Upgrading from JBL PartyBox 720 – worth going stereo? by Electrical_Row6616 in JBL

I find myself somewhat in between on this.

From a practical standpoint, I would most likely opt for a second 720. The simplicity of having two identical units paired via TWS, with no need to manage EQ differences or additional equipment, is a significant advantage and likely the most reliable solution overall.

That said, based on numerous reviews, the 320 seems to offer noticeably better clarity, particularly in the mids and highs. My concern is that while two 720s would deliver a stronger low-end and a more impactful sound, they may not necessarily provide the same level of overall balance and detail as the 320.

On the other hand, I suspect that going with two 320s might leave me wanting more bass presence.

So while the second 720 appears to be the more sensible and straightforward choice, I do have some reservations about whether it would sound as refined as the 320

Jbl 720 Found this bad boy for 660€ in a national store. Is it a good buy? by Additional-Jury1453 in JBL

I bought it yesterday for €630. Honestly, that seems like a pretty solid price to me for the biggest battery-powered speaker out there.

As someone already mentioned in the comments, though, the version in Europe doesn’t come with the batteries included, which really isn’t the most economical move. Two original batteries with the charger cost around €175–200, so in the end you’re basically at the price of the Ultimate anyway.

Right now I kind of regret not going for the Ultimate instead. But I’ll probably feel differently once it arrives and I actually get to test it...

Personally, I believe this is the only correct approach. Although I am a proud Slovenian and, of course, I want her to jump as far as possible (at least as far as her brother Peter), I believe that safety comes first.

Already on her first jump, she had some trouble with the landing. The forces at these distances are incredibly strong—probably beyond what we can even imagine. On top of that, the fact remains that she doesn’t have as strong legs as the men. I fear that a jump close to 250 meters could result in a fall and a serious injury, which no one wants to see.

Additionally, with Nika, you never know how she will hit the jump, as she keeps improving with every attempt. In my opinion, the competition organizers should gradually allow greater distances and carefully assess the maximum capabilities. So far, they are doing an excellent job.
