Short answer: the Marshall Stockwell III. It ranks #84 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 3.0/5) at $249.99 and is still sold new; the LG PN7 ranks #95 (rated 2.7/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Marshall Stockwell III is the longer-running, lighter choice. A stylish, rugged speaker with a very long battery you can swap yourself, a detailed app EQ, and power bank charging. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 24 for the LG PN7. At 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg) it weighs much less than the LG PN7 at 4.7 lbs (2.14 kg). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the LG PN7 lacks. The catch: Highs are recessed by default and need the treble control maxed to compensate, still lacking detail even then.
The LG PN7 is the tougher pick. A waterproof stereo speaker with a long battery, loud maximum volume, and party linking with other LG speakers, now discontinued. It is rated IPX7 against IP55 for the Marshall Stockwell III. The catch: The two 63mm woofers cannot produce deep bass, so it sounds thin for its size.
Buy the Marshall Stockwell III. It is rated higher for sound quality; the LG PN7 is no longer sold new.
