LG - XBOOM 550W Speaker System - Black

In the box: The Speaker system, a remote(with batteries), power cable fm antenna and the usual paperwork. Specifications: Multi-point Bluetooth pairing, FM Radio, Karaoke Creator with Voice Filters, Dual 6.5-inch woofer, USB connection, LED display, Dance Lighting and weighs around 31lbs. Inputs/outputs: Audio line out, Aux in, Optical, Mic Jack. The Rk7 Xboom is a pretty rugged designed speaker system that has appropriate padding on all sides so that it may be used in a standing position or placed on its side (vertical/horizontal placement) which it detects.. It’s a bit heavier than expected but then again you don’t to move this around alot. On the right side of the speaker you will find the LED screen and a few buttons such as power on, play/pause, fast forward/rewind, volume up/down. All of these and more are also found on the supplied remote that came in the box. Towards the back of the speaker you will find the various inputs and output connections and the AC in port Specifically the USB port can be used for direct music playback from flashdrives as well it can charge your device. Listening to music through the system is above average. Sound is crisp and smooth and nothing seems to be loss over Bluetooth transmission from your device. This stands as a testament to the aptx HD feature built into the speaker. All music pushed through this system just comes out sounding great, not to mention it can get very loud without the bass falling off at all, kudos to LG for that. I tested the FM radio feature and it seems to be pretty regular and I was able to pick up most stations I usually do within the area. If you’re looking for good sounding speaker system with digital FM tuner, bluetooth, a built karaoke creator feature with strong sound out power , you can’t go wrong here. \

I was looking for a good size speaker that sounded well to bring to small event for church. This speaker has really impressed me with the sound quality, features and light effects. Plus it is light enough to carry between rooms without hurting your back. Pros - Great Sound Equalizer Lights Quality Features / Inputs Application Functionality Cons - Power Cord Length Remote Control Distance Lights Only On Speaker Side :: Setup :: The setup was very easy, pretty much plug in play using bluetooth. Installing / Launching the app it quickly detected the speaker connection and able to modify settings. I would recommend going through the Application for custom settings versus trying to use the pad on the top of the speaker :: Speaker :: The speaker itself has deep bass and high treble , no distortion at high level output however I have not tried maxing out to lvl 100 yet. The lights are a nice addition however wish they were on all sides of the speaker tower not just where the speaker is facing. The rubber touch pad at top of speaker is very nice as you can easily switch function input when needed to go to MIC or radio setting. You can lay the speaker on its side or have it standing up as a tower. Either position works without issues and you are still able to get to the rubber touch pad easily. The back of the speaker has Aux in / Out along with Optical in , MIC , USB and Antenna. I am very impressed with the inputs this speaker provides. :: Music Flow Application :: The application has a lot of features and functionalities that one can easily become lost when trying to navigate through all the settings. the Sound Effect option allows to go through Equalizer for custom sound setting. There is a lighting effect option as well to set how you wish the lights to flow with the music. There are a lot of different version which was fun to go through them all. The Function option allows to switch between all 5 methods easily and even allows for further customization under the settings option. There is a feature to set this speaker as a "Multi Mode" versus "Dual Mode" however I did not have additional speakers to test this. Overall I really enjoy this speaker and works great in medium size rooms. With the additional input features this allows it is a great buy for anyone looking for a good portable speaker for good size rooms.

I'll get to the review title right off the bat. For some strange reason, LG continues to NERF the USB shuffle function. There is only one option, shuffle, which will shuffle songs from all folders located on the USB stick. Why they don't have both shuffle all and shuffle folder option is beyond me. Most devices or players have both shuffle options. So say you want to listen to a genre of music you have on a folder within your USB stick, but you also have other folders with different music, you cannot shuffle just one folder. It will shuffle songs from all folders. Dumb, just dumb, LG. LG has been doing this for a while now. I have the FH6 and RK8 and both of those also lack folder shuffle option. As far as the RK7 compares to the older model FH6, the RK7 is a step back in many aspects. For one, the display is on one end of the unit. So no matter how you have the speaker oriented (horizontally or vertically), you cannot see the display when you are positioned in front of the speakers. Again, dumb, just dumb. The FH6 has the display running along the front edge, so no matter if the unit is horizontal or vertical, you can see the display. The FH6 also has the DJ controls and wheel on the unit, while the RK7 has the DJ wheel and effects buttons completely stripped from the unit. They are only available via the LG Music Flow app and that is for Android users only. So if you have an Apple phone/tablet you are outta luck. The older FH6 also had the ability to download and create your own sound effects and that option has also been stripped from the RK7. Here are some other features and options removed or changed on the RK7. Only one mic jack compared to two on the FH6. Strobe light in the middle of the unit not on the RK7. RK7 only has flashing lights over the two woofers. Voice canceller, key changer and USB record buttons that are on the FH6 are gone from the RK7. I also could not wirelessly link the RK7 to either the FH6 or the RK8 boom box. However, I could wirelessly link the RK8 boombox to the FH6. One aspect where the RK7 is better than the FH6 is connectivity. The RK7 has RCA analog in and out, where as the FH6 only has analog in. The RK7 also has optical in to connect to a TV and that is not available on the FH6 Now this might sound like a really negative review of the RK7, but if I didn't have the FH6 I wouldn't know what all has been changed or removed. The RK7 does have a good sound quality with strong bass. The bass capability might even be just slightly stronger than the FH6, which has larger speakers. The FH6 is rated at 600 watts compared to the RK7 550 watts. These watts are seriously inflated, but they are similar in power. FH6 may have slightly better clarity, but both have a user EQ that can be tweaked. I did notice that using the User EQ when you turn the RK7 off, then later turn it on, the sound is very thin with not much bass. If you go into the Music Flow app or to the EQ options on the unit and change to a pre-set EQ, then back to the User EQ, the sound becomes fuller with more bass again. Not sure if this is a glitch inherent to all RK7 units or not, but it's kind of annoying. If you have read this far you are probably surprised I gave the RK7 a 4/5. Again, standing on it's own, not being compared to the FH6, it's a good party speaker. It is basically designed to look like the smaller, portable PK7 and PK5. At the time of this review the RK7 is priced at a penny under $200 and that's the right price for this unit. I would never pay the $350 retail, but at the sale price it's a solid speaker. I would still recommend the FH6 over the RK7, but the FH6 is pretty hard to find now since it's a couple years older model wise.

I purchased the LG XBOOM after doing a lot of online research (Youtube). I have to give it up, this speaker really sounds good. The music is crisp, clear and when you hit the bass button get ready because those low notes will have you rockin!!! One of the reasons I gave this a 4 out of 5 is because I wished it had an internal battery. The second reason is because I wanted to keep turning it up but couldn't...maybe that's a personal issue though. Regardless

I bought two of these speakers(luckily on sale). I bought two because of the features the box describes and because of YouTube videos I watched about the ability to link them together. I am disappointed with the lack of ability of these speakers in several ways. So many features only work in certain conditions. If you use optical audio, you won’t get stereo sound because the speakers done recognize right and left in optical audio mode. You also can’t use a mic in optical audio mode. There’s also no app for IPhones which again limits your ability to utilize many of the features. The sound quality is good. I’m just disappointed with the features.

To be honest I didn't have high hopes for the speaker. but after playing with a few features and cranking up the volume. I am considering getting a second one for the multiple feature. 1. The bass is pretty good, but do remember this is a 6.5 subwoofer not a 12. 2. The options are much more than i realized. USB 64gb thumb drive works plugged right into the unit. 3. Party mode works well and love the way you can change the lights around depending on the mood. 4. This is pretty heavy so it actually doesn't rattle the floor. Will not tip over either. Can also be placed on its side for use. Changes the sound mode when this happens

with movie theaters (along with everything else)being closed we have been watching movies outside we ith a projector and an inflatable movie screen. For the sound we were running the DVD player through our home surround sound system,which ment hooking up all the speakers outside then unhook everything and bring back in. We started looking around for a stand alone system and decided this was it. This system is awesome. You get all the highs,mids and plenty of bass with none of the bass slaps and pops you some times get when playing movie audio. Bluetooth works great. We have noticed that some phones Bluetooth connection start to break up about 20' or so from speaker. Don't know if this is from certain phones or speaker though. We haven't used the karaoke set up on this unit so I can't comment on that but overall if its movies or music this unit is plenty loud and has excellent sound. Thinking of purchasing another one for the party chain capabilities during family cookouts. Go buy it,its definitely worth it

This speaker is definitely amazing starter karoake machine or house party speaker,Great product, worked perfect with my TV,Xbox and wireless microphone,Super Loud Check,Crisp Sound Check.
