    The store was in disarray when i was there. I had to ask an employee for a price check, as all of the blue tooth speaker price tags were scattered everywhere. I was told the one I wanted was $199, so I ordered it since they didn't have it in stock. When it arrived a week later, it wasn't the one I was told I was ordering. Now that Christmas is only a few day away, i was forced to accept it. This will likely be my last purchase from Best Buy.

    This only turned on one time and when I went to use it again the power would not work, after searching issues I saw this is more common and so it was returned. Unhappy purchase.

      Hi there. Thank you for reaching us. I'm so sorry to hear that you were disappointed to discover that your LG RNC5 system doesn't have a battery backup feature as you had expected. I can understand how frustrating it must be to feel misled about a product's capabilities.

    Overall it’s a pretty decent speaker. The app is pretty fun to play with the sound effects. It looks great but isn’t super portable like some others are. I would buy it again.

    Good enough for the price

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am glad that I can make adjustment to the sound, but I still would like it louder. This was purchased for a 3-car bay workshop and being in Texas it's too hot at times for ear buds. I bought this instead of a higher end sound system because it's a garage. For the price it is worth it and I would purchase it again.

    The worst purchase ever

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Sound quality is awful. All bass. No clarity. Just mush. A sound system half this price has more power and quality of sound. I bought it directly from LG and they do not accept returns. Also it does not have battery.

      Hi there. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the LG XBoom Audio System (RNC5). We understand your concern regarding the sound quality, and it didn’t meet your expectations. The system is designed with Bass Blast to enhance low frequencies, but if you prefer more clarity, we recommend adjusting the equalizer settings to balance the sound to your liking.

      Additionally, regarding the missing battery, the model does include an FM antenna, remote control, and user manual, but it appears the battery may not have been included in your unit. We recommend contacting Best Buy directly for assistance with missing accessories.

    Horrible customer service

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased the item as a gift, recieves package with missing items and speaker not working. The only option was to return the speaker and they will not honor the price since it was on sale at the time of purchase and will not do an exchange. Best Buy is really starting to go downhill with their customer service support.
