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

Not saying one product is better than the other, but one company makes nothing but audio products, another is known for portable battery packs and charging cables...

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.

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.
They just released the 310 with splash proofing, a retractable handle, and wheels.

The sound appears to be slightly improved as well as app connectivity & features.

Unfortunately it's currently $500, while the 300 is on sale for much less (like $300 I believe).

I will likely wait until Spring to get a 310 for the pool deck, etc. Not paying retail ever.

For those of you just looking for decent sound on the relatively cheaper end, Costco has the ion Pathfinder 4 for $90. I imagine this JBL has better sound but I wasn't overly concerned for a party speaker. I just bought it and it was a huge hit. Has an IP rating, wireless charging, bottle opener and some fun lights.

I have this and its more than enough for my needs never goes above like 50% volume or I would be upsetting neighbors. Also I read it has a user replaceable battery (not supposed to be, but apparently easy to do)

I was torn between this and the other item they had that is fully waterproof, but this one won for me because the battery and the phone charging.

Edit: I have the Pathfinder 3 not the 4.

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!

What else do you need to turn it into a karaoke machine?

Nice! Totally missed that. Will keep an eye on it and hope to snag one when it goes on sale. Appreciate you pointing it out!

Just a microphone. Note it only has one mic input, so you'll have to come with your own method for using more than one mic. Of course you would need your music source as well. We casted YouTube to the TV and used the aux output from the TV to the speaker.

I'd say we're more picky than the average person, but the built-in echo effect was sufficient for us. I believe there's 3 levels of adjustment for that.

We found it sounded significantly better when "sound boost" was turned off for karaoke.

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.
Sorry... I don't really find that very informative quantification of why one of the other. I've been happy with Soundcore speakers and ear buds thus far as I have been with the JBLs I have bought.

Sometimes, I agree with paying more for a name brand... In this instance, why should I?

Maybe you could quantify it by extrapolation. He contrasted the two, and said the Anker has decent sound.

I want better than decent sound, so I may buy the JBL.

I got this for 250 a couple weeks back from bestbuy and it sounds really good. Surprised me for sure. The bass is amazing and punchy. Just saw that target has the same sale. Ended up purchasing it and got it with 5 percent off with my redcard. Also got the 2 year warranty for 24 dollars.

I got one and it's perfect for home use. They can be paired up if you have 2. The 100 can mount to tripod and the 300 can't. I love the fact that u can take it camping or tailgating with built in battery.

I did say Anker speakers sound decent. You got what you pay for! In addition, people has different taste in music.Some people like Bose with less treble and more bass.But for me JBL sound the best in both world .

Here is a video comparing both speakers. Hear it for yourself with headphone on. The ankers lack of treble and sound muddy compared to Jbl.

Tell me what's you JBL speaker bought comparing to your Anker's speakers ?

I don't think you can pair them together. I own jbl partybox 300 and xtreme.party box 300 does not use connect plus.
