Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used, though neither ranks well in its class. Used, the Bogasing S8 Pro is the better pick: it ranks #100 of 126 large speakers by sound quality (rated 2.7/5), against #111 (rated 2.4/5) for the LG Xboom XG7. If you want one new, the Bogasing S8 Pro Max replaces the Bogasing S8 Pro and is rated 4.2/5 at $169.99. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 126 large speakers; for better sound, the Tribit Stormbox Lava ranks #3 at $139.99.
The Bogasing S8 Pro is the better-sounding, lighter choice. A compact stereo speaker with splash resistance, USB-C charging, microSD playback, and stereo pairing, now discontinued. At 3.4 lbs (1.55 kg) it weighs much less than the LG Xboom XG7 at 6.2 lbs (2.8 kg). Watch for: Its sound modes are the limiting factor: most have large treble peaks that make cymbals and sibilants sound sizzling or harsh, while even Vocal mode is only moderately balanced.
The LG Xboom XG7 is the longer-running, tougher pick. A waterproof party speaker with customizable LED lights, a long battery, and party linking with other LG speakers, now discontinued. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Bogasing S8 Pro. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Bogasing S8 Pro. It links with other speakers (Wireless Party Link, up to 10 speakers), which the Bogasing S8 Pro cannot. The tradeoff: Peaky midrange, rolled off treble.
Buy the Bogasing S8 Pro only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, buy the Bogasing S8 Pro Max, which replaces the Bogasing S8 Pro.
