Why it's a great gift
This isn't another portable speaker — it's the evening's entertainment. Plug in a couple of mics, dim the room, and the built-in lights pulse with the music. A guitar input covers the family performer, too.
Is this the right gift?
- Great for: basement hosts and holiday sing-alongs.
- Great for: families with a resident guitarist.
- Great for: backyard birthdays within reach of the car.
- Skip if: apartment living, or it must travel far by hand.
The verdict
A show in a box — and it is a box
Give this to the household that hosts, ideally as a split group gift. It's heavy, furniture-class gear — and the microphones everyone pictures are sold separately.
Why it works
- ✓ Room-anchoring volume with bass to match
- ✓ Dual mic inputs plus a guitar jack for real karaoke
- ✓ Swappable battery keeps the party unplugged
Tradeoffs
- × Around 11 kg with no wheels — it travels by car, not by hand
- × No microphones in the box
- × Splash-resistant only, so it lives indoors

Before you buy
- Confirm it's the PartyBox Club 120 — the Stage 320 is the larger sibling with wheels.
- Order wired microphones alongside it, or Christmas-morning karaoke waits on a second delivery.
- Plan its parking spot — over half a metre tall, happiest near a wall outlet.
Quick answers
Are microphones included?
No — the box holds the speaker, power cord and paperwork. Budget for mics separately.
Does it need to stay plugged in?
No — the removable battery is rated up to 12 hours, less with lights and volume up. It also runs on wall power.
Can it live on the patio?
It shrugs off splashes, but store it indoors — it isn't rated for rain, dust or a winter deck.
