Short answer: the Bogasing M5. It ranks #61 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $52.99; the LG Xboom Grab ranks #106, rated 3.0/5, and costs $100.98, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
Why pick the LG Xboom Grab: A rugged waterproof speaker with elastic mounting straps, a long 20 hour battery, multipoint pairing and app room calibration. The tradeoff: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers.
The Bogasing M5 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A compact, backpack friendly speaker with very long battery life and USB-C charging at a budget price. Its bass reaches about 61Hz before falling 10dB, against 75Hz for the LG Xboom Grab. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 20 for the LG Xboom Grab. It keeps a wired aux input, which the LG Xboom Grab lacks. The tradeoff: Front/rear driver configuration.
Buy the Bogasing M5. It is rated higher for sound quality than the LG Xboom Grab and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
