SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 17, 2025 – If your idea of a great party is equal parts music, mood, and movement, JBL’s new PartyBox 720 is built to deliver the whole experience—not just background noise. Announced in Garching, the speaker combines powerful JBL Pro Sound, an animated lightshow, and a more mobile design meant for switching easily between living room, backyard, and wherever your friends decide “the real party” should happen next.
Big, Room-Filling Audio With AI-Sound-Boost
At the heart of the PartyBox 720 is 800 watts of JBL Pro Sound supported by two 9-inch woofers for bass and two 30 mm dome tweeters for crisp highs. The goal is simple: keep the sound punchy and clear even when you turn the volume up and the crowd gets loud.
JBL also adds AI-Sound-Boost, which optimizes performance in real time and is designed to “push” each song with more power while reducing distortion. For party hosts, this matters because the speaker isn’t just about loudness—it’s about keeping the beat clean when the playlist goes from pop to techno to live DJ-style mixing.
A Lightshow That’s Part of the Performance
JBL is clearly leaning into the “multisensory” party idea. The PartyBox 720 includes a dynamic lightshow that shifts between starry effects and strobe-style moments, synchronized to the music. It’s the kind of feature that can turn a normal gathering into something that feels closer to a mini event—especially in darker rooms, patios, or garages where lighting becomes part of the vibe.
If you like to personalize the atmosphere, the JBL PartyBox app lets you fine-tune both sound and lighting, so you can match the mood to the night—calm glow for early hangouts, full strobe energy when the dance floor opens.
Made to Move: Wheels, Grip, and Indoor-Outdoor Flexibility
Party speakers live (and die) by how easy they are to move. JBL upgrades mobility with wider, more stable wheels and an improved ergonomic integrated handle, making the PartyBox 720 easier to roll and reposition. That’s a practical win for anyone who hosts: you can start indoors, shift outside, then bring it back in without turning “moving the speaker” into a group workout.
It’s also IPX4 splash-resistant, which is a reassuring detail for outdoor use—think spilled drinks, light rain surprises, or poolside parties where water is always nearby.
Battery-Ready for Longer Nights (With Swappable Power)
The PartyBox 720 is battery-ready, which means the music can keep going even without a power outlet—ideal for parks, gardens, or event spaces with limited plugs. For longer sessions, JBL offers optional, replaceable dual batteries: two battery slots allow swapping, and each battery can deliver up to 15 hours of playtime. There’s also a fast-charge feature that can provide two additional hours of music after just 10 minutes of charging.
Important note: the compatible JBL Battery 600 units are sold separately.
Connectivity for Bigger Setups and Real Performance Moments
For anyone who loves “bigger than one speaker,” the PartyBox 720 supports Auracast™, enabling easy multi-speaker or stereo linking with compatible speakers. It also offers two XLR inputs to connect gear like a microphone, guitar, or DJ console—plus a Combo Jack-XLR connection for straightforward, high-quality audio hookup from different devices.
