Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the LG XG5QGR for its IP67 durability, vibrant app‑controlled LED lighting, and the ability to chain up to ten speakers, noting clear audio and respectable bass for its compact size. However, they caution that the bass lacks the depth required for bass‑heavy genres and that battery life suffers when lighting effects are active, making it less suitable for audiophile‑level listening.
What Users Say
Everyday users praise the speaker’s rugged construction, long battery endurance, and fun LED sync that enhances outdoor gatherings. Common complaints focus on thin bass performance and reduced playback time when the lights are on or the volume is maxed, with a few noting the relatively long charging period.
Common Complaints
Bass feels thin on EDM/hip‑hop tracks, battery drains faster with LEDs and high volume, and charging time of three to four hours is longer than some competitors.
