Artis MS304 24W Bluetooth Party Speaker

Artis MS304 24W Bluetooth Party Speaker

The Artis MS304 is a portable party speaker rated at 24W, built for small gatherings where music needs to come from whatever source is at hand. It plays wirelessly over Bluetooth and also accepts USB drives, TF cards, an AUX-connected device and FM radio, so a phone is only one of several ways to feed it. RGB lighting runs during playback to give the speaker a party presence, and a wired microphone input lets it handle announcements and karaoke-style singing alongside the music.

Portability is the other half of the design. A built-in rechargeable 1500mAh battery frees the speaker from a mains socket for garden, terrace and room-to-room use, and TWS pairing allows a second compatible MS304 to be linked so the two speakers form a wider stereo pair for larger spaces.

Playback from almost any source

Different guests bring different music in different forms, and the MS304 is set up to accept most of them. Bluetooth covers the common case of streaming from a phone. A USB drive or TF card loaded with MP3 files plays without any phone involved, which suits set-and-forget background music and keeps the speaker working when the host’s phone is needed elsewhere. The AUX input takes any device with a headphone or line output, including older phones, laptops and media players, and FM radio is available when a broadcast station is all that is wanted. Switching between sources is done on the speaker, so the music does not depend on one person’s device staying connected and in range.

Microphone use and TWS pairing

The wired microphone input turns the MS304 from a music speaker into a small public address tool. Plug in a compatible wired microphone and the same speaker that played the playlist can carry a host’s announcements, a toast, a quiz round or karaoke vocals. Microphone level should be set separately from the music level, and the singer or speaker positioned away from the front of the speaker to keep feedback under control. For bigger rooms or outdoor areas, TWS pairing links a second compatible unit wirelessly: the pair then plays the same programme as a left and right stereo set, spreading sound across a wider area at lower individual volume, which usually sounds better than one speaker driven hard. Note that microphone support describes the input; the exact accessories supplied should be confirmed from the package contents.

Battery use and placement

The 1500mAh rechargeable battery makes the speaker genuinely portable, but real playing time depends on volume, lighting use and microphone use, so it should be charged fully before an event and tested at the intended level rather than assumed to last a fixed number of hours. Placement matters as much as power: raising the speaker toward listener ear height, keeping it clear of walls that boom the bass, and pointing it at the audience area all improve clarity at a given volume. Indoors, moderate volume in the right position will outperform maximum volume in a corner every time.

The Artis MS304 suits house parties, family functions, small celebrations and casual karaoke where flexibility matters more than sheer size: several ways to play music, lights for atmosphere, a microphone input for the moments that need a voice, and a battery that lets it all happen away from a socket.
