Built to resemble a PA speaker or bass amplifier, the Soundboks 3 is no joke of a Bluetooth speaker, and weighing just over 30 pounds, you’ll need a friend to help you carry this one! Pumping sound in one direction through 2 x 10-inch woofers and a 1-inch tweeter, the Soundboks 3 can get incredibly loud and sounds great even when the volume levels are maxed. If you’re having a larger party, up to 5 Soundboks speakers can be paired together, forming an extensive speaker network that’ll surely rattle some windows. Probably the most durable Bluetooth speaker we’ve ever reviewed, the 2 nd Generation Turtlebox speaker is reliable, extremely loud, and unique.

The Aiwa Exos-9 is another favorite of ours. Following a slightly more unique design that looks great on bedside tables, kitchen countertops, and home entertainment systems. Despite this speaker looking and sounding great in indoor situations, the Aiwa Exos-9 is durable enough for some outdoor usage, though it can’t be exposed to any rain or other dangerous materials. If you're shopping for a party speaker on a tighter budget, the JBL PartyBox 110 might be for you. It's a smaller and more affordable cousin to the JBL PartyBox 310, and it comes with many of the same fun features and tools to amp up the energy at your next big event. Again, you get access to the JBL PartyBox app, where you'll find customization tools to switch up the colors and patterns for the RGB lights, as well as a graphic EQ and Bass Boost preset to change up its sound. Plus, the DJ and karaoke effects let you make the most of the included microphone and guitar inputs if you want to host a sing-a-long at your next party. Party speakers have many different functions that make them a versatile choice for any party application. They have a range of inputs to connect a variety of devices, and they provide built-in controls that allow you to tailor their sound to your liking. Provided as either an all-in-one unit or a stereo pair, these party speakers are a user-friendly and powerful addition to your events.Previously, the battery life in party speakers was not great. In recent years manufacturers have made significant improvements to Lithium-ion technology resulting in incredible battery life in portable Bluetooth speakers. Speakers have limitations, and we tend to push our party speakers to the max. This can damage your speaker, which means the party is over early. Running a speaker at 80% is less likely to cause damage than running at 100% all night. If you’re having a big party, make sure you have some big speakers. Tip 3 – Waterproof Does Not Mean Invincible Adopting the classic boombox design style with a modern twist, JBL’s Boombox II Bluetooth speaker provides the thumping low-end and characteristic loudness associated with boombox speakers. The Ultimate Ears Hyperboom is rather subtle compared to most of the other Bluetooth party speakers on this list as it excludes the flashing lights, karaoke modes, and other party-focused features, but rather draws attention to its sound quality and elegant design. When we put together this list of what we consider the best party speakers currently available, we wanted to approach it a bit differently than just providing a list of products that don’t really give you much information as to which is best for you. In turn, we spent time trying to best break down these categories to make your buying process easier. Budget

As for additional features, the Ultimate Ears Hyperboom is splash-proof, and the onboard battery can provide up to 24 hours of playtime. Considering its size, the Hyperboom is reasonably lightweight and can easily be taken wherever the party takes you.We consider portability to be an important trait of a good party speaker. While some speakers on our list may not be the lightest products out there, they are still easy enough to carry between locations with relative ease. Having this versatility ensures that your party speaker can be taken to your friend’s BBQ or moved easily between different rooms of your home. Weather/Waterproof Party speakers typically come with built-in amplifiers, multiple drivers, and often feature colourful LED lights, DJ-style effects, and other fun features to enhance the party vibe. They are typically portable and may come with built-in handles or wheels for easy transportation. Many party speakers also offer wireless connectivity options, such as Bluetooth, allowing you to connect your devices wirelessly and play music from your smartphone, tablet, or other devices without the need for additional cables. The waterproof feature protects the speaker, not taking it into new frontiers. Of course, the manufacturer will use pictures of the speaker in a pool or the surf. This is to sell more products. These are for marketing purposes, not usage recommendations. Try to keep the speakers out of the pool and DEFINITELY out of the sea. Tip 4 – Make More Playlists
