What is Better for Portable Speakers: JBL or Bose?

If you're in the market for portable speakers, you might have already started doing a little research. If so, two brands have probably come up quite a bit: JBL and Bose. Although there are a variety of other brands out there that make portable speakers, these two are some of the most popular, and they're some of the most common ones that we see here at Hilltop Pawn in Virginia Beach.

Both brands have their pros and cons, so you'll want to compare different models before you make your choice. Either way, stop by Hilltop Pawn to see what we have in stock before you go out and spend too much at Best Buy or Target. We have pre-owned Bose and JBL portable speakers in great condition here, and you'll pay less than you'd pay at retail. As always, you can count on Hilltop Pawn when you're looking for the best deals around!

JBL and Bose: Two Popular Brands for Portable Speakers

Bose Corporation was founded by Amar G. Bose in the 1960s and has been a top audio equipment brand ever since. They are known for their innovation in the world of sound, including things like noise-canceling headphones. Just as they are a great choice for pretty much any other type of audio equipment, they're a popular option for portable speakers, too.

JBL was established in the 1940s by its own namesake, James B. Lansing. This is another brand well-known for their audio products -- they got their start with loudspeakers for home use, but it wasn't long before they branched out and started making other products as well, including car audio products, professional audio products, and portable speakers.

Which one should you go with? Well, that depends on your specifics needs, preferences, and budget. Bose is generally a little more expensive than JBL, so this is something you should probably keep in mind if you're on a budget...luckily, though, you can find better deals on either brand here at Hilltop Pawn.

JBL portable speakers have a bass-heavy sound that make them a popular choice for fans of hip-hop and EDM music. If these are your favorites, you'll probably find that a JBL speaker will be the hit of every party. On the other hand, if you prefer other genres, you may find that the more intuitive Bose portable speaker options will provide you with a sound more like what you're looking for.

Of course, not only should you look at different brands, but you should compare different models within each brand, too. Look at things like battery life, whether or not the speaker is waterproof and dustproof, what kind of features and settings are available, and so on.
