I'm the guy that usually skips past buying the cheap offerings of a product and goes straight to the mid-upper level. I already have JBL sound bars and home audio equipment that's magnificent so the choice was easy to go there for this type of outdoor party speaker. For the refurb/"renewed" price (& I added a 3yr warranty for cheap) it was a no brainer. I was already planning to buy it at full price but couldn't find one anywhere for quite a while, due to the chip shortage I assume.
What We Use It For
My son 11yo plays Select baseball and most teams have a big speaker for warmups/music between innings/walkup songs etc. Some speakers I've seen can get fairly loud but with distortion, lack of bass and clarity. This speaker is muuch different. In the first weekend of use (5 games) four people came up to get a look at the 310 after hearing it from afar and talk about it. I believe I sold two of these already. This thing gets LOUD and people around cannot help but get excited. Even at mid volume everyone in proximity can feel the thump. I never turned it up past 80% and not sure I will ever need to. We ended up going undefeated/winning the tournament and one of the coaches attributed the hype factor of the speaker in keeping the boys energy level up for two days in the extreme heat. After all that the battery level was still at 76%! It's next appearance will be tomorrow at a big pool party we're going to. They recently heard the 310 speaker and asked us to bring it.
Best Features
The "rolling suitcase" mobility. The two handles on the box make its hefty weight manageable for loading in/out of vehicles etc. The water resistance. The general sound presence. The deep lows, great midrange and clear treble. The app that allows you to customize everything further. The quality materials. The high end design. The feel of the cabinet and buttons. The customizable light show is amazing. My wife prefers it off but the kids and I love it.
Worst Features
I haven't come across any yet. It's of course heavy but big sound is going to be. Some people may want a standalone remote but the iOS app fills that need for me and I don't want another remote to deal with.
Conclusion
If you're on the fence, take the plunge. I did fairly extensive research and knew this speaker was very solid but it definitely WOWed me and continues to do so. I knew JBL stuff always had great bass and sound quality but was not prepared for the thunder this thing can emanate. I will continue to buy JBL products.
