You need this if you party!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is awesome! I was very skeptical of the party box line, but I am a believer now. The 520 is absolutely amazing. It’s not just a speaker system, but a true music experience. JBL sound quality, massive sound, and lights! The entire family jammed out for hours the first night we had it. Outside, the sound carries a very open area clearly. The 520 is fantastic for outdoor parties, pool days, and night parties are that much better due to the lighting effects (kids absolutely love it!). This is now one of my top 5 JBL favorite items ever! If you need big sound, the Party Box 520 is a no brainer.

New 520 party box !! Smashing it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is real nice party box. It has a real clear sound and good base. The lights are nice and entertaining. I like that it can be linked back to other TWS units. This is not my first party box. I have a 310 in my garage and have used it for years. This new 520 has better sound quality and the volume has way more push. I use it out by the pool and it is perfect. The fact it is splash resistant is just what I needed. The AI sound is a nice addition so you aren’t adjusting it all the time. It is a heavier unit but the bigger wheels make it easy to move.

Amazing sound, very powerful speaker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing sound! The box is huge, connect easily to my Google TV with Bluetooth and the quality of watching Basketball or a movie is just wow.
This can easily be your TV sound system, and you can move it around...
The speaker is heavy, but the wheels help to move it, I was able to connect to my Flex TV as well and to my phone.
You can connect a Mic and a guitar as well.
It comes with a battery that you can replace in the future. It was not there on older models.
What i liked about this huge speaker is that it can replace all the speakers I have, specially for TV and Desktop.
There are lights and sounds you can change on the top of the speaker and JBL App (I used the android one) provide you full control of the speaker, include updates.
Enjoy Movies as never before!

… The Perfect Speaker to have a Party anywhere …
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL PARTYBOX 520
I got this Speaker ( Partybox 520 ) a few days ago
and ooh my God , I am beyond impressed how good and
how loud this is . It has great sound and as deep Bass as to be
expected being a JBL Product.
We used it at a Barbecue yesterday and everyone there loved it .
They were Amazed how good it sounds and how cool and practical
the Partybox i . Also very easy to use as all the buttons and features
are pretty straight forward.
- Design.. the Partybox 520 looks pretty cool , the suitcase idea is
very ingenious. The telescopic handle and the wheels make pretty
easy to move and maneuver.
- Sound .. as JBL Product it sounds amazing , just in a much
larger scale this time. You can become a DJ and entertain your
family and friends.
- Control Panel.. all the buttons on top and on the back are easy to use.
You can Turn ON and OFF the lights just by pressing the button
on the top panel.
I found that with the JBL Partybox App you can turn the
speaker off if you desire.
- Size.. in my opinion is comparable to a large suitcase,
it is sturdy and weighs around 50 lbs.
Overall I think is another great product from JBL.

Amazing!
This speaker needs to be on everyone’s to buy list! It’s fantastic and the sound quality is great, I also like the fact it has a bass boost button, which takes music to the next level! The lighting is a great function and you are able to change the colours. The is also an option to plug in a mic so you can have your very own karaoke party. The speaker is quite heavy, however it’s on wheels and has an extendable pull bar so it can be pulled similar to a suitcase. Overall it’s a great product and I recommend to any music lover that loves to host!

Just wow!
I received this speaker about a week ago. For someone who always organises family and friends events. We were always using a small Bluetooth speaker which was always too quiet and no one could really hear the music.
With this speaker. Oh my! It has completely changed how well the parties are going to be now. This speaker is heavy, coming in at 25kg. The handle and wheels really help when it comes to relocating the speaker.
The app is very intuitive and easy to navigate when changing the light modes, seeing battery percentage, changing EQ and adding MOOORREEEE BASS. If you purchase two, you can create a stereo pair!
If you are looking for a speaker for family or friend events. I highly recommend this speaker. You will not be disappointed.

Will a boombox 3 pair with party box 520?
Thanks for your question. Our JBL PartyBox 520 and JBL Boombox 3 can not be paired together as they use different wireless connections. Our PartyBox 520 features Auracast, while our Boombox 3 uses JBL PartyBoost. These two systems are not compatible. To connect multiple JBL speakers, they must support the same pairing protocol.
