Which is better for karaoke?

The Anker Rave 3S, because it ships with two wireless mics. The JBL has mic and guitar inputs but you supply your own microphone.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

The JBL PartyBox 320, at up to 18 hours versus up to 12 hours for the Anker. The JBL battery is also replaceable, and a 10-minute charge adds about 2 hours.

Is the JBL worth the extra money?

It was $479.00 at its lowest recent price on November 2. You pay more for 40 extra watts, 6 more hours of battery, a light show and app control. Skip it if karaoke mics matter more.

Which is easier to move?

The JBL weighs 36.38 lbs but rolls on wide wheels with a telescopic handle. The Anker's weight was not listed, so check it before buying if you carry it often.

Can I use either outdoors?

The JBL is IPX4 splash proof, so light rain is fine. No splash rating was listed for the Anker, so keep it dry.

Can I link more than one speaker?

The JBL supports Auracast and multi-point connection through the PartyBox app. The Anker lists only Bluetooth and AUX, with no multi-speaker feature stated.
