention that it lacks low bass, but there is nothing to worry about since the speaker has the Bass Boost EQ setting, which will increase the speaker’s bass level.

Final Words

All and all, it can be confusing choosing a winner between these two similar speakers. JBL did a great job furnishing both speakers and giving them pretty cool features.

However, in my opinion, I think the 310 Partybox is the most ideal choice. From the above-mentioned differences and features, I think you’ll come to a conclusion similar to mine as well.
