Customer Ratings & Reviews

The LG XBoom XL5 is an absolutely fantastic speaker. It is a bluetooth speaker that features a 6.5 inch subwoofer and 2 2.5 inch tweeters. It is 200 watts, and when you turn it up you can really feel the power of this thing. It also feature a customizable ring light around the speaker and two strobe lights on top and bottom. The lights are customizable using the XBoom smartphone app. It also features a few inputs around back, including USB, Mic, and Guitar. The mic and guitar are interesting inclusion, allowing it to be used as a karaoke machine or guitar amp. It is billed as a portable speaker, but it is quite heavy. Maybe 20 pounds or so, and there are no wheels or anything to make moving it around any easier. It does have handles, which help, but I really would have liked to see wheels. Performance is where this speaker really shines. It sounds amazing, even at full volume. There is practically no distortion or anything even at loud volumes, really making this the perfect party speaker. I really can't think of anything bad to say about this speaker. It is missing a few things I would like to see, like wifi, airplay, and the aforementioned wheels, but none of these exclusions take away from the overall experience I've had with this speaker. It gets an easy 5 stars from me. You really can't go wrong with this speaker.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my adult son. He was very pleased with the sound, the volume, and the app and the abilities the speaker has for changing colors and letting him DJ. His favorite gift this year.

The LG XBOOM XL5 Portable Tower Party Speaker is a lot of fun. I got this for our youngest daughter to take to college. Although the word "portable" in the title is accurate (mostly thanks to the built-in handle grips), the speaker is large and relatively heavy, so I'd view it more as "luggable" than "portable." For instance, it would be fine to take out to the back deck or pool, but you would not want to have to carry it to the beach and back. That said, the XL5 is a terrifically fun speaker with great sound. The pulsing light has a few different settings, accesible in the app. You can also customize the sound. I should note the heft of the speaker really helps it shine when it comes to rich sound and, if you like, thumping bass. Regardless, the sound is clear and clean. It doesn't get muddied in the low ranges, and it doesn't distort when you crank the volume. I was really impressed with the sound. In addition to the pulsing lights, another fun party trick is that the XL5 has a built in mic jack so you can sing karaoke. Of course, you can tune the sound to better match the song or your voice. Even more fascinating to me is that the XL5 has a guitar jack, which is just awesome. So in one device, you get a great party speaker, a karaoke machine, and a guitar amp. I wish I had that in college!

This speaker was really to setup right out of the box. Plug it in, turn it on and connect it to your device. The LG XBOOM iOS app also works really well and has a mechanism to update the speaker’s software. The sound via Bluetooth is just amazing - the bass really pops too. You can change all the settings via the app as well and even turn the really cool light show on and off. There is also a strobe party feature that will flash the flashlight on your phone in sync with the music and it’s really cool. Overall, it comes down to sound quality and you get a really clear, crisp sound via Bluetooth. The Sound Boost mode also really packs a punch when playing music. Overall, I really like this speaker. It also just looks really sharp in style and functionally had a really strong feeling handle to transport it. It also just feels like a premium device and the back cover looks like it will do a great job of keeping out dust, sand, and liquid. It also comes with a clip on noise filter to reduce electromagnetic interference if you want to go the wired route instead of Bluetooth. I highly recommend this speaker for anything from music to even outdoor movies.

EXCELLENT FOR PICNIC PARTY AND VIDEOKE/KARAOKE!SOUND IS EXCELLENT!

Sound is great! Kids love the lights. It's super heavy, so if you need to bring it into, for example, a locker room for pre-game jams. Just be aware your arm will fall asleep carrying it in.

This is a good speaker with great quality sound.i would recommend purchasing,

In general it is a good speaker for the size I expected a little more sound meets the characteristics of the manufacturer
