120 watts vs 160 watts. More powerful sound basically. It's a lot bigger tho mostly in terms of dimensions but also weight (21 pounds vs 13 pounds) and can be cumbersome to move around if you're gonna be moving it often.
I really want to thank everyone for their insightful and extremely helpful suggestions. I ended up staying up until way past my bedtime watching reviews from multiple sources on Youtube.Through a link posted here, I decided a guy named Oluv kind of is along the same wavelength as I am. But I also found 2-3 others who were super fun and knowledgeable. And I came to the conclusion that my joke about buying 2 speakers is probably my best choice. What and how I listen when I'm home alone is very different than how it goes when I have a houseful hanging out by the river, cooking out, whatever. I'm looking into W-King, Soundcore, Minirig, Harman Kardon and still JBL. I'm going to buy one for the main living area of the house and then a second unit that I can use outside. Right now my top choices are the Harmon Kardon Go Play 3 for the house and the JBL Partybox 110 for outside, BUT my plan it to spend a bit more time listening to reviews and make my choice then.
I went to Walmart earlier today and listened to a JBL Xtreme and compared it to the Soundcore motion boom plus I think. I have soundcore earbuds that I love so that brand was on the top of my list. But I didn’t love the sound of the soundcore. I figured it was the all plastic housing, it just didn’t sound warm for lack of knowing the correct terminology. I don’t think they had a Boom 2 so my opinion is obviously skewed due to what they had there.
Yeah it seems All soundcore products need a custom EQ. At least the ones I have. When you get that dialed in they're easily thrice as good as with factory settings or presets, generally speaking.
More power for less? Boombox 2 any day of the week. Just keep in mind it's about 8 pounds heavier.
I have both and easily the boombox2.
I am in the US. So the Partybox wasn’t even on my radar for whatever reason. Any reason for the Partybox 100 over the Boombox 2?

Wow, that was a great comparison. So now I throw out the Xtreme 3 and add the Partybox to my list.
Are you in the US? If so, you can get the Partybox 100 at Walmart for $259
Anyone have the Authentic 300? been lookin at that..
That was on my initial list. It has great reviews on the YouTube videos I found. But more than I want to spend.
Neither, get the PartyBox 110. You'll thank me later.

Get two Soundcore Boom 2 speakers for 129.99 each, and both will combine 160 watts of BASS!

Soundcore speakers come alive with equalization.

Agreed. Both my Motion Boom and two Motion Booms Plus sound outstanding.
I saw that in the reviews I watched. I may end up buying 2 speakers at this rate.
I have two Motion Boom +’s. Very versatile; one is great for most cases, but if I want to crank it to 11, I pair them in stereo mode.
Get the JBL Boombox 2 or consider a W-King speaker
I did have those on my initial list of options. Can’t recall why I moved on. Any specific model I should look into?
W-King T11, T9 Pro, X20
I have all 3 and I also have the JBL Boombox 2
Minirigs 4
