Sharp has made many products during its more than 100-year history, from its early days as the Hayakawa Metal Works to the forefront of the consumer electronics revolution. This Christmas, it’s Sharp’s audio products that deserve to be under the tree, as DAB radios and party speakers make for the kind of presents that are as much fun to give as they are to receive, gifts that can kick off the festive celebrations as soon as they’re unwrapped.
Sharp speakers come with all the modern conveniences, such as Bluetooth connections and rechargeable batteries so that you don’t need to spend time searching around for a plug socket or any audio cables. Splash-resistant housings mean you won’t have to worry about a shower if you’re using them outside – or in the bathroom – and the ability to charge other devices through their USB ports mean you don’t have to carry another power bank with you either.
This Christmas, gifting Sharp audio products will make you the heart of the party. Here are some that are worth considering.
The room-filling karaoke speaker
Sharp’s PS‑931 XParty SING Speaker is a powerful 2.0‑channel party speaker designed to deliver a bold sound for your Christmas parties and long after. With a maximum output of 180W, it ensures your music is loud, clear and energetic. The built‑in rechargeable battery provides up to 13 hours of continuous playtime, while the option to connect to AC power will keep the party going without interruption.
Equipped with dual 6.5‑inch woofers and a pair of two‑inch tweeters, the PS‑931 balances deep bass with crisp highs, ideal for all styles of music. Its Super Bass mode intensifies low‑end punch, and six equaliser presets – Flat, Pop, Dance, Rock, Live and Club – let you tailor the sound to suit different moods or genres.
This versatile speaker features Bluetooth 5.3 to ensure stable wireless streaming, while a 3.5mm aux input and USB playback add flexibility, and the USB port also doubles as a charging station for mobile devices. For an even bigger soundstage, its TWS Mode allows two PS‑931 units to pair wirelessly, creating immersive stereo audio.
Designed with parties in mind, the speaker features an IPX4 splash‑resistant housing, making it suitable for outdoor use in light rain. Built‑in multicoloured disco lights and strobe effects enhance the atmosphere, while the included microphone supports karaoke sessions or announcements, making the PS‑931 a complete entertainment hub. There are two mic inputs, too, meaning you can sing alongside a friend!
The dynamic disco speaker
The Sharp PS‑921(BK) is a versatile portable Bluetooth party speaker designed to deliver powerful sound and a vibrant atmosphere wherever you take it. Featuring a 2.1‑channel system with two two‑inch drivers and a dedicated four‑inch subwoofer, it produces up to 130W of peak output. The result is full‑range audio with enhanced bass depth and immersive 3D spatial effects, ensuring your music feels dynamic and engaging across genres.
Connectivity options are broad, with Bluetooth streaming from any compatible device, a 3.5 mm AUX‑in port, and USB playback supporting MP3, WAV, and FLAC formats. The USB port also doubles as a charging station for smartphones or tablets, keeping your devices powered during long sessions.
The speaker’s built‑in rechargeable battery provides up to 14 hours of continuous playtime, while mains power support ensures uninterrupted use indoors. The IPX5 splash‑resistant housing makes it suitable for outdoor settings, whether at the poolside or in light rain.
Adding to its party‑ready design, the PS‑921(BK) includes integrated multicolour LED disco lights that pulse with the beat, creating a lively atmosphere. A convenient carry handle means it’s more portable, making this speaker an ideal companion for gatherings, celebrations, or casual outdoor fun wherever you are.
The pocket-sized DAB companion
The Sharp Osaka is a sleek, pocket‑sized digital radio designed for portable listening without compromise. Supporting DAB+, DAB, and FM with RDS, it can store up to 120 stations, ensuring quick access to your favourites. Thanks to Sharp’s BestTune™ technology, the radio automatically selects the strongest available signal, so you enjoy uninterrupted playback wherever you are.
For added versatility, the Osaka doubles as a Bluetooth 5.3 speaker, allowing wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, or other compatible devices. A bright two‑inch colour display provides clear station information, track details, or any other broadcast images, with a dimming option for comfortable viewing in different lighting conditions.
Power comes from a rechargeable lithium‑ion battery offering up to 12 hours of use, or you can connect via USB‑C for continuous playback. Compact dimensions and a lightweight build of just 0.16 kg make it easy to slip into a pocket or bag.
Listening options include the built‑in mono speaker for casual use or a headphone jack for private enjoyment. Extra features enhance practicality: a dual alarm clock, telescopic aerial for improved reception, and a key‑lock function to prevent accidental button presses, making the DR‑P520 a versatile travel companion.
