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 omnidirectional, which means it evenly outputs sound in a 360-degree field. The bass synth in erase me by Lizzy McAlpine sounds lush and full from all sides of the room.

Hold up! Something’s missing:

This section is typically where we display a frequency response chart to show you exactly where the audio output shines and where its deficiencies lie. We’re still ironing out our standardized speaker tests with the appropriate support equipment to update our testing and data collection. It will take a bit to get everything fleshed out, but we will update this review (and many others!) once we’re able with improved sound quality measurements and performance plots. These will be made obvious by an announcement explaining the change, and a new chart aesthetic.

Thank you for bearing with us, and we hope to see you again once we’ve sorted everything out.

If you wish the XBOOM 360 had more bass, you can make it so from the LG XBOOM app. The app’s EQ presets are set up for different music genres and, of course, there’s a bass boost setting as well. The app also includes a setting for listening to music outdoors that boosts the volume to make it more audible over background noise, though be wary of taking the speaker outside since it doesn’t have any water-resistant rating.
