Score: 84/100Rankings
The LG XG9QBK XBOOM Go offers dual 4.5-inch carbon woofers, stage lighting and a rugged IP67 build with up to 24 hours of battery life, making it a strong party-ready speaker. Its heavyweight, mono sound and less-deep bass may deter users seeking lightweight stereo performance. Ideal for loud outdoor events where visual flair and endurance matter.
The MEGABOOM 4 is a rugged cylindrical speaker delivering 360° sound and thundering bass with a 20-hour battery and IPX7 waterproofing. Its bulkier weight, lack of USB-C charging, and occasional dropouts limit ultra-portable use. Best suited for party hosts and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize volume and durability.

Professional reviewers describe the LG XG9QBK as a solid, party-ready speaker with crystal-clear highs, detailed mids, and surprisingly loud bass for its driver size. They applaud its industry-leading 24-hour battery, IP67 durability, and synchronized lighting, while noting the mono output, recessed mids, and heavyweight as trade-offs. Overall, they view it as a top choice for loud, outdoor gatherings where visual flair and endurance matter more than audiophile fidelity.
Everyday owners overwhelmingly praise the speaker's powerful, crisp sound, long-lasting battery, and rugged IP67 build, often highlighting the fun stage lighting and convenient handle. The most common complaints revolve around its heft, mono sound, and a bass profile that leans toward upper-mid frequencies rather than deep sub-bass.
Professional reviewers commend the MEGABOOM for its richer bass, balanced treble, and robust IPX7 waterproofing, noting its superior 360° sound dispersion and long battery life. However, they also criticize its bulkier, heavier form factor and the lack of modern USB-C charging or built-in EQ controls, which limit its portability and fine-tuning capabilities.
Everyday users rave about the thundering bass, all-day battery life, and the speaker's ability to float and survive drops, making it a party favorite. Recurring complaints focus on the weight, occasional Bluetooth dropouts at long range, and the absence of an app-based EQ for sound customization.
