Every speaker we\u2019ve chosen meets that standard.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"368\" data-end=\"814\">Some even feature a guitar input, making them suitable as busking amps during festival season. And for those who can\u2019t do without a light show, most brands (with the exception of the Mania) improve their lighting features as the speaker size increases.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"1006\">So, whatever your preferences, we\u2019re confident that one of these party speakers will earn a top spot on your list, perfect for enjoying with family and friends and creating lasting memories.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;The best party speaker 1.

Not only is the build quality second to none, but the sound also stands up to scrutiny, even for the most discerning audiophiles, offering stereo separation that few portable speakers can match.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"561\">This performance is partly thanks to Devialet\u2019s research team, who have achieved remarkable results with the larger <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/Devialet-Phantom-Ultimate-108-dB-Wireless-Speaker-Single-Light-Pearl\/7GST\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phantom model<\/a><\/strong>. By incorporating some of that same technology, along with their innovative Audio Stereo Calibration system, the Mania delivers outstanding capability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"802\">Like most of the speakers in this line-up, the Mania is IPX4 certified &#8211; something that might come as a surprise given its distinctive design. It&#8217;s resistant to light water exposure, so it&#8217;s great for using outdoors, and, still, it feels premium, with a carry handle partially inspired by a watch strap.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"804\" data-end=\"1178\">All the main controls are discreetly placed on either side of the handle. If you&#8217;re more technically inclined, Devialet also provide a smart app which, once both the speaker and your device are connected to your home Wi-Fi, allows for simple yet powerful adjustments. These settings are saved, meaning the sound profile remains tailored no matter where you take the speaker.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1180\" data-end=\"1473\">However, what we really love about this speaker is its 360-degree stereo sound. It&#8217;s also able to adapt its sound to your environment, with four room-calibrating microphones that use intelligence programming to map the surroundings. The tech is pretty impressive. Sitting in front of it allows you to experience stereo imaging from a single point, with remarkable clarity and bass depth that defies the speaker\u2019s compact size.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/Devialet-Mania-Portable-Wireless-Speaker-Light-Grey\/5HEO&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;FIND OUT MORE&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;3.

And if you have another JBL speaker with PartyBoost, you can pair the two to ramp up the party atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"635\">With Bluetooth 5.3, the Boombox 3 allows connection of up to nine Bluetooth devices, more than you will probably ever need. Its IP67 certification means it\u2019s well protected from both dust and water. Those wanting to connect a peripheral device via the 3.5mm jack will find the input discreetly tucked away at the rear.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"889\">Controls are placed conveniently on top of the Boombox 3, including Bluetooth pairing, volume, playback, and PartyBoost pairing &#8211; all just a tap away. An LED battery indicator sits at the base, and for more advanced settings, the JBL app has you covered.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1053\">If your phone needs a quick top-up to keep the party going, the USB-A charging port &#8211; located behind the same flap as the 3.5mm jack and mains input &#8211; has you sorted.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1354\">In terms of sound, the Boombox 3 is one of JBL\u2019s best portable speakers. It&#8217;s packed with energy, and when the dual side ABRs (auxiliary bass radiators) kick in, they deliver a hypnotic rhythm that drives the subwoofers with a sense of pace and airflow that really elevates the listening experience.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/JBL-Boombox-3-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker-Black\/5AK6&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;FIND OUT MORE&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;4.

It&#8217;s another masterclass in Bluetooth speaker design, offering a more expansive and detailed soundstage that addresses some of its sibling\u2019s limitations, making it another strong all-around choice among the best party speakers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"395\" data-end=\"636\">Like the JBL PartyBox Club 120, the Stage 320 is IPX4 rated. It also includes JBL app integration, wireless connectivity, and customisable DJ buttons on the main panel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"898\">However, the PartyBox Stage 320 goes a step further by offering onboard controls for karaoke use, including echo, bass, treble, and volume, separate from the main audio playback settings. This gives you an unprecedented level of control for a Bluetooth speaker.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1148\">The physical DJ buttons can be swapped with options in the app, allowing you to personalise the interface. Thanks to multi-device connectivity, friends can easily switch between devices &#8211; ideal for a DJ-off or collaborative playlist during the party.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1150\" data-end=\"1391\">And with dual power options, you can run the PartyBox Stage 320 from the mains or wirelessly.

It\u2019s perfect for streaming playlists or hosting karaoke sessions, whether you&#8217;re using a single mic via the 6.35mm input or dual wireless mics connected through the USB-A dongle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"999\">Controls are simple and intuitive. Five multicoloured light show modes and Bluetooth connectivity are easily accessed via the top panel. Meanwhile, a rear control panel allows you to adjust mic echo and overall volume levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1224\">Fittingly, its name comes from its RMS output &#8211; 160 watts &#8211; delivered via a twin tweeter and dual subwoofer driver array.

You&#8217;ll also find the usual connectivity options: USB-A, a 3.5mm input at the rear, and both 6.35mm mic and guitar inputs, making it a strong choice for karaoke or even busking.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"950\">Bluetooth 5.0 comes as standard, and if you want stereo sound, you can connect two BMAX units using a 3.5mm jack output-to-input cable. From there, simply press the \u201cSpeaker Mode\u201d button on the top panel to assign left and right channels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1305\">True to Panasonic form, there are no compromises on sound quality. A 140mm bass driver, twin 57mm tweeters, and three onboard amplifiers deliver a combined 75 watts of power. At full output, you can expect around nine hours of playtime.

Its sheer size makes a commanding presence, and its LED light show is widely regarded as the <em data-start=\"284\" data-end=\"305\">pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/em> of JBL\u2019s visual features, with enough lighting to rival that of a nightclub.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"384\" data-end=\"604\">Sound is another area where the Ultimate stands apart. It\u2019s the only mains-powered PartyBox speaker to feature two mid-range drivers, adding an extra layer of depth and clarity that elevates the overall audio experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"844\">With a total power output of 1100 watts, it has more than enough volume to shake the room. Even at around 65% volume, it delivers all the sound most partygoers will ever need, making it ideal for outdoor use where mains power is available.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"1088\">Connectivity is in line with the rest of the PartyBox range, including 6.35mm mic and guitar inputs, a USB-A port, and a 3.5mm analogue input. However, the PartyBox Ultimate also adds Wi-Fi support, enabling AirPlay 2 and Chromecast playback.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1365\">As the top-tier model in JBL\u2019s PartyBox range, it rightly earns its place in our list of the best party speakers. While it\u2019s the only non-portable option featured here, no other speaker in this line-up delivers the same scale of party atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/JBL-PartyBox-Ultimate-Wi-Fi-and-Bluetooth-Party-Speaker\/6FRO&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;FIND OUT MORE&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;9.

It brings together everything people love about the newer PartyBox 120 and 320 models, but in a more compact form. Simple yet essential controls &#8211; like echo and volume &#8211; are easily accessible on the top panel, while the lighting effects, just like its larger siblings, can be controlled via the unit itself or through the JBL app.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"672\">Unlike its bigger brothers, however, the Encore 2 includes a dedicated microphone with a convenient holder on the back. And yes, additional mics can be purchased &#8211; ideal for those duet moments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"917\">If you\u2019ve picked up a spare JBL Battery 200, you\u2019ll find an easy-access compartment that lets you swap it out for up to seven hours of use with all features running. Follow JBL\u2019s recommended settings, and you can expect up to 15 hours of playback.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"1153\">At the time of writing, this is also the only JBL PartyBox to feature USB-C. While it loses the ability to play music from a USB stick, it gains faster charging for modern devices, ensuring your phone or tablet keeps up with the party.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1369\">Overall, for anyone eyeing one of the larger JBL PartyBox speakers but limited by storage space, the Encore 2 is an excellent choice. Compact yet powerful, it&#8217;s a real winner in our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/JBL-PartyBox-Encore-2-Compact-Portable-Party-Speaker-with-Mic-and-Auracast\/75BA&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;FIND OUT MORE&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;How to choose the best speaker for your party&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_choose_the_best_speaker_for_your_party\"><\/span>How to choose the best speaker for your party<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you need a portable speaker that will fit into a suitcase or bag, the JBL Boombox 3 and Devialet Mania are your best options.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond size and travel, you should also consider where you&#8217;ll be using the speaker.

Every speaker we\u2019ve chosen meets that standard.<\/p><p data-start=\"368\" data-end=\"814\">Some even feature a guitar input, making them suitable as busking amps during festival season. And for those who can\u2019t do without a light show, most brands (with the exception of the Mania) improve their lighting features as the speaker size increases.<\/p><p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"1006\">So, whatever your preferences, we\u2019re confident that one of these party speakers will earn a top spot on your list, perfect for enjoying with family and friends and creating lasting memories.<\/p><hr \/><h3>The best party speaker<\/h3><h4>1.

The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/JBL-PartyBox-Club-120-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker\/6FRU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JBL PartyBox Club 120 portable Bluetooth speaker<\/a><\/strong> is our top pick for anyone who wishes to create the perfect party atmosphere.<\/p><p data-start=\"90\" data-end=\"317\">To start with, it\u2019s loud, delivers plenty of bass in large outdoor spaces, and features LED lighting alongside DJ-style buttons that let you mimic a professional setup. There\u2019s even more functionality available via the JBL app.<\/p><p data-start=\"319\" data-end=\"510\">Its Bluetooth connectivity allows multiple users to play tracks from different devices without the usual hassle of disconnecting and re-pairing, helping to create a seamless party atmosphere.<\/p><p data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"740\">If you\u2019re planning to own this powerhouse, it\u2019s worth considering the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Accessories\/JBL-Battery-200-2-Cell-Battery-for-PartyBox-Club-120\/759J\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JBL 200 replacement battery<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s easy to swap and effectively doubles your playtime within seconds - ideal for keeping the music loud and the light show going.<\/p><p data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"931\">You can also use the PartyBox Club 120 as a guitar amp or a karaoke hub. With dual mic inputs and app-based mic calibration, it helps any budding performer sound like the life of the party.<\/p><p data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"1255\">Whether you\u2019re drawn to the JBL PartyBox Club speaker for its portability- thanks to its ergonomic carry handle and solid battery life - or you're using it plugged into the mains, the JBL PartyBox Club 120 portable Bluetooth speaker truly has it all, reinforcing its reputation as one of the best party speakers in the world.<\/p><hr \/><h4>2. Devialet Mania Portable Wireless Speaker<\/h4><p><strong><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-19710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Devialet-Mania-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Key features<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>IPX4-rated<\/li><li>10-hour battery life<\/li><li>360-degree stereo sound dispersion<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Wifi and Bluetooth ready<\/li><li>Smaller than expected means it\u2019ll fit nicely anywhere<\/li><li>Stereo playback ensures an immersive sound<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>It's hard to find a fault in a portable speaker of this level, but the price might put some people off<\/li><\/ul><p>Size isn\u2019t everything if you\u2019re after quality audio, and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/Devialet-Mania-Portable-Wireless-Speaker-Light-Grey\/5HEO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Devialet Mania portable speaker<\/a><\/strong> proves this. Not only is the build quality second to none, but the sound also stands up to scrutiny, even for the most discerning audiophiles, offering stereo separation that few portable speakers can match.<\/p><p data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"561\">This performance is partly thanks to Devialet\u2019s research team, who have achieved remarkable results with the larger <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/Devialet-Phantom-I-108dB-Wireless-Speaker-Single-Gold\/5HFK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phantom model<\/a><\/strong>. By incorporating some of that same technology, along with their innovative Audio Stereo Calibration system, the Mania delivers outstanding capability.<\/p><p data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"802\">Like most of the speakers in this line-up, the Mania is IPX4 certified - something that might come as a surprise given its distinctive design. It's resistant to light water exposure, so it's great for using outdoors, and, still, it feels premium, with a carry handle partially inspired by a watch strap.<\/p><p data-start=\"804\" data-end=\"1178\">All the main controls are discreetly placed on either side of the handle. If you're more technically inclined, Devialet also provide a smart app which, once both the speaker and your device are connected to your home Wi-Fi, allows for simple yet powerful adjustments. These settings are saved, meaning the sound profile remains tailored no matter where you take the speaker.<\/p><p data-start=\"1180\" data-end=\"1473\">However, what we really love about this speaker is its 360-degree stereo sound. It's also able to adapt its sound to your environment, with four room-calibrating microphones that use intelligence programming to map the surroundings. The tech is pretty impressive. Sitting in front of it allows you to experience stereo imaging from a single point, with remarkable clarity and bass depth that defies the speaker\u2019s compact size.<\/p><hr \/><h4>3. JBL Boombox 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker<\/h4><p><strong><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-36325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JBL-Boombox-3-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker-Black-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"JBL Boombox 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Black\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Key features<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Wireless Bluetooth streaming<\/li><li>JBL Pro Sound<\/li><li>24-hour playback<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Includes midrange drivers for a cleaner musical signature<\/li><li>LED lightshow takes it a step further<\/li><li>The only product to include IP67 in this list<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Quite a heavy speaker<\/li><\/ul><p>Being a true three-way portable speaker, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/JBL-Boombox-3-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker-Black\/5AK6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JBL Boombox 3<\/a><\/strong> includes the mid-range, subwoofer and tweeters all powered by different amplifiers for the best sound and battery preservation.<\/p><p data-start=\"87\" data-end=\"318\">An amazing 24 hours of playback from just six hours of charging makes it ideal for a full day out at the beach or park. And if you have another JBL speaker with PartyBoost, you can pair the two to ramp up the party atmosphere.<\/p><p data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"635\">With Bluetooth 5.3, the Boombox 3 allows connection of up to nine Bluetooth devices, more than you will probably ever need. Its IP67 certification means it\u2019s well protected from both dust and water. Those wanting to connect a peripheral device via the 3.5mm jack will find the input discreetly tucked away at the rear.<\/p><p data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"889\">Controls are placed conveniently on top of the Boombox 3, including Bluetooth pairing, volume, playback, and PartyBoost pairing - all just a tap away. An LED battery indicator sits at the base, and for more advanced settings, the JBL app has you covered.<\/p><p data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1053\">If your phone needs a quick top-up to keep the party going, the USB-A charging port - located behind the same flap as the 3.5mm jack and mains input - has you sorted.<\/p><p data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1354\">In terms of sound, the Boombox 3 is one of JBL\u2019s best portable speakers. It's packed with energy, and when the dual side ABRs (auxiliary bass radiators) kick in, they deliver a hypnotic rhythm that drives the subwoofers with a sense of pace and airflow that really elevates the listening experience.<\/p><hr \/><h4>4. JBL PartyBox Stage 320 Portable Bluetooth Speaker<\/h4><p><strong><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-36326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JBL-PartyBox-Stage-320-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"JBL PartyBox Stage 320 Portable Bluetooth Speaker\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Key features<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Strobe lightshow effects<\/li><li>Up to 18 hours of playback<\/li><li>IPX4 splash proof<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Huge soundstage with low pumping bass<\/li><li>Crisp, clear high-end detail<\/li><li>Easy to move around with the handle and wheels<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Portable in the broadest sense, as this is a big party speaker<\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"63\" data-end=\"393\">If you're after a larger version of the Boombox 3, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/JBL-PartyBox-Stage-320-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker\/6FRV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JBL PartyBox Stage 320<\/a><\/strong> is the one for you. It's another masterclass in Bluetooth speaker design, offering a more expansive and detailed soundstage that addresses some of its sibling\u2019s limitations, making it another strong all-around choice among the best party speakers.<\/p><p data-start=\"395\" data-end=\"636\">Like the JBL PartyBox Club 120, the Stage 320 is IPX4 rated. It also includes JBL app integration, wireless connectivity, and customisable DJ buttons on the main panel.<\/p><p data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"898\">However, the PartyBox Stage 320 goes a step further by offering onboard controls for karaoke use, including echo, bass, treble, and volume, separate from the main audio playback settings. This gives you an unprecedented level of control for a Bluetooth speaker.<\/p><p data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1148\">The physical DJ buttons can be swapped with options in the app, allowing you to personalise the interface. Thanks to multi-device connectivity, friends can easily switch between devices - ideal for a DJ-off or collaborative playlist during the party.<\/p><p data-start=\"1150\" data-end=\"1391\">And with dual power options, you can run the PartyBox Stage 320 from the mains or wirelessly. It offers long playback time, and if you\u2019ve got an additional <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Accessories\/JBL-Battery-400-4-Cell-Battery-for-PartyBox-Stage-320-and-Xtreme4\/759K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JBL Battery 400<\/a><\/strong>, it\u2019s quick to swap in, keeping the party going without interruption.<\/p><hr \/><h4>5.

It\u2019s perfect for streaming playlists or hosting karaoke sessions, whether you're using a single mic via the 6.35mm input or dual wireless mics connected through the USB-A dongle.<\/p><p data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"999\">Controls are simple and intuitive. Five multicoloured light show modes and Bluetooth connectivity are easily accessed via the top panel. Meanwhile, a rear control panel allows you to adjust mic echo and overall volume levels.<\/p><p data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1224\">Fittingly, its name comes from its RMS output - 160 watts - delivered via a twin tweeter and dual subwoofer driver array. And when paired using TWS, it offers true stereo sound at a fraction of the price of its JBL competitors.<\/p><hr \/><h4>6.

It includes 12 light show effects controlled via a large dial, plus a strobe effect. A large display panel also sets it apart from most other party speakers.<\/p><p data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"950\">Another useful feature is the optical input. You'll also find the usual connectivity options: USB-A, a 3.5mm input at the rear, and both 6.35mm mic and guitar inputs, making it a strong choice for karaoke or even busking.<\/p><p data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"950\">Bluetooth 5.0 comes as standard, and if you want stereo sound, you can connect two BMAX units using a 3.5mm jack output-to-input cable. From there, simply press the \u201cSpeaker Mode\u201d button on the top panel to assign left and right channels.<\/p><p data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1305\">True to Panasonic form, there are no compromises on sound quality. A 140mm bass driver, twin 57mm tweeters, and three onboard amplifiers deliver a combined 75 watts of power. At full output, you can expect around nine hours of playtime. Follow Panasonic\u2019s usage recommendations, and you\u2019ll get up to 15 hours on a single charge - ideal for longer gatherings.<\/p><hr \/><h4>7.

These include FM radio, microSD support, and True Wireless Stereo (TWS). It can even double as a hands-free Bluetooth speaker.<\/p><p data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"883\">Like many Bluetooth party speakers, the QTX includes a dual LED light show with seven selectable modes that pulse along with your music. And yes, you can turn the lights off to conserve battery life. It uses dual amplifiers to produce 18 watts of power, with twin 52mm drivers that deliver a surprisingly full MP3 listening experience.<\/p><p data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"1128\">Pairing a second PartyPod using TWS allows you to create a stereo setup that functions not just as a portable music hub or micro FM stereo, but even as a compact soundbar alternative, particularly if your TV supports Bluetooth headphone output.<\/p><p data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1372\">Even though it's a true budget option, QTX have still included IPX4 splash protection. Really, what more could you ask from something that costs less than a decent meal out? That\u2019s why it earns its place in this line-up of party speakers.<\/p><hr \/><h4>8.

It\u2019s the only mains-powered PartyBox speaker to feature two mid-range drivers, adding an extra layer of depth and clarity that elevates the overall audio experience.<\/p><p data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"844\">With a total power output of 1100 watts, it has more than enough volume to shake the room. Even at around 65% volume, it delivers all the sound most partygoers will ever need, making it ideal for outdoor use where mains power is available.<\/p><p data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"1088\">Connectivity is in line with the rest of the PartyBox range, including 6.35mm mic and guitar inputs, a USB-A port, and a 3.5mm analogue input. However, the PartyBox Ultimate also adds Wi-Fi support, enabling AirPlay 2 and Chromecast playback.<\/p><p data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1365\">As the top-tier model in JBL\u2019s PartyBox range, it rightly earns its place in our list of the best party speakers.

It brings together everything people love about the newer PartyBox 120 and 320 models, but in a more compact form. Simple yet essential controls - like echo and volume - are easily accessible on the top panel, while the lighting effects, just like its larger siblings, can be controlled via the unit itself or through the JBL app.<\/p><p data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"672\">Unlike its bigger brothers, however, the Encore 2 includes a dedicated microphone with a convenient holder on the back. And yes, additional mics can be purchased - ideal for those duet moments.<\/p><p data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"917\">If you\u2019ve picked up a spare JBL Battery 200, you\u2019ll find an easy-access compartment that lets you swap it out for up to seven hours of use with all features running. Follow JBL\u2019s recommended settings, and you can expect up to 15 hours of playback.<\/p><p data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"1153\">At the time of writing, this is also the only JBL PartyBox to feature USB-C. While it loses the ability to play music from a USB stick, it gains faster charging for modern devices, ensuring your phone or tablet keeps up with the party.<\/p><p data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1369\">Overall, for anyone eyeing one of the larger JBL PartyBox speakers but limited by storage space, the Encore 2 is an excellent choice. Compact yet powerful, it's a real winner in our eyes.<\/p><hr \/><h3>How to choose the best speaker for your party<\/h3><p>If you need a portable speaker that will fit into a suitcase or bag, the QTX PartyPod, JBL Boombox 3, and Devialet Mania are your best options.<\/p><p>Beyond size and travel, you should also consider where you'll be using the speaker. If it's for outdoor use, you'll need something with a suitable IP rating to ensure it's protected in all weathers, and a good enough battery life if you won't be connecting to mains power.\u00a0This narrows your choices down to JBL PartyBox speakers such as the Club 120, Stage 320, and Encore 2.<\/p><p>Of course, sound quality and dynamics are huge factors. For room-filling sound, look for 360-degree dispersion like that provided by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/Devialet-Mania-Portable-Wireless-Speaker-Light-Grey\/5HEO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Devialet Mania portable speaker<\/a><\/strong>. When it comes to loudness, remember you'll want the audio to remain clear and detailed, not distorted, when the volume is turned up.<\/p><p>You'll also want something that's easy to control. Luckily, all of the speakers on this list can be conveniently managed via their smartphone apps, but if you want physical controls, the Panasonic BMAX is your best bet, with a built-in display that makes it one of the easiest to use.<\/p><hr \/><h3>FAQs<\/h3><h4>What\u2019s the best party speaker brand?<\/h4><p>The best speaker brand is subjective, but we'd have to say JBL.
