    Is a portable speaker great for parties?

    When it comes to hosting an unforgettable party, the right Bluetooth party speaker can transform any gathering into an unforgettable experience. Whether hosting a house party, outdoor BBQ or beach event, choosing the right wireless sound system ensures powerful, high-quality sound wherever you go.

     

    In this guide, we’ll explore LG xboom’s range of compact party speakers, helping you find the perfect portable fit for your celebration.

    What is a portable party speaker?

    A portable party speaker is built to provide deep bass, loud volume and immersive sound quality, ensuring the acoustic fills any space, indoors or outdoors.

     

    For an optimal party experience, a speaker with at least 20W output is recommended for small gatherings, while larger venues may require 100W or more for impactful sound.

     

    Portability is also key. Look for lightweight designs with built-in handles, straps or wheels for easy transportation.

    What to look for in a portable party speaker

    Selecting the right Bluetooth speaker for a party depends on several factors.

     

    Sound quality

     

    The best party speaker should provide a rich, well-balanced sound. Look for speakers with high wattage, advanced bass boost technology and powerful subwoofers to ensure every beat is felt and heard.

     

    Compact size

     

    Portable Bluetooth speakers are easier to transport, making them ideal for parties outside or away from the home. Look for a compact party speaker with carry handles, wheels, straps, or clip-and-go designs.

     

    Durability

     

    Outdoor parties demand rugged speakers. Check for IP (ingress protection) waterproof ratings - that give you resistance to dust and water - and a robust design.

     

    Battery life

     

    When the music stops, the party’s over, so you don’t want your portable party speaker’s battery running out. Look for how many hours of uninterrupted music a Bluetooth speaker offers.

     

    Power output vs. space size

     

    Matching speaker wattage to your party space is essential. For small indoor parties, 20-50W is ideal. Medium-sized gatherings need around 50-100W, while large outdoor events may require 100W or more to ensure powerful, room-filling sound.1

    Why are LG portable party speakers great for indoor and outdoor events?

    Whether indoors or outdoors, LG party speakers fill the space with rich audio, ensuring everyone enjoys your music. 

     

    Indoor speaker

     

    For home parties, a powerful portable speaker such as the xboom Bounce with a Sound Boost function can enhance every beat — even in small spaces. You can connect you speaker to other devices such as mobile phones, tablets or even your TV, via Bluetooth.

     

    Outdoor speaker

     

    A portable, travel-friendly party speaker with quick-attachment is just the thing for on-the-go. For example, the xboom Go XG2T portable speaker features a compact design with a convenient  adjustable cord that securely fastens the speaker to just about any outdoor equipment like backpacks, bike handles and tent poles. When it comes to durability, it's hard to beat a portable speaker with IP67 water resistance.2 Also consider a speaker with a long-lasting battery life, such as the xboom Grab which plays for up to 20 hours on a full charge.4
