Short answer: the JBL Partybox 130 for the more neutral balance. The LG XL7 has wheels and a handle, but its treble is recessed, its bass is not as deep as a Partybox 310 and its upper bass is boosted. The JBL is convenient to move as well, though it is boomier and less clear than the Partybox 120 and priced high.
Buy the JBL Partybox 130. It is rated higher for sound quality; the LG XL7 is no longer sold new.
