1. Sound Quality

2. Connectivity Options

Party Speakers are focused on wireless applications and offer options like Bluetooth, USB, TF-card, and AUX inputs, providing convenient music playback in outdoor settings.
3. Portability
Sound bars are not designed for frequent movement, as they are typically fixed below the TV or mounted on walls, lacking portability features.
Party Speakers are much more portable, featuring handles, wheels, and built-in power sources for easy transportation and mobility.
4. Power Output
Sound bars have lower power output (typically below 100W) since they are mainly used in home theater setups, where 15W for a room or 60W for a living room is generally sufficient.
The common power is 15W/20W/25W/30W/40W/60W and so on.
And the soundbar has two channels, three channels, four channels, and five channels.
Party Speakers offer higher power output, many models have a output power more the 100W, such as the AUSMAN Party Speaker series, catering to users' specific requirements.
They are 40W/50W/60W/80W/100W/120W/150W/200W, etc.
