Muse 300W IPX6 Splash Proof Bluetooth Speaker with Karaoke | M-980 BT

Big sound and a party atmosphere, wherever people gather

The Muse 300W IPX6 Splash Proof Bluetooth Speaker | M-980 BT is built for South African entertaining, where the party moves between the lounge, the patio and the pool without missing a beat. With 300W output power, IPX6 splash resistance, dual microphone inputs for karaoke, colour-changing lights and a 10-hour battery, it's designed to be the life of the occasion. This is a speaker that doesn't just play music, it anchors the event, indoors or out, with sound that fills the space and features that turn a gathering into a party.

300W output power that fills a space
The M-980 BT delivers 300W of output power, which means it projects rather than whispers. This is not background music, this is sound that carries from the braai to the pool, across a garden or through a crowded room, without distortion. The speaker is designed for South African entertaining, where volume matters and the music needs to reach everyone, whether they're inside, outside or halfway down the driveway. Adjustable treble and bass controls let you tailor the sound to the music and the space, boosting bass for dance tracks or lifting treble for vocal clarity. The speaker handles the full range of party playlists, from amapiano to rock anthems, with the punch and presence the occasion demands.

IPX6 splash resistance for poolside life
Rated IPX6, the M-980 BT is splash-proof and protected against water jets from any direction. It will survive poolside splashes, spilt drinks and the occasional spray from the hose without complaint. This is not a submersible speaker, you shouldn't dunk it in the pool, but it's tough enough to sit on the patio table, next to the braai or by the pool without the host worrying every time someone reaches for a drink. South African entertaining happens outdoors as often as in, and the M-980 BT is built to live in that environment without being precious about it. The splash resistance is a practical necessity, not a luxury, it's what makes the speaker genuinely portable between indoor and outdoor spaces.

10-hour battery life that lasts the event
The 6000mAh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of playback at 50% volume, which is a full afternoon and evening on one charge. The battery capacity display on the speaker shows the remaining charge at a glance, so you can plan when to plug in before the music cuts out mid-party. The speaker charges via USB-C, the same cable as most modern phones, and supports PD fast charging at 12V 2A for quicker turnaround between events. The 10-hour runtime is genuine, not a best-case-scenario claim, it's designed to match the reality of a South African braai or birthday party that starts at lunch and runs into the evening. The battery life is long enough that you won't spend the afternoon hunting for a power point.

Dual microphone inputs with echo control for karaoke and speeches
The M-980 BT has two 6.35mm microphone jacks with independent volume and echo control, which turns the speaker into a karaoke rig or a PA system for speeches and toasts. This is a differentiator, most portable Bluetooth speakers in this category offer zero microphone support, and the M-980 BT offers two inputs with proper echo adjustment. The microphone function is part of the occasion-making the buyer is after, it's the feature that turns a birthday party into a karaoke session or lets the host make a speech without shouting. The echo control adds atmosphere without overdoing it, and the independent volume adjustment means you can balance the microphone level against the music without one drowning out the other. Microphones are not included, you'll need to supply your own standard dynamic microphone, but the speaker is ready to accept them.

Colour-changing lights and stereo pairing for atmosphere and scale
The colour-changing lights add visual theatre to the event, a cue that the party has started. The lighting is adjustable and can be turned on or off, so it's there when you want it and out of the way when you don't. It's not essential, but it's part of the atmosphere the buyer is after, and it works. Stereo pairing mode lets you link two M-980 BT speakers wirelessly for true left-right stereo separation, which scales the sound across a larger space. For the buyer who's serious about sound, two speakers deliver proper stereo imaging and fill a lapa or a garden with presence that one speaker can't match. The recommended maximum distance between the main speaker and the secondary speaker is 4 metres, which covers most entertaining setups.

Bluetooth, AUX and USB playback for flexibility
The M-980 BT pairs with all Bluetooth-enabled devices within 10m range, which is far enough to let the phone stay with the host while the speaker sits by the pool. The 3.5mm AUX input accepts wired connections from older devices without Bluetooth, and the USB port plays MP3 files directly from a USB flash drive, so the buyer can curate a playlist in advance and leave it running without needing a phone nearby. The USB port also charges external devices at 5V 1A, which keeps guests' phones topped up without extra cables. The speaker offers three ways to play music, and that flexibility matters when you're hosting a mixed group with different devices and preferences.

The Muse 300W IPX6 Splash Proof Bluetooth Speaker | M-980 BT is built for South African hosts who bring people together, with big sound, splash resistance, long battery life and karaoke capability. It's a speaker that makes the occasion, indoors or out, without being precious about where it lives. Order the M-980 BT today and let the music be the life of the party.
