The sun is shining, the grill is smoking, and the speakers are playing a little too loud – just as they should be.
The AVPlus Summer Party 2025 supplement does not feel the spirit of Midsummer or getting lost on a cottage road, but focuses concretely on what technology can offer for carefree moments of summer.
With products that cover cooling and power, grilling and water play, and everything else fun and useful, we're showcasing the gadgets that will make your summer run smoother – or your party wilder – whether you're in the backyard, on a hike, on a boat or at the beach.
And because summer without music is like sausage without mustard, there's also a comparison test of party speakers.
They have more size, sound and lights than sense – just what summer needs. What is the best speaker for summer parties? You'll find out as you read on.
Welcome - we promise you a good time, cool technology, hot grills and a good reason to turn on the power.
☀️ Happy summer 2025!
