Weddings can be a test on your sanity and bank account, but as a product tester, they’re also a ripe time for speaker testing. This year, I married my wife at a family home, which was the most beautiful and memorable backdrop for our wedding. However, it also meant that we didn’t have the privilege of a venue with included amenities — in other words, we had to bring everything in ourselves. That’s how, one day about two months out from the big day, I panicked, remembering we needed a speaker for the ceremony.
Like any experienced host (and product tester), we have a few Bluetooth speakers around the house, but these devices usually support our parties of 10 to 20 — not 150 people. Plus, we needed a party speaker with wireless microphone compatibility to take us from the ceremony to cocktail hour. That’s how I stumbled into the new JBL PartyBox 520.
The 520 is the brand’s newest and most expensive party speaker that’s hefty but remains wireless and portable. From our bachelorette party to our outdoor wedding, the JBL PartyBox 520 kept the good vibes going all weekend long.
The sound is crisp and booming — indoors or outside
The JBL PartyBox 520 delivered great sound in the back room of a bar or against the backdrop of my mother-in-law’s gardens.
