Is the JLab Pop Party loud enough for outdoors?

For a small group on a quiet patio, yes. In wind, traffic or a crowded park it gets drowned out; 5W is modest and there is little bass to carry.

It is rated IP55, so splashes, rain and dust are fine. Do not submerge it or take it swimming.

How long does the battery last?

JLab rates it at about 8 hours. Expect less at high volume, and note it can also run from AC mains.

Yes. Bluetooth 5.0 pairs with iOS, Android, Windows and most other Bluetooth sources.

No. There is no stereo pairing or app control, so each speaker plays on its own.

Yes. It is small, splash-resistant and simple to pair, and the multicolor finishes appeal to kids. Just keep expectations on volume and bass low.
