What an amazing speak with amazing sound quality
I received this speaker in exchange for my honest review and it’s absolutely amazing. The sound quality is fantastic and so clear . I must add it’s bigger than you actually think and quite heavy to but don’t let that put you off how good it actually sounds. The light show is a nice added extra which can be switched off if you require and the app you can download with the speaker is so easy to use and offers a load more options for the speaker

I bought it a week ago go. So lovely. It is a bit heavy. Music is crisp clear with the bass booming. Bluetooth connects easily. It can pair with other JBL party boxes with use of one button. Battery life is good.

JBL party Box 520
I have many JBL products and The JBL partybox 520 is new addition to my collection. It's a fantastic product if you love outdoor parties and like quality sound. The JBL PartyBox 520 is also perfect for use at home, delivering an extraordinary musical experience for everyday use. There are so many choices of light patterns and if you are having a night party it just look super cool. It’s easy to connect to Bluetooth. Over all i would give this 10/10. JBL has never disappointed with their product.

Great speaker
If I had to sum up: the JBL PartyBox 520 is a beast of a party speaker. It manages to deliver enough power to impress and enough clarity to satisfy when you're not just blasting it. It’s not perfect, especially if you expect perfection at every level, but it does most things very well. For me, the joy came from cranking it up with friends outside, watching how it reshapes a space with sound and light. It’s not subtle — it’s meant to be felt. If you value atmosphere, want something tough and loud and don’t mind paying for it, it’s hard to beat. If instead you need something more subtle, lighter, or cheaper, there are trade‑offs that might make a smaller model more practical. You’ll love it if: You throw parties often, indoors or out, and want something that feels like a centrepiece. You care about atmosphere: lights, rugged design, and the “wow” factor really matter. You want a speaker that’s flexible: mic/guitar inputs, replaceable battery, heavy duty enough for regular use. You don’t mind sacrificing some portability for power. If moving 25‑30kg is doable for you (or you mostly roll it around), the tradeoff is worth it. The lighting effects are a lot of fun. At night, they turn the speaker into an event by themselves. The front bars, strobes, the ambient LEDs – they add atmosphere. Not perfect for every scenario (won’t help your neighbours’s sleep), but when you want a party vibe, they deliver. he connectivity is solid. I liked having dual XLR/¼‑inch mic/guitar combo inputs – if you want to sing, plug in a mic, or throw in a guitar, or even use a mixer, it’s ready.

Amazing Speaker
This JBL party box is simply amazing. It’s super loud and the bass is great for a party! There is an extra hidden compartment to attach to mics and decks for really added impact. Perfect for any party or event. Would highly recommend! Only downside is it’s a little heavy.

Good speaker, a touch loud
This product is a great speaker if you want to rave and party! We have a warehouse so in there it works fantastic with the bass features and volume levels. The coloured lights are super fun and match the party vibe immensely. This product is super heavy but does have built in wheels and a handle. If you want to use this speaker at home the absolute most you'd be able to put it up to is 15% volume or it's simply too loud. Overall a great speaker and if you have the space definitely get it, but in a standard house it's not the best idea if you want to not anger your neighbours 😂

This thing brings the party
I’ve owned a few portable speakers over the years, but the JBL PartyBox 520 is on a completely different level. I bought it for an end-of-summer barbecue and it ended up stealing the show. Right out of the box, it looks bold and built to party—sturdy, flashy, and surprisingly easy to move around thanks to the wheels and telescopic handle. Yeah, it’s not small (and definitely not light), but it’s designed more like portable pro audio gear than a toss-in-your-backpack speaker. As for sound, all I can say is WOW. This thing is loud—like, “you can hear it down the street” loud. But it’s not just volume—the sound is full, clean, and deep. The bass hits hard without getting muddy, and the clarity stays intact all the way up the volume scale. Vocals are sharp, instruments are well separated, and nothing gets lost in the mix. The lightshow is a whole vibe on its own. It syncs with the music, and the patterns make the whole experience feel more dynamic and fun. It’s the kind of thing that gets people dancing, even if they weren’t planning to. Battery life was more than enough—I got about 8 hours at mid-high volume with the lights on. Plus, the fact that the battery is removable and replaceable is a huge bonus if you're planning longer events or outdoor sessions. Also, major props to JBL for including pro-level inputs. I connected a mic for some impromptu karaoke, and it handled it like a champ—no setup headaches, just plug in and go.

Incredible sound quality, brilliant bass!
First impressions of the JBL Partybox 520 is that it makes a statement the moment I saw it – it’s big, solid, and built to last. Yes, it’s on the heavier side, but that weight reflects its impressive build quality. Thankfully, the sturdy wheels and convenient retractable handle made moving it around surprisingly easy. The audio is nothing short of incredible, with powerful sound and adjustable bass options to suit any mood which you can also adjust the sound settings from an app on your mobile phone allowing you to control features such as the light control and effects lab on the front of the speaker and the inbuilt DJ announcements, Equaliser and microphone effects. Connectivity is seamless with both Bluetooth and wireless capabilities, and the dynamic light show adds a real party atmosphere. As a bonus, it has an input on the rear to connect a guitar.

Excellent speaker
The speakers bang! I have no regrets with the purchase I really wish the USER MANUAL was in the package though. The quick start guide just doesn't cut it. Thankfully I was able to locate a PDF of the user manual and get it printed.(The speakers have different inputs & knobs on the back that you need to know how to use correctly to enjoy the most out of the speakers...and also not damage them. Read the user manual

This thing is insane 😆 ...amazing
This speaker is insane 🤯🤯 I own a different selection of JBL products and have really enjoyed the all so naturally the party box 520 had to be added 😆 If you like to party do a bit of karaoke or just love your music then this thing is definitely one to consider ... First of all the sound quality is unbelievable I was literally scared of turning this thing up to max volume incase it blew my windows out ..the sound is crisp and the bass is impressive..we had this out on the garden with a few friends and the sound even outside was pumping at half volume I think you put this in a field and you'd hear it from the other side 😆...once the light faded that's when the light display comes in and it looks really cool ...we then passed the mic around for a bit and had a sing along everyone was really impressed...overall I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves music and is looking for a speaker to entertain it won't disappoint

TOP NOTCH SOUNDS
Amazing. Best battery powered PartyBox I’ve owned. Huge step up from the 300 that I’ve had for years with no issues, I’ve just decided it was time for an upgrade. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing speaker.
My expectations for the JBL Party Box 520 were high, but reality exceeded them, and my first experience with this product took my breath away. The JBL Party Box is designed for large events, both outdoors and in large venues, and this is evident from the moment I opened the box. It's a huge speaker with an eye-catching design. The sound coming from this speaker is incredible, the bass is deep and heart-pounding, and the incredible light show creates a unique experience. Although the speaker is heavy, the extended handle and wheels make it easy to move. Larger parties and the need for even more sound power are no problem thanks to the JBL Auracast™ function—you can pair two or three speakers together. The JBL PartyBox 520 is also perfect for use at home, delivering an extraordinary musical experience for everyday use.With a battery life of up to 15 hours, you can take this speaker anywhere.

Great Sound Quality
Obsessed with the JBL PartyBox right now, its big enough to fill the whole house or even the garden with music, plus super easy to roll around thanks to the builtin wheels. Took it to the park for a mini sports day with the kids and it was just a vibe. The lights had them mesmerised and honestly made it feel like a full on party. But the SOUND quality is everything! crystal clear, super loud just puts pulls you into the music. Am sold loving the JBL 520 10/10.

Amazing!
This speaker needs to be on everyone’s to buy list! It’s fantastic and the sound quality is great, I also like the fact it has a bass boost button, which takes music to the next level! The lighting is a great function and you are able to change the colours. The is also an option to plug in a mic so you can have your very own karaoke party. The speaker is quite heavy, however it’s on wheels and has an extendable pull bar so it can be pulled similar to a suitcase. Overall it’s a great product and I recommend to any music lover that loves to host!

brilliant
The JBL PartyBox 520 is a monster of a speaker. At 400 watts, it’s ridiculously loud, with deep bass and clear vocals that can handle anything from hip-hop to rock. The light show is a fun bonus and really makes it feel like a mini concert. It’s big and heavy but the wheels and handle help a lot, and the splash resistance is reassuring for outdoor use. Battery life is about 15 hours, with the option to swap if needed.

Simply Impeccable.
What JBL has brought to the table within the range of partybox is simply phenomenon. Very study of good quality design and function. It does exactly what it's meant to do, play good quality music. What also makes it stand out from the rest party of the party box range with the removable battery. Well-done JBL! Partybox 520 is highly recommended.

JBL Partybox 520 - serious upgrade from the 320
I’ve owned the JBL 320 for a while and always thought it sounded fantastic, but the 520 really takes things up a notch. It’s a lot bigger and heavier, so you don’t really want to carry it around too much, but the sound it puts out is worth it. The bass is punchy and powerful, the mids and highs are crisp and it easily fills a room or even a garden without any effort. Plugging it into the mains makes the sound even richer, though the battery still holds up really well. The build feels solid and well put together, with a proper rugged design and a sturdy handle that makes it easier to move despite the weight. I also like being able to link it up with my 320 through the JBL app - which also give access to the EQ settings and DJ shortcuts. It’s not a cheap speaker, but once you hear it in action, the price is easy to justify. Perfect for parties!
