If you want to throw a memorable party, great sounds is one of the top priorities. You’ll need a speaker that not only sounds good but can get loud enough to fill large, crowded spaces. Luckily, you don’t have to rely on large and heavy sound systems to do this anymore. Leading tech brands such as JBL, Ultimate Ears, Sony and Panasonic, have stepped it up and created amazing portable party speakers that do this and more. We’ve gone ahead and compiled our picks for the Top 5 Portable Party Speakers!

Samsung is pretty new to the party speaker scene but they’ve entered with a boom!

The Sound Towers have a large capacity built-in battery so the party can pump even without access to a power source.

The powerful precision woofers, huge passive radiators, and soft-dome tweeters deliver a high-fidelity listening experience - so you get vibrant, lifelike audio at any volume. The adaptive EQ works by reading the room (or patio, or rooftop) and automatically balancing the sound until it's perfect for your space.
We all know how it can get at parties – multiple people wanting input on the tunes. The good news is, HYPERBOOM lets friends play music from four devices and switch between them with no pause to the music (or the party). You can use the source selector button on the speaker or use the phone app to instantly switch devices. If things get a bit sloshy at your party, it’s all good – the HYPERBOOM is IPX4 Water Resistant to withstand spills and splashes.
