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.

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.

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.

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.
