Short answer: the B&O Beosound Level for better sound quality, the LG PN7 for the lower price. The B&O Beosound Level ranks #60 of 77 large speakers at $2250. The LG PN7 ranks #63 at $150, $2100 cheaper.
What the B&O Beosound Level gets right: Premium Scandinavian design with elegant domestic sculpture aesthetic. The catch: Not very deep bass, peaks in midrange.
What the LG PN7 offers: Exceptional 24-hour battery life, IPX7 waterproof, 106dB max volume, XBOOM remote app support, Wireless Party Link feature, stereo capable, USB-C charging, built-in microphone. Watch for: No deep bass.
Buy the B&O Beosound Level if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the LG PN7 if the price matters more than sound quality.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip both of these and look higher up the 77 large speakers instead.
If battery life is a priority, the LG PN7 is rated for 24 hours versus 16 hours for the B&O Beosound Level.
If water resistance matters to you, the LG PN7 at IPX7 (brief submersion) holds up far better than the B&O Beosound Level at IP54 (splashing).
