    This portable speaker comes with a handle built into its top so you can easily bring the party with you anywhere you go. Like other PartyBox speakers, it comes with a mic input that's great for karaoke lovers and musicians. It's also compatible with the JBL PartyBox app that gives you access to extra party features of the speaker.
