Planning a party is more than just inviting your friends over, cleaning up the place, and stocking the fridge. Without a party speaker, your party is at risk of being a “meh” gathering rather than the lively night you imagined. And that’s why it’s important to choose the right portable speaker.
Whether you’re planning a chill hangout or a karaoke showdown, the bluetooth speaker you pick can shape the whole mood. But there’s a lot to consider. From wattage and battery to connectivity and LED flair, a lot goes into ensuring your speaker matches your vibe.
But don’t worry. At boAt, we have a range of speakers that suit every party and every budget.
What Makes a Speaker “Party-Ready”?
1. Output Power & Sound Quality
More wattage usually means more room-filling sound. But it’s not just about being loud. Look for clear mids, tight bass, and crisp highs. A speaker that distorts when pushed too hard won’t make for a fun night.
2. Battery Life & Portability
You don’t want the music to die mid-party. Check how many hours the speaker can last (at typical or moderate volume). Also consider its weight and size. If you plan to move it around or take it outside, you need something manageable.
3. Connectivity Options
Bluetooth is standard, but extra flexibility (AUX, USB, TF card, mic or guitar input) can save you when someone wants to DJ off a USB drive or plug in a mic for karaoke.
4. Visuals & Lighting
LEDs, RGB effects, or animated text displays elevate the experience. A speaker that syncs lights with beats adds immersion without much extra effort.
5. Additional Features
Look for features like TWS (True Wireless Stereo), which lets you pair two speakers, app control that gives you fine-tuning over EQ, lighting, and display, and IPX water resistance, which is helpful for outdoor spills or drizzle.

FAQs
1. What’s the difference between a “portable speaker” and a “party speaker”?
A portable speaker offers compactness, battery life, and convenience. A party speaker focuses more on output power, features like mic input, lighting, and immersive sound.
2. Can I link two speakers 600 for stereo sound?
Yes. PartyPal 600 supports TWS mode, allowing you to wirelessly pair two units for a more expansive stereo experience.
3. How long will the battery actually last if using LED effects?
With LEDs on full, heavy bass usage, or mic operations, you can expect maybe 60–70% of the usual playtime.
4. Are these speakers water-resistant? Can I use them by the pool?
Yes, the Stone Arc Pro and 350 Pro have IPX5 splash and sweat resistance. They’re designed to handle splashes but not to be submerged.
5. How can I get more power but with a smaller footprint?
You can combine two mid-range units (e.g. two Stone Arc Pro or two Stone 350 Pro) using TWS Mode. That way, you get a louder sound without going to a single massive tower.
