Short answer: the LG Xboom Go PL7 ranks #70 of 77 large speakers by sound quality at $70; the Doss Extreme Boom ranks #75 at $69.99. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.
On the LG Xboom Go PL7 side: 24-hour impressive battery life, detailed sound with nicely balanced bass and bright character. Set against that: 9khz peak.
What the Doss Extreme Boom offers: 60W output power, exceptional 30-hour battery life, power bank function, IPX7 waterproof, MicroSD card support, dual drivers with passive radiator, TWS stereo pairing, USB-C charging, built-in microphone. Watch for: Rolled off treble, barely any bass.
Buy the LG Xboom Go PL7 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Doss Extreme Boom 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.
