I believe this is the lowest price ever offered from JBL on the PB100, which is a really great speaker in this market. Peace

I own 2 of these and 2 party box 300. One word of caution for DJ-ing is the audio lag on these specifically. Almost 1 full second of lag, keeping them out of sync with headphones plugged into a mixer or controller (this delay exists even when using the wired connection) so if you are comfortable mixing In The headphones only can be a great solution. If you like the one headphone tactic it constantly sounds like a train wreck.

Nice deal! I had bought a couple of Sony's big party speakers but found the bass to be completely lacking. This speaker is a great all around party speaker and maintains that solid sound at high volumes. Bought the JBL partybox 100 last year and I don't regret it!

My brother has one of these and it sounds great.

Been looking to buy one and almost jumped on it when it was $250. This is awesome for $200.

I've listened to a few Bluetooth speakers, and unless you're just looking for something that very portable (not saying this isn't, it's just bigger than most), I think it's very hard to beat this for this price.

It also sounds fantastic for karaoke if you're Asian and into that kind of thing Big Grin
My brother also has a Bose S1 Pro and it sounds pretty similar. I would say audio wise, the Bose sounds cleaner, but definitely not $400 better. I actually prefer the JBL for karaoke.

Just an all around great buy for $200!

These things sound absolutely great, but one word of caution - they have no IP (waterproof) rating. That was the deal breaker for me unfortunately. I'll be first in line when they offer the 300 with water proofing though just because of how great these things sound. Thumbs up on the deal.

For those who have this, is it bluetooth only or can you also connect via cables?

Thinking of grabbing something for on the go dj-ing so bluetooth only is a no-go

It has a 3.5" headphone jack input and output and two amped 6.35" mono inputs (one for a mic and one for a guitar). I don't know if the bluetooth stereo mode works if you're using a wired input, though.

I have two of these and this speaker has been available at $199 several times this year.

It's great for outdoor movies. I use a fire TV stick hooked up to my projector, linked to one speaker over bluetooth (the fire seems to think it's a bluetooth headphone, but whatever). Turn the speakers on, hold down the bluetooth buttons on both simultaneously for five seconds and the speakers link and connect to the fire TV. I do have to use a test audio clip to figure out which is right and which is left, though.

I don't think there is a better party speaker around this size and price out there. Not much sound difference between the 100 and 300 and the 100 is cheaper and more portable. I love mine and use it everyday.

Why the JBL over the Anker Soundcore Rave?

https://www.amazon.com/Soundcore-...B07YRNJVDQ

The one in the link is renewed, but I think WM has them for 200.

Edit. Yep. $200 at WM.

How do these compare to the Sony High power XB72 that was on sale couple weeks ago for the same price.

Well, you are comparing apple and orange here. JBL is top brand on audio equipment. On other hand Anker is genetic china brand with decent sound with cheap price.

Saw a video comparing the xb60 to the jbl 100. Comments were hinting the 100 is far better.

Owning both the xb60 and xb72, I enjoy using the party chain feature, but if only had one speaker, I'd rather purchase from jbl(they specialize in music) over Sony.
