Short answer: the B&O Beosound Level for better sound quality, the LG Xboom XG7 for the lower price. The B&O Beosound Level ranks #60 of 77 large speakers at $2250. The LG Xboom XG7 ranks #69 at $120, $2130 cheaper.
The case for the B&O Beosound Level: Premium Scandinavian design with elegant domestic sculpture aesthetic. The tradeoff: Not very deep bass, peaks in midrange.
What the LG Xboom XG7 gets right: Impressive 24-hour battery life. The catch: Peaky midrange, rolled off treble.
Buy the B&O Beosound Level if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the LG Xboom XG7 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 Xboom XG7 is rated for 24 hours versus 16 hours for the B&O Beosound Level.
If water resistance matters to you, the LG Xboom XG7 at IPX7 (brief submersion) holds up far better than the B&O Beosound Level at IP54 (splashing).
