The verdict

The ultra-portable JLab Pop Party is a feature-rich little speaker. For under $20, you get RGB lights, a solid companion app, and a slick magnetic design that’s easy to strap to a bike or backpack. That said, even with all its features, it’s more about fun vibes than high-end sound.

✓Liked: IPX5, Price, Lights, App support

✕Could be better: No dust resistance, Sound needs some love from the custom EQ

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the JLab Pop Party has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
