The larger JBuds Party ($70)<\/a> offers 30 watts of power to make it \u201cone of the most powerful speakers at its price,\u201d according to JLab, though, unlike most speakers at this level, it\u2019s not fully dunkable, offering just IPX6 water resistance. Finally, because every brand needs a karaoke speaker, there\u2019s the $150 Epic Party<\/a> with a 360-degree soundstage, four 2.5-inch drivers, a 5.25-inch woofer, and up to 16 hours of claimed battery life. Like its siblings, the Epic boasts RGB lighting and includes both a 3.5-mm aux connection and a quarter-inch jack for adding a microphone. All four speakers are available this week, and we\u2019ll be checking them out soon to see how they stack up to the best Bluetooth speakers<\/a> we\u2019ve tested. \u2014Ryan Waniata<\/em><\/p>\n

TCL Z100 Speaker Makes Atmos Sound More Flexible<\/h2>\n

More than 18 months after it was first teased at IFA 2023, TCL has confirmed the launch of the Z100\u2014the world\u2019s first Dolby Atmos FlexConnect speaker. The aim here is to deliver Atmos sound wirelessly and flexibly, with a range of configurations available\u2014from two to four speakers.<\/p>\n

As they are wireless, the Z100 speakers can be placed wherever is convenient in the room, and will work along with the sound from compatible TCL TVs as well as any other Z100s you own, creating a 5.1.2-channel or 7.1.4-channel Atmos sound. Each speaker packs four drivers, including one upwards firing, to deliver 170 watts of total power.<\/p>\n

The Z100 is currently compatible with the latest generation of TCL QD-Mini LED TVs, like the QM6K<\/a>, and will also double up as a Bluetooth speaker (without Atmos). It\u2019ll be available first in France starting July 2025, with further European and US launches to follow. \u2014Verity Burns<\/em><\/p>\n
