20 Best Sounding Party Sound Systems of 2019

Most speakers come with multiple connection methods, and each option has its benefits and minuses. Here are a few of the main connection methods you‘ll use:

• Bluetooth: by far, one of the best methods you‘ll use is Bluetooth because it gives you wireless freedom. Most speakers will have a connection range of 33-feet, which means you won‘t need to keep your smartphone near the party system at all times. Some party sound systems will have NFC pairing that automatically connects your devices to the speaker for convenience. However, if there are objects in the way of the transmitted waves the audio will begin to connect in and out.
• AUX: you can connect with an AUX cable if you don‘t have a Bluetooth device. Also, if you want to save smartphone battery power by not using Bluetooth AUX is a great alternative. Make sure that the cable you use is premium because otherwise the audio quality won‘t be as good.
• USB Stick/SD Card: using a USB stick or SD card is a great option because you can store thousands of songs onto one device depending on the GB size. Also, this means you won‘t have to use devices such as smartphones to play music, thus saving battery power in the process. However, the negative of using this method is that not all speakers have a shuffle mode, which means the audio goes in order every time you turn on the speaker.

Some speakers come with LED lights that give off a party-like vibe, which enhances the whole experience. LED lights will flow with the music that makes drops and bass notes have more emphasis. You can control the lighting yourself since most speakers have multiple settings to play with. Some speakers come with disco balls that provides an excellent atmosphere that other basic speakers cannot. Also, you can download the lighting application that the speakers come with to gain more customization over the lights.

The most important aspect of the speaker is the audio quality since you don‘t want to spend your hard-earned money on a party sound system that doesn‘t meet your standards. There are multiple aspects to look into when purchasing a party sound system. Here are a few of the main ones:

• Frequency response: the frequency response tells you how much detail the audio is going to have since the drivers can play more notes. Usually, a speaker will have a frequency range between 20 – 20KHz, which is a great amount as there is good balance between the highs and lows. However, if you require more detail to achieve lifelike audio get a sound system with wider frequency response.
• Wattage: the wattage tells you how loud the audio can get, so if you need a loud system get a speaker with at least 50-watts. Make sure to look at the RMS wattage and not peak power because RMS is what your speaker will constantly play at. If the speaker brand doesn‘t show the wattage, you can look at the dB sensitivity to see how loud the speaker is. Above 80 dB is ideal as this means the audio can get super loud.
• Built-in EQ: having a built-in EQ is a huge advantage because you can tune the drivers to sound the way you want it. Therefore, if you‘re a bass enthusiast you can increase the lows to enjoy soothing bass-boosted songs. Some speakers come with EQ applications that you can download for free. Plus, if you‘re unsure how to tune the drivers yourself you can always use one of the many presets.

The party sound system should be practical to use since you don‘t want to waste time setting them up. Most of the options we have chosen are plug in and play, which is much easier than connecting to a stereo. Also, they are simple to transport due to the compact size and handles that makes it easy to carry around. You can take some of these speakers to the beach or water-based areas since they have a waterproof case.

The battery lives of these portable speakers are usually more than 8-hours, which is more than enough for most parties. The charging times are super short compared to the playback time you get in return. Also, have in mind if you use the LED lights, the playback time will reduce significantly.

The speaker brand can tell you a lot because some brands produce better products than others. Going with a popular brand is ideal since they have a track record of providing their customers with premium speakers. Also, larger companies give out free warranties, which means you won‘t need to purchase one separately.

However, bigger brands usually increase their prices, which is why you can go with a small brand and receive the same quality product. Make sure you do the research beforehand since you won‘t want to end up with a product you don‘t like. You can read online reviews and see what experiences other people had, or better yet watch unboxing videos to gain an insight into what the product will be like out of the box.
