What should you get instead of the LG XBOOM 360?

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 to its two combination XLR and 1/4-inch inputs. Like the LG XBOOM 360, the SOUNDBOKS (Gen. 3) can connect wirelessly to other speakers of its kind for simultaneous playback. The SOUNDBOKS (Gen. 3) is more than $700 USD more expensive than the LG XBOOM 360, though, so make sure you really do want those extra features before dropping your next paycheck on it.

Another large speaker alternative is the UE Hyperboom, an IPX4-rated Bluetooth monster. The speaker has plenty of convenient features like dual Bluetooth, auxiliary, and optical inputs, Adaptive EQ, and a One-Touch Music Control feature that makes it easy to seamlessly play your favorite playlist. You can get the UE Hyperboom on Amazon for about $450.
