The JBL PartyBox 520 is a beast of a speaker. With dual XLR and 1/4-inch combo jacks plus audio over USB-C, there are more ways than ever to connect. Add in 400 watts of power and a customizable light show, and you’ve got a speaker that can boost the vibe at any party, indoors or out.

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the JBL PartyBox 520 has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
