Short answer: the Minirig 4. It ranks #7 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.3/5, at $229.95. The LG Xboom Grab ranks #106, rated 3.0/5, at $100.98, $128.97 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Minirig 4 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. A small, long lasting speaker that gets loud and can add a matching subwoofer, with a 30 hour battery. Its bass reaches about 56Hz 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. Watch for: Calls itself splash resistant and has no official water rating.
The LG Xboom Grab is the tougher choice. A rugged waterproof speaker with elastic mounting straps, a long 20 hour battery, multipoint pairing and app room calibration. It is rated IP67 against Splash resistant for the Minirig 4. The tradeoff: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers.
Buy the Minirig 4. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $128.97 with the LG Xboom Grab does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
