Speakers that will bring your soirées to life

Some of you may enjoy letting your hair down over the weekend, and catching up with friends and family. Hors d’oeuvres, the clinking of glasses and everyone dressed in their Sunday best, are just a few things that make a party, well, a party!

However, music perhaps, is truly the most important. Whether its swaying to smooth jazz, or tapping your feet and pumping your fists to the beats of the hottest new hits, a party is incomplete without music.

If you prefer the latter, you understand that good music also deserves good speakers. This is where we come in. Check out this little list we put together, of the five best party speakers which will ensure your Saturday night shindig becomes the talk of the town.

SONY SRS-XV900

The SRS-XV900 party speaker from Sony says party like no other with its Party Connect feature. This feature lets one connect it with up to a whopping 100 Bluetooth speakers from the Sony X-series range, meaning you can now have extra-large parties all you like. The 25-hour battery life and quick charge support, which allows the device to play your music for nearly three hours, means it ensures the party goes on all night. The 12.6-inch X-Balanced woofer and six tweeters on the side and rear also ensure crystal clear audio quality, no matter what the volume.

JBL PartyBox 1000

This 1100W monster from JBL, will certainly ensure your party is the most talked about on your street. Not just the sound. The fact that it comes with a DJ Pad and lighting panel also means that it will turn your living room into a high-end club. If in case you happen to be a budding musician, the PartyBox 1000  also comes with microphone and guitar inputs, so you can show your talent off to the world!

Marshall Woburn II 110W Bluetooth Speaker

Flashy speakers with RGB lights may not be everyone’s thing. Well, for those who prefer something restrained, yet stylish, have you considered the Marshall Woburn II? The mesh grill and metal knobs for bass, volume, and treble, take one right back to rock festivals in the 60s. The switch which can be flicked to power it on and off adds to its charm. However, while the speaker does have a retro charm, it also features smart, modern features such as Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, compatibility with iOS and Android, and even Windows devices.

Bose Home 500

We couldn’t talk speakers and not mention Bose, of course. The Bose 500 speaker, in addition to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, also features support for AirPlay2 and Alexa. It comes with a built-in microphone, meaning that it doesn’t just play music, but also allows one to take calls as well, should the need ever arise. The fact that it comes in an understated shade of white with an aluminum body and a colour display means that it grabs attention, yet keeps things classy.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay M5 460W Bluetooth Speaker

The Beoplay M5 from Bang & Olufsen is another option to consider for your homes when looking to invest in a Bluetooth speaker. Using the Bang & Olufsen app on your smartphone, you can optimise its output according to whether its been placed in a corner, against a wall, or left free-standing in an open space. The fabric cover and aluminum body also mean that the speaker looks quite unlike anything else out there. What’s more, the Beoplay M5 Bluetooth speaker is not all show and no go. It has a number of neat tricks up its sleeve, just some of them being built in Chromecast, and Apple AirPlay support.

So, now that you’ve got your speakers sorted, what are you waiting for? Kick back with your friends and family, and party on!
