Party with the right speakers
Imagine you’ve called your best mates over for a get-together but you want to do more than just sit around and mingle. One super fun activity that you and your friends can enjoy is karaoke!
Karaoke is a great way to let loose and impress everyone with your vocal talents or just sing along to your favourite tunes. Now, before you plan out a karaoke party, you need to get yourself a good karaoke party speaker.
The problem is, that there are a lot of them out there. So how do you choose the right one?
How to choose the ideal karaoke party speakers
Consider the sound quality
You want your karaoke party speaker to deliver a clear, crisp sound that enhances both the music and the vocals. Look for a karaoke speaker with a wide frequency range, which will ensure both high and low notes are reproduced accurately. A speaker with good bass response can add depth to the music, while clear treble will ensure vocals are heard distinctly. For those planning to host larger parties or use the speaker outdoors, look for a model with a high wattage output. A higher wattage means a louder and more powerful sound, which is essential for larger spaces or gatherings where the speaker needs to cut through ambient noise.
Evaluate portability and size
The size and portability of your karaoke speaker can greatly affect your overall experience. If you plan to host karaoke parties in various locations or move your setup around often, a portable speaker with a built-in handle or wheels is a smart choice. Smaller, lightweight speakers are easy to transport but may sacrifice sound quality or volume. On the other hand, if your parties are usually held in the same place, such as your living room or backyard, a larger speaker can provide better sound quality and volume. Just keep in mind that a bigger speaker might require more space and could be heavier and more challenging to move.
Look for built-in microphone inputs
Microphone inputs are a critical feature of any good speaker. When choosing a speaker, check whether it has one or more microphone inputs, depending on how many people you expect to sing at the same time. It's also important to look for inputs supporting both wired and wireless microphones, offering the flexibility to accommodate different preferences or situations. Also, some speakers come with built-in controls for adjusting microphone volume, echo effects, bass, treble, and other settings. These features can be a great bonus for enhancing the overall vocal experience, giving you more control over the sound quality and atmosphere.
Know that connectivity options matter
Look for speakers that support Bluetooth, which allows you to connect wirelessly to your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. This feature is useful if you plan to stream karaoke tracks from online platforms or use apps directly from your devices. It's also beneficial to have options like USB and SD card slots, enabling you to play music files directly from storage devices without relying on an internet connection. An AUX input for wired connections is another useful addition, allowing you to connect other audio equipment, such as a mixer, external music player, or even a DJ controller, to elevate your karaoke setup to the next level.
Take into account the battery life and power source
If you plan to host karaoke parties outdoors or in places where access to power outlets is limited, a karaoke speaker with a long battery life is essential. Look for models that offer at least 6 to 8 hours of playback on a single charge. Some high-end karaoke party speakers can offer up to 20 hours or more, ensuring that the party can go on without any interruptions. For indoor use or events where a power source is readily available, you might not need a battery-operated speaker. In such cases, you could opt for a speaker that plugs directly into an electrical outlet, which could also offer more power and better sound quality.
Ensure built-in effects and equaliser controls are available
To create a true karaoke experience, look for speakers with built-in effects like reverb or echo. These effects can add depth to the vocals, making amateur singers sound more polished and professional. An equaliser (EQ) control allows you to adjust the bass, treble, and mid-range frequencies to match your personal preferences or the acoustics of the room. Some karaoke speakers come with pre-set EQ modes designed for specific music genres, which can enhance the sound quality of particular types of songs. Having the flexibility to adjust these settings on the fly will help create the perfect karaoke sound experience for everyone.

I bought this speaker about a year ago and have not stopped using it since!! This thing is amazing with Bluetooth and Radio build in. With over 50 hours of charge you can take this speaker on weekend float trips without plugging it in all!! And guess what, it’s WATERPROOF. I even tested this out by throwing it in a pool the day I purchased the speaker. It also gets amazingly loud and is great for get togethers of large groups. A 10/10 buy. This company thought of everything!

Light weight, extremely rugged, sounds great indoors and outdoors, and the battery life is insane! This bad boy went from the box to the charger to an outdoor fitness class and has not had any reason to slow down since the initial charge. It even survived the dreaded tailgate drop (my bad) before an outdoor volleyball game and simply asked me if that was all I could throw at it. Next stop .. I need to buy a second speaker to see how it sounds in stereo! If you want something that can play as hard as you can, then I recommend going with the ECOXGEAR EcoBoulder+

I’ve had this speaker for 2 years now and it’s still awesome. I don’t use it everyday but probably 3-4 times a day. It’s completely waterproof and I’ve tested it in lakes, thrown it in the pool and get rained on. Still works great! Every time a new friend sees it they ask where they can get one so they all love it! Overall best impulse buy of my life!
