This page ranks 10 large party size Bluetooth speakers. These are dedicated party speakers, if you’re looking at one, you need extremely deep bass and can accept a speaker over 50 lbs / 23 kg. Most are overkill for typical use. All speakers in this class require AC power except the Sony and Teufel, which have batteries. The best here have bass extension similar to a 12” woofer tower speaker.
These are designed more for deep bass than extreme loudness. If you’re throwing parties for over 50 people, consider real PA speakers instead, see loudest speakers.
To the average listener, speakers in the top 50% of this category will likely sound great. For the critical listener, aim for the top 20%. Don’t hesitate to pick any of those if you have budget, feature, or aesthetic priorities, there are a lot of good speakers here.
See Party Size Bluetooth Speakers for smaller party speakers, or the Best Bluetooth Speakers For Sound Quality for the best in all sizes, or Top Recommended Speakers By Preference.
For longer runtime or off-grid use, check out a power station. For karaoke, check out Karaoke Setups.
