I’ve been using the LG xboom Bounce for a few weeks now and it’s definitely one of the best portable speakers around right now, especially for the great sound quality it delivers when playing music. It’ll last for over 20 hours on a single charge, and it’s super cheap at less than $200.
I had no idea what a portable speaker could do until I tried the LG xboom Bounce. It’s an amazing device that delivers incredible sound anywhere and has outstanding music playback quality.
It’s no surprise that the image promoting this product on the official LG website is that of will.i.am, the popular American rapper and member of the Black Eyed Peas.
One of the best things about it is how easy it is to carry around, which makes it perfect for the beach or the pool – and it’s also really durable. You can even leave it in a room at home and it’ll adjust its sound to the room.
This is the best portable speaker for throwing a party at home or taking to the pool.
How can something so small make such a big sound? That was the first thing I thought when I got the LG xboom Bounce. It’s a device that stands out because it’s so easy to transport.
This LG speaker is as tough as they come – it meets military standards for durability (MIL STD 810), which you can see as soon as you pick it up. It’s also got IP67 and IPX4 ratings, so it can handle splashes of water and dust.
It’s both portable and durable, so you can take it to the pool, the beach, or anywhere else you might spend your summer without worrying about its durability.
I’ve had it for a few weeks now and I think it ticks all the boxes to be the best portable speaker. It’s also really easy to use and connect, thanks to its simple design, with buttons on the top so you don’t have to configure anything.
The premium design is by Peerless, a Danish manufacturer with almost 100 years of experience, which has provided the woofers and tweeters for one of the best sound experiences, which I’ll talk about later.
Another great feature is Auracast, the latest Bluetooth technology that lets you quickly connect the speakers to other sound systems if you want to turn your home into a nightclub.
The sound is great, especially for music, and it’ll fit in anywhere.
If there’s one thing that sets the LG xboom Bounce apart, it’s its amazing sound in any setting. It really shines when used to play music, thanks to its high degree of customisation.
You can choose different settings from the LG ThinQ app, which I’ll talk about later. You can choose the one that best suits your listening mode, especially for music, and adapt the sound to the room.
To get the best sound quality, it’s a good idea to check the environment every time you move the speaker. Trust me, it’s a piece of cake to transport, so you’ll be doing this on the regular. You’ll always have the best audio for whatever location you’re in.
When it comes to battery life, it depends on the settings you’ve chosen. For instance, when the volume was maxed out and the AI-powered adaptive sound was enabled, the speaker could go for over 20 hours.
On top of that, there’s a big plus when it comes to charging. I’ve found it really handy to be able to listen to music outside without worrying about the battery, and I’ve charged it using a TV.
All these features are really easy to use in the LG ThinQ app, which is a great tool for customising the speaker to suit your needs.
LG ThinQ is still one of the best apps for managing devices.
LG ThinQ is one of the most popular apps for controlling your entire connected home. If you’ve got a TV or other device from the manufacturer, you can get even more out of the LG Xboom Bounce.
Here are a few sound options for you: Standard is the default, and you’ve got Bass Boost for high-powered sound, Voice Enhance for clearer and crisper vocals, AI Sound for real-time analysis of the music genre, and Custom for the equaliser.
You can also switch the bottom speaker’s lighting on or off from here, or set what you want the MY button (the heart-shaped one on the top of the speaker) to do.
ThinQ has a bunch of other cool features too, like AI Calibration, which optimises the listening space. There’s also a sleep timer, power type and multi-play mode, which lets you access Party Mode and play music on two devices at once.
If that’s the case, you’ll be able to play the sound from a TV and the speaker at the same time, and you won’t need an app. Anyway, LG ThinQ is a must if you want to get the most out of your device and update it.
