JBL introduced the PartyBox Club 120, a 160 W RMS portable speaker that adds AI Sound Boost technology to reduce distortion at high volumes, a removable battery offering up to 12 hours of playtime, IPX4 splash resistance and Auracast wireless pairing.

In Brazil, portable speaker boxes have become cultural staples at parties, barbecues, sports celebrations and street festivals. The market favors devices that combine high power, durability and long battery life, a demand reflected in the popularity of models like JBL’s PartyBox line and local brands such as Aiwa.
