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

No problem, I did has the same mind set on people buying products because of brandname.But after owning Yeti cooler products, I don't want to go back 😅! Same principle applies to JBL speaker !
I owned monster blaster and partybox 300 (bigger brother of partybox 100). Monster blaster win for the clarity. But you want loud and shaking bass get the party box. In addition monster blaster is different category than partybox. You really want compare monster blaster to the Boombox with similar designs and purpose as small portable speaker.
Nice, how is the treble and bass on Marshall stockwell II comparing to Party Box 100 ? I mostly listen to heavy bass music like Hip Hop. So, I am looking for portable speaker out there could beat the bass on this Boombox100 ! Thanks
All the company's I've found seem to be cheaply made, or if they do have good reviews it's just a 2 mic PA system with no sound features.

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.
What microphone do you use?
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 have any use for a "party speaker" and my question was an honest one about why one would be better than the other. I forget that I don't hear the nuances others do. Honestly, to me, the all sound fine... I am sure that will incite some sort of riot and it is probably not the answer you sought.
Jbl focuses on music. Sony is just a massive brand that looks pretty.
Oh no doubt the JBL will be a better overall speaker but for less than half the price, and knowing I bought it from Costco it's worth the trade off for me. I had a JBL charge 3 for a to while and it's a great little speaker, but I wanted something bigger, and the Pathfinder did the trick for less than it would have been to replace my JBL charge

An aux cable was ran from the audio output of the TV into the aux input of the speaker. We casted YouTube from our phone to the TV.
As mentioned in my second post, I'd say we're more picky than the average person when it comes to this. Our home karaoke system all cost over a few thousands. We were very pleased with how it performed for it's price. Some people (including myself) were surprised at its price. Just remember to turn off bass boost because that made the biggest difference to us. With it on, it sounded very muddy.
My only other experience with a portable karaoke system would be the Bose S1 Pro. My brother has both, so I'm sure we'll listen to them again soon. The Bose's audio sounded clearer, but I though the vocals on the JBL sounded better. Regardless, there's nothing between the two to justify a $400 price difference. Maybe it's worth $200 more at most, and that's mainly due to Bose "premium" branding, if you believe that. I just couldn't believe something this small and (relatively) cheap could sound this good.
I actually picked one up last night. Now I'm looking at which mics to get. Not saying this is what I would get, but something like this would be the most portable / convenient. Mics can get expensive, but it feels kind of stupid to spend a lot of money on mics when the speaker was only $200.
