Here is a small indoor comparison of the SOUNDBOKS 3 with the new JBL Party Box 320 at medium volume (40% JBL and SB3 5,5/11) without extra bass boost. My impressions of the sound:

The JBL can do more low bass (suits rap / hip hop) and the SB3 has more kick bass for it and I also like it better with the sound example or for example rock / metal.

The SB3 emphasizes the highs less and the mids more, so it doesn't sound quite as clear as the JBL but is therefore less tiring for the ears and you get used to the sound anyway.
Due to the mono configuration of the SB3, some audio information is somewhat lost compared to the stereo tweeters on the JBL.

The SB3 has a more robust appearance overall, but the JBL is a bit more portable due to the wheels and the lighting effects are nice (unfortunately they are not exactly synchronized with the music and of course have an impact on battery life).

    JBL sounds a lot more clear, seems like some of the song gets lost in the SB. I'd pick the 320. Cheaper and very nice sound

    yall sayin the 320 better, sure maybe light wise, and weight wise, sound and clarity is definetly the soundboks, jbl maybe got a lil bit deeper bass but you wont hear it as far as the soundboks and as clear, also the soundboks entirely new is now 692 euro and the jbl is around 580eur so its not even that big of a price difference, just ordered myself the soundboks :D
