Short answer: the Soundcore Boom 2. It ranks #10 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 4.5/5) at $99.99 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 Soundcore Boom 2 is the better-sounding, lighter pick. A light, waterproof large speaker with deep bass for its size, a 24 hour battery and fun lighting. At 3.7 lbs (1.68 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the LG PN7 at 4.7 lbs (2.14 kg). It links with other speakers (PartyCast 2.0 up to 100 speakers), which the LG PN7 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the LG PN7 lacks. The tradeoff: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters.
The case for the LG PN7: A waterproof stereo speaker with a long battery, loud maximum volume, and party linking with other LG speakers, now discontinued. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Soundcore Boom 2 lacks. Watch for: The two 63mm woofers cannot produce deep bass, so it sounds thin for its size.
Buy the Soundcore Boom 2. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the LG PN7 is discontinued.
