The XS-N2124PB portable Bluetooth party speaker promises a powerful and immersive audio experience, and after putting it through its paces, I’m ready to share my thoughts. This review will delve into its features, performance, and overall value, offering a balanced perspective for potential buyers.

The XS-N2124PB boasts a compelling array of features designed for party use. Beyond the advertised 1200W PMPO output, the speaker includes built-in multi-colour LED lights that react to the music, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Connectivity options are plentiful, encompassing Bluetooth, Aux, FM radio, USB, and Micro SD card slots, providing flexibility in music sources. The inclusion of a wired microphone and a remote control adds to its party-centric design, allowing for karaoke sessions and convenient control from a distance. The type-C charging is a welcome addition for speed and convenience.

The sound quality, given the PMPO rating, is surprisingly decent at moderate volumes. The bass is surprisingly punchy for its size, though it can become a little muddy at maximum volume. The LED lights are bright and responsive, adding to the lively atmosphere. Bluetooth connectivity was reliable throughout my testing, with no noticeable dropouts. Battery life, however, fell slightly short of the advertised three hours, particularly when using the lights and volume at higher levels; I consistently achieved around 2.5 hours under those conditions. The included microphone works adequately for karaoke, though the sound quality isn’t studio-grade. The remote is a nice touch, simplifying volume and track control.

I tested the speaker in various environments, from a small indoor gathering to a larger outdoor party (with some careful volume management outdoors). In smaller spaces, the sound filled the room impressively; however, in larger, more open areas, the sound projection wasn’t as effective. At higher volumes, some distortion was noticeable. For its size and price point, the audio performance is acceptable, but not outstanding.

Pros:

• Powerful 1200W PMPO output (though PMPO is a marketing spec, not true RMS power).
• Vibrant and responsive LED lights.
• Multiple connectivity options (Bluetooth, Aux, FM, USB, Micro SD).
• Included microphone and remote control.
• Type-C charging for fast and convenient charging.

Cons:

• Battery life slightly less than advertised.
• Sound quality can become slightly distorted at maximum volume.
• Microphone sound quality is acceptable, but not high-fidelity.
• Sound projection could be better in larger spaces.

The XS-N2124PB portable Bluetooth party speaker offers a compelling package for those seeking a loud, visually engaging audio solution for parties and gatherings. While its battery life and sound quality at maximum volume could be improved, its features, affordability, and impressive overall sound at moderate volumes make it a solid choice for casual use. I would recommend this speaker for individuals and smaller groups looking for a fun, vibrant audio experience for parties or gatherings. However, if pristine audio quality at high volumes is your top priority, you may want to consider other, potentially higher-priced options.
