Incredible sound, build quality, and features
5 out of 5 rating

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall Quality & Feel & Important Features:
The build quality of this speaker is superb. Every detail was thought thoroughly and it’s the perfect speaker for a gathering or party. From the little click that the handle makes when it locks in place to the rechargeable battery, this is one of the highest quality speakers I have owned. This will be my go-to speaker from now on for house parties or small gatherings as it is the perfect package for my needs. Not only it comes with incredible sound quality, but it also has guitar and microphone inputs which presents more opportunities for fun and entertainment. It’s important to note that the speaker is quite heavy. Therefore, it cannot just be carried around easily despite the handle.
____________
The lights work very well and although they are not as customizable as a JBL Pulse speaker, there is a lighting setting for everyone. From a white strobe lighting to smooth and vibrant hue changes, they are very pleasant to watch and visually add value to the listening experience. The lights are responsive to audio as well, they move quicker once a louder note is played which is awesome. They are fully synchronized with the music. They work very effectively with house and techno genres as tracks usually have very prominent lows. So, in some cases, the lights fully match the track on beat, providing a concert-like experience.
____________
Battery life is amazing on this speaker. I didn’t have to charge it for days when I was using it at home and in the backyard despite having the light show on the entire time. Another very useful feature is the removable battery. It’s very small and the fact that it provides 12 hours of battery in that small size is outstanding technology and innovation. The speaker is built to last a while and it’s built to keep the party going.
____________
On-speaker controls and buttons are designed nicely with proper indicators. They are smooth to the touch and twist. All buttons except the light and volume wheels light up which is very useful at night. The three action buttons also have different colors and that’s a great touch. However, it would’ve been nice to have a customizability option for one or two of the buttons. The bubble button activates a female voice saying “Let’s Party” with an energetic tone, thumbs up button plays a correct/winner type of tune (it’s likely a sound effect you would play after a person answers a trivia question correctly). Lastly, the jog wheel/turntable button plays a DJ scratch noise for a second. I find myself pressing the scratch noise right before drops and “Let’s Party” often, for fun. Moving along on top of the speaker, the bass boost button is very useful. There are two bass boost settings and it’s clearly indicated with a dimmed and strong white light when activated. The little LED strip for the battery life works great as well, it indicates the remaining battery on the speaker very clearly. It usually lights up when a button is pressed, or the volume/lights are adjusted with the control wheels. It would’ve been nice to have the light show, and the play buttons actually light up as well to distinguish the difference easily at night and avoid accidental light or volume-level changes. Overall, all the controls someone would need are all located on the speaker. Many setting changes could be made directly on the speaker without the need for a mobile device. In addition, the back of the speaker has an input for the power cable, aux, and a USB Type-A to charge mobile devices. Most of us need extra juice when partying or after a long day so that is a useful add-on. The section that houses the aux, USB Type-A, guitar, and microphone inputs also has a little light shining from above and that’s one of the coolest and most useful features I’ve seen in a speaker.
____________
Audio Quality:
The speaker is equipped with the signature JBL Pro Sound, blasting 160 watts of power. It is very powerful both inside and outside. I didn’t experience any significant sound distortion, the sound is very clear on all volume levels. The highs and mids are very crisp and defined, while the lows are punchy. The lows are incredible as there are two “Bass Boost” options via the button on the speaker. They make a recognizable difference and truly enhance the quality of the output. Especially in genres that include strong lows such as dance music/electro pop and rap.
____________
Overall, this is a very solid speaker with a powerful output and quality features. It’s well-made with extra attention to detail.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size works really well, mid-sized and weighs about 24 lbs. with a handle on top making it easy to take on the go, with battery life of 12 hours. My first impression id the premium materials and design, feel durable and made to last and waterproof IP rating, premium buttons. One thing to note is there is a swappable battery, you can keep the music going for long playback as well increasing the longevity of the speaker itself. The sound is amazing with deep base sporting 2 tweeters and 2 woofers with 160 watts of power using Bluetooth 5.4. I have used it as a musical backdrop for the balcony or at the beach, it’s excellent. There are also DJ sound features that can be controlled on the or right on the top. Along the back panel which lights up at night, you have several inputs an USB, Axillary, 2 mic inputs (for karaoke, and guitar input. There is also a line out port so you can daisy chain this speaker this speaker to virtually any other speaker for added sound, in addition within the phone app you can connect other JBL speakers to create a stereo wireless sound stage. The stand out feature for me is the lightshow up front! The amazing and dazzling lights are very immersive giving the room a party vibe and of course can be turned off when I use this speaker within my home.

Party Champion with Flash and Boom

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL PartyBox Club 120 is a booming box speaker that sounds fantastic. Music blares out of it with excellent fidelity while the bass makes you tremble. The light effects it offers only add to the speaker's partying chops, turning it into a great addition for any party.
The PartyBox 120 is impressively loud, and works well for outdoor or indoor gatherings (though your neighbors might complain). I've only used it at the 40-70 volume range so far and I'm still fairly sure my neighbors heard all the songs I played.
The speaker has playback and volume controls on the top for convenience and they feel nice to use as well. The speaker's sound profile and lightshow are both customizable in the app, allowing great personalization for both features. It's battery life is excellent, capable of lasting through any party though it can also remain plugged in for longer times. The speaker's IPX rating is another plus, which definitely makes me a little more comfortable when I bring it around for pool parties.
The speaker also has inputs for guitars and microphones for karaoke, something I've not tried yet, but am greatly looking forward to at my next party. All in all, its a fantastic choice for those looking for a party box speaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As usual JBL delivers. Amazing sound highs and lows. You can really crank up the Bass. I also love that it has a rechargeable battery that can also be replaced if needed. Having the battery allows it to be more portable. It has a built in handle of the top that allows for easier transport. The battery lasts a good amount of time. It is very easy to connect and control from your phone. The app is very intuitive and easy to understand. This is a great speaker if you like to entertain as a DJ or musician. Would highly recommend!!

I Think It's Time For A Party!

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find myself repeating time and time again that JBL never ceases to amaze me with their products. Every time I get something new, I'm impressed all over again and left wondering how they manage to keep topping their selves. The PartyBox Club 120 is no different - super impressive sound (and lights).
For starters, what I probably love the most about this is that it can run off an included battery. When mine was delivered, the battery was a little above 75% charged and I listened to this for several days on just the battery alone. I finally have it charging now through the included AC-power cable, but the battery is definitely long-lasting.
This speaker is just under 2 ft. high and comes just above my knee-cap. The weight as shown on the site says 24.35 lbs., but it doesn't feel that heavy to me - maybe because of the sturdy handle on top that makes it convenient for carrying.
The material it's made of feels strong and high quality. I think even playing music at its loudest that you wouldn't have to worry about it sliding or falling over.
It connects via Bluetooth quickly and easily and there's even an option to pair it with identical speakers for true stereo/surround sound.
Sound-wise, this thing is great. I work as a Audio Mixer and Sound Engineer and this definitely meets my standard of great sounding audio/music. It can get really loud - so loud that I normally only listen to it at under 50% volume. Whenever I throw my next party I'll be able to really crank it up, but until then if you're just listening at home or at a fairly small outing, listening between 30%-40% will do. On the top panel of the speaker itself, you are able to turn the volume up/down, pause and skip forward/back songs, as well as boost the bass between the options of Deep or Punchy.
Like most JBL products I've used, the real magic happens when you use their app. For this, you'll need to download the JBL PartyBox app. It works with both iOS and Android and the app performs the same on both from my tests. In the app, there's some bonus features for the sound that allows you to choose from some EQ presets or create your own with a 5-band Equalizer.
This speaker also features a really cool set of light options that will really make your party that much more fun and you can alternate through the different light settings via a knob and button on the top panel, or for more control you can control the lights and colors/patterns through the app as well.
This does serve as a karaoke type of speaker as well, so you're able to hook up a microphone or guitar via connection inputs inside of the rear panel on the speaker. There - you have input control as well, which can also be controlled via the app, too. I don't have a guitar to hook up and test, but I did record a video demonstrating a microphone test as well as showing the different light settings you can choose from. There's a separate Equalizer specifically for your microphone which allows you to adjust the bass, treble and echo - which I loved as different microphones sonically have a different characteristic about them, so I thought it was great that JBL thought to include that.
Additionally, there are some DJ-like party effects such as record scratch sounds, vocal effects, music fx and sound fx that you can control from within the app or by 3 buttons on the top panel. I loved the record scratch sounds and the music fx, though I thought the vocal effect choices could have been better. Nonetheless, I think it's cool to have such features included.
All-in-all, I'd give this speaker 10 out of 10. Out of the different JBL products I have, this is definitely one of my favorites and I can't wait to throw a party so I can turn this baby all the way up to 100% volume.
Great job, JBL - well done!

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're searching for a portable speaker that's not only powerfully present, but can also rival a light show of a concert, then the JBL Partybox 120 is a perfect match. This speaker is designed to take your party to the next level with its impressive features and robust construction.
First, let's talk about the design. The Partybox 120 has a rugged construction that can withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures. Its splash-proof design ensures that you can party by the pool or at the beach without worrying about water damage. The folding handle makes it easy to carry, while also providing a possible way to hang the speaker wherever you need it. Its a sleek and attractive speaker that carries a real presence.
What truly sets this speaker apart is the intense sound quality and the bright LED lights that sync up to the music. The absolute volume and bass of the music will be felt rather than just heard. Inside a house, the volume will really only need to be set at halfway to have it boomin plenty. That along with the bright lights creates a truly intense and upper tier party speaker. The sound quality is also impressive, with clear highs, deep bass, and a balanced midrange that ensures every note is heard with clarity. Pair that with the ability to plug in a mic and a guitar and you'll be truly rockin.
Another standout feature of this speaker is its long battery life. With up to 12 hours of playtime on a single charge, you can keep the party going all night long without having to worry about running out of power. And if you do happen to run low on battery, the swappable battery design allows you to easily replace it and keep the music playing.
One of the best features of the Partybox 120 is its ability to sync with multiple speakers. Using the built-in connectivity options, you can pair multiple speakers together to create a synchronized sound system that fills the entire space with music. This makes it perfect for larger gatherings or events where you need to cover a wide area with sound.
Overall, the JBL Partybox 120 is a powerhouse of a portable speaker that delivers on all fronts. With its bright lights, rugged construction, long battery life, and impressive sound quality, it's sure to be the life of the party wherever you go. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, hitting the beach, or going on a camping trip, this speaker is the perfect companion for any adventure. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really enjoying the JBL Party Box 120. The sound is really great. I brought two mics and the sound was so clear with no feedback. Can't wait to have karaoke night! The addition of the JBL PartyBox app is a plus. The app allows you to ajust the sound of the speaker and also the microphone. And the special efx sounds adds more fun while playing music. The only issue I have is the JBL Partybox app doesn't connect right away. I have to close the app 2 or 3 times for it to connect to my tablet or phone. The kids likes the lights on the front.

Impressive Portable Sound System

Mr James . 4 months ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am rating the JBL Party Box Club 120 with 5 stars but with one exception....that is, the Club 120 is almost 25 lbs. If the buyers intention is to carry the speaker more than a couple of minutes I believe this should have integrated wheels and a telescoping handle. The fold away handle is very convenient and stores nicely.
The sound is good quality with nice bass (2 x 5.25" woofers, 160 watt RMS) and the light show adds to a party, celebration, or get together atmosphere. The Club 120 is now my go to portable speaker system because the sound quality is really good, the bluetooth for allowing me to use a headset works well, and I love the compact size. There a couple inputs for microphones and even a guitar input. This has an impressive 12 hr battery life (removable battery so you can buy a spare) and a splash proof rating (IPX4). Connecting to the JBL is super fast and if you have other Partybox speakers you have the ability to link them all together. The Club 120 fits nicely into the trunk of my car as well.
Impressive sound, portable with 12hr battery life, somewhat light weight, nice light show options, and it even has 3 DJ sound affect buttons.

JBL PartyBox Club 120 Portable Party Speaker FAQs
Boombox3Killer . Apr 7, 2024
Given the price point is similar, Is the sound output 'louder' than a Boombox 3?
Answer from Customer Support4 months
Thank you for your inquiry. When it comes to loudness, our JBL PartyBox Club 120 is typically 'louder' than our JBL Boombox 3 due to its larger size and higher wattage, which allows it to deliver a more potent audio performance given its design and focus on party settings. However, for users who prioritize portability along with a strong and balanced sound, the Boombox 3 could be a more suitable choice. It's important to note that user preference can vary greatly based on the intended use and environment in which the speaker will be used.
