JBL Revolutionizes Parties with a Portable AI Karaoke Microphone

JBL Innovates with Festive Speakers and an AI Microphone

JBL, the audio giant, is expanding its PartyBox speaker lineup with two new models, the PartyBox 330 and 130, which promise to elevate your parties with enhanced sound power and spectacular lighting effects. At the same time, JBL unveils the EasySing Mic Mini, a revolutionary pocket microphone that uses artificial intelligence to turn any song into karaoke. This device allows you to remove the lead vocals from a track, putting you at the center of the stage.

The new PartyBox 330 and 130 speakers, recently introduced, represent a significant advancement in JBL's festive lineup. They stand out with improved sound, dynamic lighting effects, and optimized connectivity for portable use. The EasySing Mic Mini, on the other hand, positions itself as an innovative addition, allowing you to transform any song into karaoke support thanks to AI. This compact microphone is ideal for gatherings with friends or for creating musical content on social media.

PartyBox 330: Sound Power on Wheels

The JBL PartyBox 330 stands out as the flagship model of this new series of wireless speakers. With an impressive power of 280 watts RMS, it is equipped with two 16.5-centimeter woofers and PEN dome tweeters, a technology borrowed from JBL's professional systems. It also features AI Sound Boost and Smart EQ modes, designed to automatically adjust the sound based on the music being played.

The design of the PartyBox 330 has been carefully crafted for mobility. It sports a hexagonal shape, a curved grille, and revamped lighting effects. A central knob consolidates the main controls. To facilitate transport, it is equipped with Bluetooth 6.0, a telescopic handle, large all-terrain wheels, and an IPX4 rating to withstand splashes. Its replaceable battery offers up to 18 hours of autonomy.

JBL has retained the karaoke spirit of its lineup with two microphone inputs, a guitar input, an optical input, a lossless audio USB-C port, a 3.5 mm auxiliary input, and Auracast compatibility for connecting multiple speakers. The PartyBox 330 will be available in July for 600 euros.

PartyBox 130: Compact and Festive

The JBL PartyBox 130 carries over the features of the 330 in a more compact format, making it easier to transport. It delivers 200 watts RMS thanks to two 13.3 cm bass speakers and two 25 mm silk dome tweeters. Synchronized lighting effects, AI Sound Boost, and an equalizer are also included.

This model is designed to be even more mobile, with a foldable handle, IPX4 resistance, a replaceable battery, and a battery life of up to 15 hours. The fast charging feature allows for 80 minutes of listening in just ten minutes. The PartyBox 130 will be available this month at a price of 400 euros.

EasySing Mic Mini: AI at the Service of Karaoke

The most surprising announcement from JBL is undoubtedly the EasySing Mic Mini. This wireless pocket microphone connects to compatible JBL speakers via a USB Type-C dongle. Its main innovation lies in its ability to remove vocal tracks in real-time using artificial intelligence, with three attenuation levels to modulate the lead vocals of a song.

The microphone also offers a Voice Boost mode to help manage high notes, AI noise reduction, and settings accessible via the JBL One app. It can be used handheld, clipped to clothing, or for recording a podcast. Its battery life reaches up to 6 hours, as does that of the dongle. The EasySing Mic Mini will be available for 150 euros starting next month. However, it won't correct your off-key notes, as AI has its limits!
