Music sounds better when you play it loud. Your neighbors may disagree, but they won’t have a choice once you buy this enormous onn speaker, which is $30 off and just $119 at Walmart right now. This party speaker is built like a rolling suitcase with built-in wheels and an extendable handle so you can roll it around. It pumps out absurd sound levels and comes with a surprising list of bells and whistles for its price. Go grab one before they sell out, and start making playlists while you wait for it to arrive. I recommend starting with a little Wu-Tang and going from there.

This 640-watt monster can connect to an audio device in just about any way you’d want. It has built-in FM radio, as well as Bluetooth and a headphone jack for connecting to a mobile device. Plus, it has a 1/4-inch microphone/guitar port so you can use it as a makeshift amp in a pinch. The built-in battery provides up to 12 hours of play time on a single charge and built-in LED lights ensure this thing is as awesomely obnoxious as you could ever want.

If you’re looking for something more high-end, Walmart also has the excellent JBL Partybox 110 on sale for $289. It’s pricier but provides better overall sound quality and a sturdier build.

Executive editor, gear and reviews

Stan Horaczek is the executive gear editor at Popular Science. He oversees a team of gear-obsessed writers and editors dedicated to finding and featuring the newest, best, and most innovative gadgets on the market and beyond.

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
