soundcore Rave 3S AI Party Speaker
Verdict
The Soundcore Rave 3S is a party-first boombox with huge bass, bright LED light shows and impressive karaoke features, ideal for backyard gatherings and campers who want loud fun. Its heavy 23 pound body, modest 12 hour battery life and long charge time make it less suitable for frequent long-distance carrying.
