LG - XBOOM 360 Portable Bluetooth Omnidirectional Speaker - Burgundy

This is a very nice speaker. It was a gift and he loved it. It sounds nice. Looks nice and got some weight to it. We havent used it yet but ill add a picture so you can see the size. I also got a great deal on it. It came packaged well n in tact.

Daughter loved this Christmas gift. Sounds really good. It is a little heavy to be carrying around a lot but to move to one room or another or bring to a party is nice.

I love speakers. I have a bunch of them from jbl, sony, bose and a few of those amazon brand ones. Every time I've come across and LG speaker, there has always been a better alternative. Although this xboom 360 isn't the ends all, it does something that none of the speaker I have does. It truly gives a full 360 sound. I placed this in the center of living room and slowly walked all around it. I could not notice any difference in the sounds that were coming to my ears. First off, this thing is heavy. It's heavy and big. Please reference my picture. I can see it being a problem for someone to figure a location for this speaker, but on the other hand, I sorta like it's shape and looks. I put it on my backyard table and it also doubles as a great light at night. Speaking of lights, the unit has 3 light modes. Ambient, nature and party. I don't care for anything but the ambient. It's really nice at night when the speaker is in the middle of the table in the backyard. Second, is the app. I really like the app. It is easy to use and straight forward. You have the option to turn the unit on and off. You can switch between light modes. It also has an eq with preset eq or you can customize. Last, is sound. The sound is very good and for me, the bass hits hard. The only complaint would be that for a unit this size, I expected it to be louder. Not that it's not loud, just that with the size, I expected more. If you set the eq to "outside" it does get noticeably louder but if you use the custom, you lose that. If you plan on using this for a backyard bbq, it's perfect. If you want to have a dance party, you would need 2 units. And from the specs, it shows that you can hook up 2 units at once. I definitely recommend this speaker over any other brands at this price point, it's even better than the jbl extreme, which I really like.

The LG-Xboom 360 offers quality sound that would be good for your next party, it has a long battery life and strikingly unique design that make it stand out for other portable speakers makes this a good choice for music lovers who need a wireless speaker option with better than average sound quality. The Bad: Takes 4 hours to fully charge, A/C charger port is on the bottom of unit makes it’s awkward to connect in certain circumstances. Not water resistant. With easy instructions set up was a breeze with just adding device via Bluetooth to your phone and then download the LG-Xboom app. The simple to use app has E/Q presets or you can customize your E/Q settings. I used the Bass Boom preset which prompted me with a tip from the app to turn off any E/Q settings with Music steaming app you’re using for best results, I continued to use it without changing any settings on the music app which sounded great but after using the app’s suggestion of (in my case) turning off the Hip Hop preset in Amazon Music it was noticeably better. After trying some higher end music streaming options like 360 Reality Audio & Dolby Atmos encoded music and just wow! Those formats produced incredible sound especially Dobby Atmos, with clear crisp highlights and distortion free bass even at max volume. This speaker is design for outdoor use and has an outdoor EQ option that adjusted the sound very well when enabled. Some other good features are the speaker’s mood lighting, mic input with Karaoke options, pairing it with another LG-Xboom speaker possibility, DJ mode with sound effects via the app & a aux-in port. I used it for about 7 hours and still had 23% left on battery. This would be a good choice for folks who entertain people at home or like to throw parties and want something with a light and DJ mode.

The LG XBOOM 360 is awesome, simple as that, just awesome. I spent almost 4 hours listening through it last night, via battery, yes, battery, and tried everything from Frank Sinatra to Marshmallow and even added in some Country, Rap and Death Metal. I wanted to make sure all types of music were covered for my review. The best part of the XBOOM 360 is easy portability and placement. Placement can honestly be anywhere with the 360 sound design. No matter where you put it, center of room or against a wall and even in the corner, the sound travels fantastically and sounds great no matter what. The built in light is one of my more favorite features as well, high light, low light and rave setting, not really called rave but reminds me of my yesteryears at the clubs and warehouses. The weight of the speaker is not as bad as other reviews state, unless you cannot lift a gallon of milk, you will not have an issue moving it around, it is not heavy at all. The carry handle is a great feature making it even easier to place around the room, garage, campsite or if you link up multiple, your own warehouse party. The battery has an expected 10 hours of use, I seen 8.2 hours but that was on a new battery that has not been cycled yet. Also, charging is fast as well via the included wall plug that plugs in with a 90 degree angle making room for the top plug to be easily used still. Sound output is no different between plugged and battery until the battery gets in the last 5 to 10%, you may get a decrease in bass response, I noticed a little less boom. The sound output is clear and has great bass for such a small speaker. Highs are clear and clean, mids and vocals are easily understandable and smooth then the bass hit hard when it needs too yet does not distort. The bass will not his below 35hz, it more turns into a speaker flutter sound, so, heavy heavy bass is not going to be super hard hitting. I was able to make it sound better via the equalizer on my tablet I used to control the speaker. The Bluetooth connects easy and fast, no sounds cuts or issues at all. The unit also has a headphone input jack which is nice as a backup nowadays. The LG DJ app is insanely fun with this speaker as well, I thought it was a gimmick but after 30 minutes playing with the app I realized I was having way too much fun. Also, the app controls the lighting features as well, the light studio is easy to use and change it to what you want. I am pretty sure if you buy this speaker, you will want 2 of them so you can be the DJ for your party at the campsite or in your back yard.

It’s a great overall speaker the only issue I have is that it’s not waterproof rated and I got it for near our pool not a big deal because it is loud enough to be put far enough from pool

LG has created, in my opinion, a very unique portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers a strong sound, and solid bass all packed up in a semi hefty (less than 10 lbs.) package with a nice metal handle. That metal handle makes it easy to carry, and not very small, so you may not easily take it with you traveling depending on your space. The LED lighting is super cool, and you can adjust how it flashes with different colors or solid colors via the XBOOM app with the various modes such as Ambient, Nature, and party to help set the atmosphere. There is also a DJ Mode with a scratching feature so you can create some party sounds to your room. You can even use the sampler creator to record unique sounds and add them to the DJ mode. The app has an EQ mode where you can adjust the bass response and has an outdoor mode. The sound is really good, and it does live up to Its omnidirectional name. Placing the speaker in the middle of the room and walking around it provides equal sound and it appears to hit you the same from any angle. It’s a very impressive speaker and there appears to be settings in the app to connect more than one of these for even more sound, but I was not able to test that since I only have one. I really like the over-all design; it sits on the floor in my living room and blends in with the rest of the furniture. Battery life is rated at around 10 hours and that is my biggest gripe with this, I would think battery life could be much better than that. I recently had a power outage that lasted a few hours and I was able to use this as a light and that should be listed as a feature, it did come in very handy.

--- SETUP --- The setup for this portable speaker was quick. First, plug it in and let it charge for 5 hours. You can use it while it is charging. Once fully charged, you can unplug it from the wall and use it wirelessly for about 10 hours. --- FEATURES --- The key feature of this speaker is its 360 omnidirectional sound, mood lightning control, and DJ effects via the companion app. --- PERFORMANCE --- This speaker quickly became my favorite speaker to leave in my vehicle. I am a salsa/bachata instructor and as such, music is a big part of what I do. This speaker is the perfect combination of portability and sound power. For my private students, I love the wireless connection, as I can control the music from my iPhone or Apple Watch without having to go to the speaker. I use the DJ settings to keep students on beat, as one of the DJ settings (DRUM 1) is a cowbell. This is perfect to help students find the 1 or down beat on salsa songs. When I am not teaching salsa classes, I am at dance parties. These parties happen anywhere from other dancer homes to public parks. As previously mentioned, this speaker performs great indoors as well as outdoors. The app allows for customizations for the equalizer as well as lightning moods. There are three mood categories in the app: Ambient, Nature, and Party moods. Within each mood, you have three preselected lighting choices plus a 4th custom mode. I use part mode most often and I like “gorgeous night view,” which is a combination of blues, pinks, and yellows. Party mode has an additional switch to turn on/off a strobe light. It really sets a party vibe at our salsa parties. I occasionally play with the DJ settings for fun, but I spend most of my time dancing. --- EXPECTATIONS --- The speaker exceeds my expectations. There are many customization options for sound and mood lighting in the app. You can connect to the speaker via bluetooth, or via an auxiliary cable. You can even plug in a USB device. The speaker is somewhat heavy compared to others, but the wireless functionality makes it worth carrying around. There is a neat and sturdy handle to help. The buttons on the speaker allow you to control the volume, turn it off, or change audio input. You can also turn off the mood lighting if that’s not something you need. --- VALUE --- This speaker is worth the investment for its versatility. --- APPROVAL --- I highly recommend this product for people who love having parties and need an all-in-one device to create mood lighting and loud sound for indoor or outdoor use.
