Best Party Speakers
When it comes to the best party speakers there are a lot of options out there on the market. Today I’ll be narrowing down the options for specific scenarios, and hopefully providing you with what you need!
There are a lot of newcomers on the market in the party speaker realm along with the classics. Depending on what type of “partying” you are doing usually will help decide on what speaker you need.
For example, if you are pool partying, then you might want a waterproof speaker. Or, if you’re in the middle of the desert without power, then you’ll need one with a big battery.
It can be difficult to discern between all the options out there, but that’s what I’m here for! If you’re looking for more “hidden” speakers, I wrote about my favorite Bluetooth rock speakers as well.
With that being said, let’s get into it!
Our goal is to answer some of the most asked questions when it comes to party speakers. While there are hundreds of choices when it comes to Bluetooth speakers and party speakers, we’ll hopefully clear up some of the confusion on what’s the best!
We’re going to include some of our favorites from all types of speakers so that there is an option for everyone.
What Are Party Speakers?
Party speakers are designed to provide the maximum amount of volume and features catering to a party atmosphere.
There are different types of party speakers including; Bluetooth, standing, bookshelf, portable and waterproof.
Typically these party speakers were associated with DJ use. However, recently they have become a lot more affordable and accessible for everyone.
What to Look for in a Party Speaker?
Some of the best party speakers have similar properties. Typically they have Bluetooth connectivity, a big sound or bass profile, are relatively portability and have high practicality.
When looking at speakers, you should consider all of these features before making a decision.
Speaker technology has remained stagnant over the past few decades. Most speakers are still some sort of cone material that vibrates and then produces sound (how sound is made). However, what has changed is the technology included in these speakers.
Keep an eye out on what technology manufacturer’s include, because it could just make the difference!
Best Party Speakers
Starting off with the Best Party Speakers list. We found the easiest way to organize this list is by type of speaker. We then further organized by performance.
