Party speakers hold a special place in my heart. I love hosting people and music, so I'm always on the lookout for the next best thing, which at the moment, it's the JBL PartyBox Stage 320. But not everyone has over $500 to spend on a party speaker. If you're looking for a budget option that still has great features and packs a punch, consider Hisense's HP100 Party Rocker Speaker, currently $149.99 (originally $299.95) on Woot, the lowest price it has been according to price-tracking tools.
Remember Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6 to ship.
The HP100 has been around since 2022, but it was ahead of its time when it comes to features for party speakers. It has a waterproof IPX4 rating, a 15-hour battery (with no lights and 50% volume), a two-channel system so you get stereo sound, and features to set it up for karaoke.
One of the most important things for a party speaker is its output power. The HP100 has 300W of output power, which beats the PartyBox Stage 320's 240W, meaning it can get loud and not sound edgy (of course, the quality of your media also plays a role). You'll also be limited to Bluetooth 5.0, so your range, codec support, and other features will be affected (the JBL has Bluetooth 5.4).
The HP100 has a microphone and guitar in port, so you can set up karaoke and control those inputs with the speaker. The control panel on the top has a wireless charging pad for supported phones, a slot to place phones so they're propped up, a battery indicator, controls for playing FM radio, light controls, and other physical buttons.
The HP100 is a respectable speaker in 2025, just don't expect any fancy features like an app companion and everything that comes with that. However, this is a great opportunity at just $150 for a quality party speaker.
