Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers Ranked

This page ranks 43 party size Bluetooth speakers. If you’re looking at one of these, you need very deep bass or extreme loudness and can accept a large, heavy speaker. Most are overkill for typical use, the Boombox size is better for most people. Most are at least IPX4 unless noted. All need AC to charge. The best here have bass extension similar to a 10” 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.
