JLab is jumping back into the Bluetooth speaker scene—and this time, they’re aiming to bring the party to everyone, whether you’re chilling solo at the beach or throwing a full-on house party. To mark its 20th anniversary, the audio brand is rolling out four new portable speakers, each designed with sound, lights, and budget-friendly pricing in mind.

Launching June 18, the new lineup includes the Pop Party Speaker, Go Party Speaker, JBuds Party Speaker, and the bigger, more powerful Epic Party Speaker. They all offer Bluetooth connectivity, customizable RGB lighting, and a syncing feature called LabSync that lets you link multiple speakers together for a bigger soundstage or stereo setup.

Let’s break down what each speaker brings to the table.

Pop Party Speaker – Tiny but Ready to Jam

If you want something small enough to toss in a bag but loud enough to make some noise, the Pop Party Speaker might do the trick. At $19.99, this entry-level model is compact but still manages to pack in a surprising amount of punch.

It has a 2-inch full-range driver and 2-inch passive radiator, so you’re not stuck with tinny sound. The speaker also comes with customizable RGB lighting, controllable through the JLab app, and it’s IPX5 water-resistant, meaning it can handle a few splashes. Plus, there’s a detachable loop handle that makes it easy to hang on a backpack or hook.

This one’s probably best for personal listening or low-key hangs—think solo beach days or background music during a picnic.

Go Party Speaker – More Power, More Protection

A step up in both size and output, the Go Party Speaker offers 10 watts of power and goes for $29.99. Like the Pop, it features RGB lights and LabSync compatibility, but it also steps up the durability with a higher IPX6 water-resistance rating—ideal for pool parties or messy backyard BBQs.

Inside, you’ll find dual 2-inch drivers and dual 2-inch passive woofers that deliver deeper bass and better overall volume. Like its smaller sibling, the lighting is customizable, so you can match your music with pulsing lights if that’s your vibe.

JBuds Party Speaker – Bigger Sound, More Control

In the middle of the pack is the JBuds Party Speaker, priced at $69.99, and it’s where things start to feel a lot more powerful. This speaker delivers 30 watts of output thanks to dual drivers and dual bass radiators, and it’s built to be portable and rugged enough for on-the-go use.

What sets it apart? It has a multi-function volume knob that also handles play/pause commands, along with three EQ presets you can swap between in the JLab app: Signature, Balance, and Bass Boost.

It’s still IPX5 rated, and yes, it comes with RGB lights, which are also customizable. If you want something that can keep up with a group setting—maybe a few friends hanging out on a rooftop or at the park—this one could be your go-to.

Epic Party Speaker – Your One-Speaker Party Machine

And then there’s the Epic Party Speaker, JLab’s flagship model. At $149.99, it’s built for larger gatherings and delivers 100 watts of power, thanks to four 2.5-inch full-range drivers, a 5.25-inch subwoofer, and a 5-inch passive woofer.

Pop Party Speaker, Go Party Speaker, JBuds Party Speaker, and Epic Party Speaker.

What makes this one different? First, there’s 360-degree sound, designed to fill a room or outdoor space more evenly. Second, it has over 16 hours of battery life, so it’s built to last the night. And if you want to go big, you can sync up to 100 speakers together using LabSync.

It also includes some useful extras:

  • A 3.5mm AUX input for connecting other devices
  • A ¼-inch microphone input—great for karaoke or announcements
  • A USB-C port that can charge your phone

All of this can be controlled through the JLab app, where you’ll find four different EQ presets and full RGB lighting controls.

All four models will be available starting June 18 at JLab.com and major retailers. The speakers will launch in black, but navy and mulberry versions are expected later this year for the Pop, Go, and JBuds models. If you shop at Target, you’ll also find exclusive colors like cyan, pink, and lime.
