would it work as a sound source for a party?

not really, it can't take the place of a good sound system. speaker is more for small areas, like in the bath room or working in garage , etc

Yes but it is not super loud. The same volume as similar sizes at best buy but a better price

don't know, I gave it to my son, they do use it outside in the back yard, so I would say yes.

I love the sound. It's loud enough for a decent sized room to get lost in the music but not for a big party or get together

We used it in a church meeting hall with over 100 people and the sound carried fine. I am sure that it would be fine for a larger group. No special equipment needed, however we did plug it in rather than rely on the batter. Have had it over a year and seems to be working fine.

It does get load more than you would think. I think it would be great for a backyard party. It might be pushing it for being on the beach though. That's just my opinion. It does have great clear sound.

I suspect that it would depend upon how far away from the source the equipment was placed. The speakers are tinny so it is not great for music but is ok for voice recordings.

We use ours in an outside bar and it is plenty loud enough. Not sure if you are wanting to use this just to play a song / songs during the ceremony (which should be fine) or wanting to use it for the reception party (def will not be sufficient). If just wanting to play some background music or a special song during the ceremony it should be fine.

The screen is not glass....as with any portable device, the speakers are not loud enough to play music at a party, but any Bluetooth or wired.speaker set.with a 3.5 mil jack will allow for a louder sound.

Yes! It's not gonna give you sound for a beach party, but great for a small group on the beach...we use ours almost every week!

Absolutely. You may want to add some sort of cheap surround sound though. The built-in speaker is OK but not great.

If it's powered with the cable, I think so. Granted, you don't want the music to be overbearing at these events, so it should work fine. For a concert, on the other hand, definitely not. Although you would probably want to mount the speaker outdoors.

I suppose it depends on how loud the parties are. There is an Auxiliary plug in, but I'm not really sure if all auxiliary plug ins are the same. Check it out, you never know.

That is not what it's designed for. While theoretically you could, You would need some type of speaker to amplify. Far easier and cheaper solutions.

Depends on the size of the party. 6 to 8, ok. Doubtful for 9 or more unless they all like to play chess. Tones, bass included, are ok for the price. Battery charge is good, and u can run it plugged in to an IPhone transformer for lengthier use. Bottom line; good for personal use of IPhone tunes and IPad sound, but it's not an 8ohm speaker. What, big parties? Buy a good receiver/amp and speakers, hook in your tunes and rock on. Party hardy.

Yes! I often use it to play along with an MP3 and have all the sound come out the speakers together. Fun!

It will work for that purpose except it does not have an audio cable. So to get your sound you will need a separate audio cable.

Yes, it should work fine as a substitute. You might have to adjust the speaker volumes some in order to get a fully balanced sound system, but that should not be a difficult task.

Well of course we all know they're small, so they can pump but so much but I use them when I have a crowd of 10 and ae enjoy them comfortably.....Nice Base and clear...they will not replace party speakers (something you'd use for bumping loud music)...but you'll enjoy as a casual gathering where conversation,/gatherings are going on but you just want nice music in the background...
