Short answer: the Soundboks 4 for output, the LG XL7 for value. The Soundboks is tied for the loudest battery-powered speaker with a removable 40-hour battery, but it is very large, not stereo and trails the top Partyboxes on neutrality and bass. The LG adds wheels, a handle and customizable lighting for about half the price, though its treble is recessed and its boosted upper bass is not as deep as a Partybox 310’s.
The case for the LG XL7: A wheeled stereo party speaker with an 8 inch woofer, a long battery, splash resistance, custom lighting, and app EQ. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Soundboks 4 lacks. The tradeoff: Careful placement and volume setting remain important for balanced sound.
Buy the Soundboks 4 at $1,199 for a battery-powered PA speaker, or the LG XL7 at $496.19 for a party speaker instead.
