When I went to the best buy store in Eagan, MN to pick up My new Bluetooth speaker, I was wondering if I made a good choice going with this LG Speaker. Upon opening the box and lifting the speaker up out of its protective packaging, I was pleasantly surprised by the over all appearance and visual quality. The speaker has a very solid handle to lift it. It has very sturdy construction. It was very easy to set up and adapt it via Bluetooth to my android phone. The sound quality is superb . It is not super loud, but it is loud enough in my opinion. I also own a Sony ULT 7 which is louder, but not really superior in sound quality. For the price and overall quality, I am very satisfied. Enough so that I have purchased a second one so I can pair them together for true stereo sound. I would recommend the speaker for those who enjoy quality over quantity so to speak. And if you want MORE BOOM, PURCASE TWO !

LG has introduced a series of three portable Bluetooth speakers, and the LG xboom Stage 301 is the largest and most versatile of the three. It has so many features, functions, and creative possibilities that it is hard to cover them all in a simple review. It weighs 13.6 lbs., has a 6.6” woofer, two 2.5” midrange drivers, and is powered by 50 watts. The musical sounds it emanates are terrific! Portability is superb, with 11-12 hours of battery life, and the ability to purchase more rechargeable batteries directly from the LG website. A full battery charge takes three hours, and battery life can be monitored on the LG Thinq app, which also allows you to control several other features of the xboom Stage 301. I left it playing from 11:00 am until 10:30 pm, and it still had a little power left. LG specifies that it will run 11 – 12 hours. I have had several Bluetooth speakers, but never one before that paired so quickly and seamlessly as this, which supports 5.3 Bluetooth. With a touch of a button, I was playing all types of music through the speaker from my phone. Music to me is the only universal language, and xboom Stage 301 has many features and functions that can be used to enhance various sources of music. There is an EQ setting, which changes the sound effect, the AI automatic function that adjusts the sound to a specific space, the Reverb, Mic, and Guitar controls. Automatically adjusting the sound to a specific space where listening will occur can maximize all frequencies and fine-tune the sound to the speakers' best harmonious possibility. There is also Party Link by Auracast that allows for linking two similar models for stereo play, and a multimode that enables multiple models to be chained and connected. A feature that adds a touch of interest is the Mood Lighting. It can be set to different lighting patterns and colors. Whether you are playing music using Bluetooth, your guitar, or the USB MP3 player playing music from a USB stick, the lighting program will synchronize with the music. I like the MY button because it allows for saving a specific mood light, type of music, and acts as a favorite button to save particular settings for future play. All control buttons are easily located on the top of the unit, even though the unit can be positioned at several angles or set on a stand with the incorporated stand hole. There are several options for playing music through this marvelous device besides just using it as a Bluetooth speaker. It is equipped with a 3.5mm stereo mini jack, a 1/4” mic which doubles as a guitar jack, and a USB for a flash drive to playback MP3 music. It also has a Karaoke and DJ Mode, which I played with a little, but was most impressed with the sound that came from my voice through the mic and the clarity of the music from my guitar. The karaoke function was interesting because of its AI vocal separation that removes all vocals from recorded music so as not to interfere with the person’s singing voice. When the covers are all closed, the xboom Stage 301 is rated IPX4, which provides some waterproofing and protection from splashing water, making the product very conducive to outdoor use. This is a wonderful product, and I know I will use it to the max with my guitars, karaoke with the family, and just as a great portable speaker. I would give it six (6) stars if that were an option.
