How does it compare with the PartyBox 1000?

The Ultimate is the larger, louder model, with Wi-Fi, voice assistants and splash resistance the older 1000 lacks. It is also heavier, so portability favors the smaller PartyBox models.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes. It is splashproof with a metal grille and rugged plastic shell, and it is loud enough for outdoor spaces. It is not waterproof, so keep it out of rain and standing water.

What can I plug into it?

It has a guitar input, a mic input and USB ports, so you can run karaoke or a live guitar through the speaker. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth handle streaming from phones and other devices.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes, it supports both Alexa and Google Assistant, and you can control it from the JBL app. You can also pair multiple PartyBox speakers wirelessly for bigger sound.

Is the JBL PartyBox Ultimate worth it?

If you need one speaker that can run a large party or outdoor event with deep bass, it earns its keep. It costs more than the smaller PartyBox models, so buy it only if you need the extra output and features.

Does it run on battery or only AC power?

It is a plug-in home and outdoor speaker, so it needs AC power; there is no battery mode. Plan an outlet or extension cord for outdoor use.

About the JBL PartyBox Ultimate Speaker

The JBL PartyBox Ultimate is a 1,100-watt wheeled party speaker with two 9-inch subwoofers, two tweeters and a 12-inch woofer, built for large rooms and outdoor events. It adds Wi-Fi, Alexa and Google Assistant support, guitar and mic inputs, splash resistance and app control with multi-speaker pairing. It weighs about 87 pounds, so it is a roll-it-out piece, not a carry-along. It sits above the smaller PartyBox models on output and features, and owners rate its volume and bass highly while calling out its weight and size.
