LG XBOOM XL5 2.1ch Multi-Color Ring Lighting Audio System up to 12HR Battery

I did a TON of research while shopping for a large boom box for cheer. I needed something easy to move, good battery life and LOUD. This 100% checks every box

this thing is loud and great bass. battery lasts forever! love it!

I have to agree with the other reviewers!! This speaker is so good I purchased another one because my backyard is so big. Once I linked both speakers together the sound traveled throughout my almost 1 acre backyard. We used these LG speakers for my twins high school Trunk party and it had the entire crowd rocking.I will by one for my parents for Christmas for their backyard oasis.(6) star rating.

Works great, great sound

Inside my house and out on the deck. It sounds great.👍🏻

I honestly can't even believe something like this exists, it's just amazing.When I first plugged this in, I was blown away at the bass and how loud this speaker could get without starting to have quality issues. The thing that really blew my mind was that like 30% volume is normal listening level, but at 40% or 50%, you literally might get noise complaints called on you, this thing can get LOUD.I've tried a variety of different speakers, from $30 knockoff brands to $400 Sonos speakers, and I have to say this is definitely an incredibly unique experience.On one hand, I would absolutely pick this speaker for any outdoor or party related thing, hands down. On the other hand, I would definitely not pick this for indoor normal music listening.This speaker - at least to me - seems to be more focused on achieving louder volumes without audio degradation than it is about specific audio quality. For example, if I listen to my Sonos and then listen to this speaker, the music almost always sounds better on the Sonos (which can also get pretty loud) but the bass and loudness of this crushes the Sonos speaker.As for the app experience and updating the speaker, adjusting the LED lighting and everything, it literally couldn't be easier or a better experience. As soon as you pair this speaker with your iPhone (and I think Android does this as well) it immediately tells you to download an app that is designed for this speaker. Once the app is installed, you don't even have to make an account or anything, it just instantly shows all the options to control the speaker and lighting and everything, all on one page with a very simple UI. I love the simplicity and ease of use of the app, and wish more apps like the Sony and Sonos apps would do a similar thing.All in all, I absolutely love this thing and think it looks and sounds incredible, and if I had parties a lot, wanted to listen to loud music a lot, or wanted a speaker that sounded great and loud with a long battery life, this would absolutely be the speaker for me. However, I usually just listen to my Sonos and HomePod in surround sound through AirPlay from my iPhone at my desk while I work, and I infinitely prefer that combination for my personal use case.10/10, absolutely recommend, this thing is incredible, just make sure it lines up with what you're actually wanting to use it for!

The media could not be loaded. I'll get the bad out of the way right off the bat. Price is a little high for this size speaker in the current market. It's hard to be competitive with more established brands if you are priced higher. Bass isn't quite as tight or deep as I would like. Overall upper range is a bit warm and lacking in detail. This can be improved, however, with the 3 band EQ in the app.The Pixel display is the real star of the show with this speaker. There are some pre-set animations and scrolling text messages, plus you can create your own with emojis or text. You can also select colors and options to set repeat to play through your selected scenes or just run the same one continuously. You can also customize the light around the woofer with patterns and colors. The app is a must have for this speakers, since there are so many customization options and features. Record your own 5 second sound clip and add it to the DJ section, where there are also other sound effects and a scratch pad. The options via the app on this speaker are excellent and plentiful.So overall this speaker does have a lot going for it, but the price is really the big issue. I think if this speaker ends up going on a substantial discount at some point it would certainly be worth a look. For those who like customization and features, this LG model has got serious game.
