37 LG xboom 360 lite

Overview LG xboom 360 lite Inside the box you get the XBOOM 360 XO3 speaker itself, a USB-C charging cable, a small strap and a quick start guide.  This doesn’t look like your standard Bluetooth speaker. It has an attractive vase design with a fabric finish and feels well made. It is a sizable speaker and weighs 3.2 kg, but with its upright design it doesn’t take up much space and should blend nicely into most home interiors. You can see its dimensions on screen. Without attaching the included strap, there’s no obvious way to pick it up, but I tend to carry it around from the top lighting section. To attach the fabric strap you need to remove the rubber plug concealing the strap hole, unscrew the strap button and then feed the strap through the hole before screwing the button back on. Thoughtfully the rubber bung can be stowed in a recess underneath the speaker. The speaker has an IP54 water and dust resistan...

The first thing you need to know about the LG XBOOM 360 is that it’s freaking huge. It weighs in at 5.8kg and is 51.3cm tall. LG considers this speaker portable, which is a bit of a stretch. While you can move it around with the metal handle, and take it out of the house thanks to the large battery, I can’t imagine anyone happily lugging it around. The speaker’s design looks extraterrestrial, with a conical shape I quite like, though not everyone will. Its lantern looks nice and sits directly above the speaker’s woofer.

How does the LG XBOOM 360 sound? Download the LG XBOOM for full control over your speaker. The LG XBOOM 360 gets really loud, which is to be expected considering its size. Unlike a lot of Bluetooth speakers, this one sounds great at all volumes. The speaker houses a 1-inch titanium tweeter and a 5.25-inch glass fiber woofer. A multi-driver system like this can produce different frequency ranges with similar relative loudness (which makes your music sound good). Lows, mids, and highs Even in an instrumentally busy song like  Baby Jade  by Slightest Clue, the different instruments are easy to hear because of how the woofer handles the bass and mids, leaving the tweeter responsible for the treble. The bass is definitely loud, but you can still make out the guitar licks, and the bassline doesn’t mask the vocals. The XBOOM 360 may look funky but it sounds really good. This speaker is omnid...

What should you get instead of the LG XBOOM 360? If you want to spend less and are looking for something more portable and weatherproof, check out the JBL Charge 5. Though it doesn’t come with any fun light displays, the Charge 5 has great sound quality and bass response for such a little speaker. It is IP67 rated, so you can drop it in the pool and it shouldn’t cause any changes to its performance or sound quality. The Charge 5 retails for roughly $179, but you can also look into JBL’s refurbished program for cheaper options. The SoundBoks (Gen. 3) has two bass drivers and one tweeter. If you’re looking for something a bit more versatile, albeit very large, check out the SOUNDBOKS (Gen. 3). This thing is basically a portable PA system that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. It also works as a microphone amplifier or a direct input for an instrument thanks ...

Performance LG xboom 360 lite The biggest feature of the XBOOM 360 is its omnidirectional sound. This really works as you’ll hopefully hear in the sound tests shortly. You can position the speaker wherever you like and as you move around the room the output from the speaker barely changes. You don’t get the same sound stage you would from a more conventional speaker this size with stereo speakers, but the Xboom 360 sounds good. There’s lots of clarity in the mids and highs. It doesn’t have the thumping bass of some other speakers I’ve tested in a similar category, but for most music it sounds well balanced and I think a lot of people will like how it sounds. It has 50W of total output with its 25W mid-range woofer and 25W bass woofer. Even at maximum volume there’s little distortion although I found it more comfortable at around 75% volume in most cases. Using a sound level meter one metre from the spea...
