JLab Pop Party Bluetooth Speaker vs Rockville SONIC-XXL

These are two different classes of speaker. The JLab Pop Party is a pocketable 5 W speaker with RGB lighting, a detachable loop and IP55 splash resistance; the Rockville SONIC-XXL is a 7.76 lb, 70 W RMS party box with deep bass, EQ modes and SD, USB and aux inputs. Buy the Pop Party for travel, showers and small rooms where weight matters; buy the SONIC-XXL for loud outdoor gatherings and bass you can feel. Owners of the SONIC-XXL praise its sound and bass for the size, while the Pop Party's limits are its low volume and the drop to 5 hours of playtime with lights on.

• Choose the JLab Pop Party if you want a speaker that disappears in a bag, survives splashes and runs on Bluetooth 5.3 with app-controlled lights.
• Choose the SONIC-XXL if you need real volume, deep bass and wired or card inputs for a backyard, garage or hall.
