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 mains PA speakers instead. If you need XLR inputs, a live microphone path, or a compact mixer while staying off-grid, browse battery-powered PA speakers and compare them with party speakers in the party speaker vs. battery-powered PA guide.
For a quick party speaker price comparison, open Compare & sort specs below to sort all 43 by price, battery life, water resistance or measured bass extension, or pick two or three to compare side by side.
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.

#1 Sony ULT Tower 7: $649.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A compelling large-party value at $650: 420W output, an IPX4-rated 30-hour battery, 360-degree sound, wheels and four carry handles at 22.8kg. The full review praises its punchy, clean ULT1 bass, ULT2’s higher-output mode, simplified controls and unusually complete I/O: USB-C, USB-A, RCA, balanced XLR and mic input.
Cons: The reviewer notes that Auracast pairing is not backward-compatible with Sony’s older Party Connect speakers, and the hard-plastic corners lack protective rubber bumpers. IPX4 is splash resistance rather than full weatherproofing; the 30-hour claim requires lights off.

#2 JBL Partybox 330: $549.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay
Older models: the JBL Partybox Stage 320 (ranked lower, rated 4.6/5), the JBL Partybox 310 (ranked lower, rated 4.5/5) and the JBL Partybox 300 (ranked lower, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: A highly complete rolling party speaker: removable battery, telescoping handle and wheels, light show, Auracast, USB-C lossless and optical inputs, plus dual mic/guitar inputs. It supplies a little more power than the JBL Partybox 310 and JBL Partybox Stage 320, while reviewers report better midrange clarity than the older JBL Partybox 310 and the same deep party-speaker bass.
Cons: It remains very large and heavy, and the sound improvement over the JBL Partybox Stage 320 is modest rather than transformational. JBL removed the dedicated mic gain/control knobs found on earlier models, a real drawback for frequent karaoke use. Do not upgrade from a JBL Partybox 310 or JBL Partybox Stage 320 just for the higher watt figure.

#3 JBL Partybox Stage 320: $499.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay
Newer model: the JBL Partybox 330, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5.
Pros: Among the best-sounding party speakers in its size class, and it keeps more bass than the JBL Partybox 310 at high volume. Two 6.5-inch woofers and two tweeters run on 240W, with a removable battery rated for 18 hours, a 5-band app EQ, mic and guitar inputs and Auracast linking. A handle and wheels make the 16.5 kg cabinet easy to move, and the color lighting modes are customizable.
Cons: Slightly sibilant in the treble at full blast. Very large.

#4 JBL Partybox 310: $449.95 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Newer model: the JBL Partybox 330, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5.
Pros: Absolute deepest bass of any battery powered speaker, most balanced sound in the class, handle and wheels are convenient. Increase treble one step in the app EQ to make it more neutral. Customizable color lighting modes. Very close to the JBL Partybox Stage 320 in terms of performance. Measured bass extension of 32Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Very large. Discontinued.

#5 Sony ULT Tower 5: $448.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: At $448, its 300W system with a 9-inch woofer delivers a notably capable party-speaker package: a removable 20-hour battery, IPX4 splash resistance, 10-band EQ and ULT1/ULT2 modes. AudioTribe’s first impressions praise its deeper bass and clearer sound than the JBL PartyBox Club 120; it also has USB-C and USB-A, RCA, balanced XLR and mic inputs for DJ and karaoke use.
Cons: It has a shorter 20-hour battery claim than the Tower 7’s 30 hours, no wheels, and only IPX4 splash resistance. Its single-woofer, two-tweeter layout lacks the Tower 7’s 360-degree rear-driver array, and the reviewer describes the sound assessment as first impressions rather than a controlled measurement comparison.

#6 JBL Partybox Club 120: $349.95 Amazon eBay
Older models: the JBL Partybox 110 (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5) and the JBL Partybox 100 (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5).
Pros: JBL Partybox Club 120 uses 2x 5.25” woofers, 2x 2.25” tweeters. Its 10.8 kg, claimed 12 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IPX4 protection, aux input and limited-stereo playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. Handle and wheels, customizable lighting, and quite neutral sound with deeper bass than the Partybox 100 and 110.
Cons: Its 40Hz to 20kHz (Manufacturer specified) specification points to limited deep-bass reach for the cabinet size. High price, and JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.

#7 JBL Partybox 130: $449.95 Amazon eBay
Pros: A relatively manageable 11.3kg PartyBox with removable battery, foldable handle, light show, USB audio and modern JBL connectivity. Independent reviews describe it as unusually balanced and powerful for its format, while owner feedback praises clear voices and deep bass.
Cons: It is still bass-forward and less clear than the PartyBox 120 in direct comparisons. The smaller battery and stripped-back controls/features make it a questionable upgrade when the 120 is similarly priced. JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.

#8 JBL Partybox 100: $499.99 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Newer model: the JBL Partybox Club 120, ranked higher, rated 4.5/5.
Pros: Quite neutral sound, pretty deep bass. Measured bass extension of 41Hz (-10dB).
Cons: A slight peak in the upper mids. Slight TWS issue where the 2nd is slightly delayed. Just as loud and slightly deeper bass than a Stormbox Blast which is way smaller with better sound quality. Discontinued.

#9 JBL Partybox 110: $299.95 Amazon eBay
Newer model: the JBL Partybox Club 120, ranked higher, rated 4.5/5.
Pros: Very neutral sound, slightly better than the Partybox 100. Measured bass extension of 41Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Bass isn’t as deep as the Partybox 100. Just as loud and slightly deeper than a Stormbox Blast which is way smaller with better sound. Increase treble one step in the app to make it more neutral.

#10 JBL Partybox 300: $300 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the JBL Partybox 330, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5.
Pros: Exceptional sound quality with crisp, crystal clear highs and midranges, hard punchy bass without muddiness. 2x 6.5” woofers + 3x 2.25” tweeters, bass boost function, 45Hz-20kHz frequency range. 18-hour battery with 10400mAh capacity. Multiple inputs (RCA, USB, 3.5mm aux, mic, guitar). LED light modes (meter/pulse/party). True Wireless Stereo pairing up to 2 units. Measured bass extension of 40Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Hard to carry, too tall, drags on the ground. Max spl and bass extension are only as good as the Partybox 100. No real reason to ever get one, get a Partybox 100 instead. Discontinued.

#11 Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker: $249.00 Walmart eBay
Pros: A compelling all-in-one party and karaoke package: dual 8-inch woofers, 240W claimed output, two included wireless microphones, dual mic/guitar inputs, karaoke effects and USB-A phone charging. It plays loudly enough for backyard use and has punchy bass; owners especially like the wheels, telescoping handle and colorful light effects. At 44 lb it is still a substantial cabinet, but the trolley design makes moving it far easier than carrying it.
Cons: Sound favors punch and a forward/bright top end over refinement. Independent comparisons and owner reports find the bass less deep and the overall balance less satisfying than the JBL PartyBox 320; several consider the far-cheaper Onn Large Party gen 2 the better sound-per-dollar buy. Some owners report distortion or static at high volume, and a few report wireless-mic pairing/dropout problems. Large (30 inches tall, 44 lb) and only IPX4 splash-resistant, not a speaker to leave out in rain.

#12 Zealot PT21: $216.73 AliExpress eBay
Pros: Dual 166mm woofers and 200W output in a lighter, more compact body than the ZE41, with a bundled wireless microphone and echo effect built in for karaoke. Quite deep bass for the price, even deeper than the JBL Boombox 4 in direct comparisons.
Cons: Unlike some other Zealot models, app-based EQ customization doesn’t appear to be fully supported yet, and IPX5 means it can handle splashes but not submersion.

#13 Sony SRS-XP700: $448.00 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: Dual 6.69” woofers, multi-tweeter X-Balanced Speaker Units with rear tweeter for 360 effect. Exceptional 25-hour battery (18-22 hours real-world with LEDs). IPX4 splash-resistant. MEGA BASS for deep punchy sound. Karaoke (mic + guitar inputs), LED lights with stroboscopic effect. Sony Music App integration for microphone control and advanced settings. Measured bass extension of 50Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Weird midrange peak. Slightly less loud than a Partybox 310. Bass not as deep as a Partybox 310/300/110/100. Discontinued.

Party Connect feature links multiple compatible Sony speakers. USB charging port for device charging on-the-go. Built-in handle and IPX4 water resistance. Microphone input and karaoke support.

#15 Sony SRS-XV500: $351.10 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Sony SRS-XP500 (ranked higher, rated 4/5).
Pros: RTINGS measured a slightly warm sound with plenty of bass punch, and found it gets very loud for outdoor parties. Two 140mm woofers and two 60mm tweeters in a bass reflex cabinet, with a claimed 25 hours of battery life and a 10 minute quick charge for about 2.5 hours of play. Two 6.3mm inputs switch between microphone and guitar, with karaoke controls for key, echo and per-input volume, plus a 3.5mm aux input. IPX4 splash resistance and built-in lighting.
Cons: RTINGS measured poor directivity, so the sound changes noticeably as you move off to the sides. Bass compresses and pumps as you approach maximum volume. At 11.2 kg it is heavy to carry, and IPX4 only covers splashes.

#16 Onn Large Party gen 2: $129 Walmart eBay
Older model: the Onn Large Party gen 1 (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5).
Pros: A remarkably full-featured, manageable 9.5kg party speaker: wheels and handle, FM radio, aux, USB-A charging, mic and guitar inputs with karaoke echo, and Party Sync. Independent testing confirms bass with real impact and enough output for a large room; it is a clear improvement over the Gen 1 for low-end weight.
Cons: The low price shows in the refinement. Consumer Reports found boomy bass, hazy/grainy mids, a prominent smeared treble and a narrow, two-dimensional soundfield; it also notes distortion or other audio issues. There is no app or EQ to tame the tuning, and IPX4 only covers splashes rather than rain or immersion.

#17 Tronsmart Halo 300 eBay
Pros: A 240W party speaker with a 2.2 channel three-way layout (dual woofers, mid-tweeters and tweeters) angled for a 270° soundstage. Side by side with the W-King T12 it sounded cleaner and more accurate, with instruments and vocals easier to pick out and good kick bass, and listeners report no distortion at any volume. Wheels and a handle, mic, guitar and XLR inputs, lights and a claimed 20 hours of battery.
Cons: The W-King T12 reaches deeper with thicker bass. On battery the Halo’s bass holds back from what its woofers could do, though plugged into AC power it gains noticeably more. It is currently out of stock at Tronsmart in the US.

#19 Soundcore Rave 3: $349.99 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Soundcore Rave 3S, ranked higher, rated 3.8/5.
Pros: 2 AA battery Wireless Microphones and remote control included. AI voice removal feature for Karaoke. TWS pairing lets you link a second Rave 3 for true stereo sound.
Cons: Some upper bass and upper mids boost. Not as deep of bass as a Partybox 110/120. Discontinued and superseded by the Soundcore Rave 3S, which offers more power (200W vs 160W) in the same footprint.

#20 W-King T12: $379.04 Amazon AliExpress eBay
Pros: A large, capable karaoke-party package with dual 8-inch woofers, independent bass and treble controls, mic and guitar inputs with echo, USB and microSD playback, USB-A charging and TWS pairing. Its claimed 25-hour battery and trolley-style form make it practical where high output matters more than compact size.
Cons: Reviewer comparisons find the tuning boxy and less clear than the better-ranked party speakers, so its size and quoted power do not automatically translate to refined sound. It is a 15kg, 75cm-tall speaker with no water rating and no app; the physical tone controls are its only meaningful way to adjust the sound.

#21 LG XL7: $496.19 Discontinued eBay
Pros: LG XL7 uses 8” woofer, 2x 2.5” tweeters. Its 15.5 kg, claimed 20 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IPX4 protection, aux input and stereo playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. Wheels, a handle and customizable lighting.
Cons: Careful placement and volume setting remain important for balanced sound. Discontinued.

#22 Klipsch Gig XXL: $79.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A straightforward 8.2kg party speaker with a large 8-inch woofer, horn tweeter, aux and USB playback, guitar and microphone inputs, karaoke reverb, TWS pairing and a USB-A power bank. Independent testing confirms that it gets remarkably loud and gives EDM and hip-hop a lively, bass-forward character. Really good value for the money.
Cons: Bass is more warm than deep and can become muddy at high volume. There is no app or proper EQ beyond a Bass button, no water rating, and the claimed eight-hour battery life is short for an outdoor party speaker. It is a fun, simple option, but not the cleanest or most flexible choice.

#23 Marshall Bromley 450: $649.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A balanced, warm sound with a flat midrange that keeps vocals and instruments clear, plenty of bass rumble and enough treble for energetic vocals, per RTINGS’ lab tests. Drivers on all four sides keep the tonal balance nearly the same from any angle, and M1M Tech Channel found it more open and airy than the Soundboks Mix and Teufel Rockster Air 2, with deeper bass than both. RTINGS measured 18.8 hours of battery from a swappable LiFePO4 pack shared with the Bromley 750, and it adds IP55 protection, two XLR/6.35mm combo inputs, USB-C audio, Auracast and physical bass and treble knobs.
Cons: It is the quietest of its rivals: both the Soundboks Mix and Teufel Rockster Air 2 play louder, and near max volume the bass recedes and the sound gets less composed. The warm tuning lacks some fine treble detail. There is no graphic EQ, only bass and treble knobs, and its stereo spreads left and right channels around the cabinet, so panned elements can land on the wrong side. At 12.3 kg it has a carry handle but no wheels.

#24 Samsung MX-ST50B: $300 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: A 240W sound tower with two 6.5-inch woofers and two tweeters, IPX5 protection, app EQ, aux and USB playback, karaoke input and Samsung Group Play for linking up to 10 speakers. Hands-on reviews find it capable of clear, punchy sound and impressive output for indoor parties, while its 18-hour claimed battery supports more casual use away from mains power.
Cons: Output drops sharply to 90W on battery, so it needs mains power for its full impact. Bass is not as deep as stronger dedicated party speakers, and at 11.9kg its tall enclosure is less convenient to carry. It lacks TWS stereo pairing, so the Group Play feature favors shared party coverage rather than a conventional stereo image. Discontinued.

#26 Soundboks Rider: $599.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: At 6.5 kg it is the lightest Soundboks yet, with a carry handle, IP66 dust and water protection, and the same swappable 100Wh battery as the Mix and Soundboks 4, rated for 35 hours at mid volume and 8 hours at maximum. Xander’s measurements found its flat profile genuinely flat, with distortion around 0.2 percent at moderate volume and below 2 percent from 500 Hz to 10 kHz even at full output, and the Indoor profile reaching down to 40 Hz at moderate volume. Both Xander and M1M Tech Channel preferred its punchy, controlled kick bass to the larger Soundboks Mix, and the app adds a six-band EQ with saveable presets.
Cons: Its sealed 8in woofer runs out of real bass at high volume: Xander measured the -6 dB point rising to roughly 75 to 85 Hz at maximum, with 40 Hz some 20 dB down, and M1M heard the bass pulled back toward the upper bass above mid volume. It measured 107 dB(C) outdoors for Xander and 113.2 dB(C) for M1M, about 3 dB below the Soundboks Mix and well short of the claimed 118 dB. There is no TeamUp, so it cannot link with other Soundboks speakers, the strap and charger are sold separately, and Xander found the grille causes dispersion artifacts around 5 kHz and judged the price too high for what it delivers.

Pros: Strong audio performance with 2x 4.5” woofers, 2x 1” tweeters, 2x passive radiators. Up to 24 hours battery at 50% volume (3 hours at max). Adaptive bass compensation for wall-reflective environments. Dual Bluetooth pairing, aux and optical inputs, USB-out for device charging. IPX4 splash-proof. Sliding rubber handle and compact square design. Measured bass extension of 55Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Very expensive for what it does, a bit dull and muddy sound. Not as loud as others in the class. Bass not as deep as a Partybox 100. External power brick for charging.

#28 Soundboks Mix: $799 Soundboks Amazon eBay
Older model: the Soundboks Go (ranked lower, rated 3.1/5).
Pros: USB-C fast charging (65W) for the swappable battery, up to 40 hours of battery life at mid-volume, IP65 dust/water resistance, and TeamUp linking with up to 5 other SKAA-equipped Soundboks speakers. High efficiency drivers reach 2-3x the volume of typical speakers for the same wattage.
Cons: Doesn’t have as deep of bass as higher-ranked speakers, and can sound somewhat bright in the treble. Only 72W of output and a single 10-inch woofer, less powerful than the Soundboks Go or Soundboks 4, and no microphone input for karaoke like the Pro Panel models.

#29 Soundboks Go: $799 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Soundboks Mix, ranked higher, rated 3.2/5.
Pros: Exceptional 40-hour battery life at mid-volume (10 hours at full volume), swappable design (second battery $200 available). 7.8Ah Li-ion with external charging option and pass-through charging capability. 121dB max volume (Bass+ mode). Premium audio quality, durable ABS polycarbonate with rubberized bumpers. Portable enough for vehicle adventures. High efficiency drivers reach 2-3x the volume of typical speakers for the same wattage. Measured bass extension of 55Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not as loud as the other Soundboks. Not as neutral or as much bass as the above Partyboxes. Not stereo. External power brick for charging. Discontinued; Soundboks has removed it from their lineup and the product page is gone.

#30 W-King T9 Pro: $171.49 AliExpress eBay
Pros: A feature-rich rolling party speaker with dual 6.5-inch woofers, removable battery, TWS pairing, bass presets and music-synced lighting. The swappable battery is especially useful for long events, and its strong output gives it much more headroom than compact Bluetooth speakers.
Cons: Reviewer comparisons describe the tuning as warm and gritty rather than clean or detailed. Its claimed output figures should not be mistaken for neutral sound quality, and a large cabinet with no stated water rating is a poor fit for wet outdoor use.

#32 Onn Large Party gen 1: $100 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Onn Large Party gen 2, ranked higher, rated 3.9/5.
Pros: A genuinely useful feature set for a compact party speaker: FM radio, 3.5mm aux, USB-A phone charging, a mic/guitar input, lights, and Party Sync pairing. Its rolling 10.5kg cabinet, carry handle and claimed 13-hour battery make it easy to take to casual outdoor gatherings, and it can play louder than a typical small Bluetooth speaker. Measured bass extension of ~60Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Sound is not a strong reason to seek one out. Reviewer comparisons find limited deep bass (about 60Hz at -10dB), uneven mids and a boxy, strained presentation at high volume. It has no app or EQ, no water rating, and is discontinued; the newer Onn Large Party gen 2 is the more sensible choice when available.
