XG9 Xboom Go
A beast of a "portable"…

I was very excited to get my hands on the LG XG9 Xboom go. There is a flood of speakers out there from known and unknown companies. I like staying with companies I know, and I love the LG products I have.
I am glad the speaker has a heavy duty handle because it weighs close to 16 lbs and 20 inches wide. With that weight, I set my expectations high. It's a solidly built speaker. There are 2 woofers on either side, and I believe one cone-shaped tweeter in the housing (had to research that). ON the top is power, Bluetooth, volume up/down, play/pause, sound boost, and lighting buttons. The woofers light up, and there is a circle on the rear which is stage lighting, both which provide some atmosphere. It states the battery lasts for 24 hours. The XBOOM Go app gives access to what the buttons do and more. If you don't EQ your source, you can use the built-in EQ which has 3 settings - standard, sound boost, or custom EQ with 6 individual slides. There are several lighting settings. You can link up to 10 speakers for partying. It's dust/water resistant with an IP67 rating.
This speaker gets pretty loud for a Bluetooth speaker. I'm a metalhead, so that music pushes volume and bass, and the XG9 delivers. I found the cleanest sound was flat source and internal EQ. I EQ'd Spotify, and it got a bit louder with a little more bass, but some of the clean sound got buried in it. Don't get me wrong, still sounded great. For a 1 channel/2 way speaker, I was very impressed with the overall sound. The bass is very impressive, the highs crisp and clean. It's a very nice rich sound. I can imagine pairing 2 of these in stereo mode. I went outside to test connection distance, and it stayed connected for a much further distance than I was expecting.
YEs it's portable with the handle, and it's worth packing along and taking if size isn't a huge issue. For a single Bluetooth speaker, this thing rocks. I highly recommend the LG XG9 Xboom Go.
