This is the larger and more powerful sibling to the JBL PartyBox Stage 320, which Lifehacker writer Daniel Oropeza covered in detail in this review . In use, the difference shows up in how much sound it can push. The 720 gets loud enough for outdoor setups or crowded rooms without sounding thin. Bass hits hard, mids stay clear, and highs don’t get lost even as you turn it up. There is some compression at the top end, especially in the low frequencies, but it still holds together better than smaller models. You can tweak the sound through the EQ in the app or use the Bass Boost when you want more punch. The speaker runs on dual detachable batteries with a claimed 15 hours of playback, and it supports Auracast if you want to link multiple compatible speakers. It also leans into the “party” angle with built-in RGB lighting and karaoke inputs, so you can plug in a mic and use it without extra gear.
The downsides come from its size and design. This is a large and heavy speaker, so even though it has wheels, you are not going to move it around as casually as a smaller speaker. It also throws sound forward (having a front-facing design), so where you place it in a room will shape how evenly the music reaches everyone. And while it can handle a few splashes with its IPX4 rating, it is not built for heavy exposure to water or rough conditions. As for its battery life, it holds up for a night, but it does not stretch as far as the JBL PartyBox Stage 320 , which can last well over 20 hours.
