Short answer: the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It ranks #21 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 4.2/5) at $84.99 and is still sold new; the LG Xboom XG7 ranks #105 (rated 2.4/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The LG Xboom XG7’s replacement, the LG Xboom Bounce, is rated 3.6/5 at $149.99.
The Soundcore Rave Neo 2 is the better-sounding option. An affordable waterproof party speaker with loud output, solid bass, a long battery, lights and linking with many speakers. It has an adjustable EQ, which the LG Xboom XG7 lacks. Watch for: Slight treble rolloff.
The LG Xboom XG7 is the longer-running, lighter pick. A waterproof party speaker with customizable LED lights, a long battery, and party linking with other LG speakers, now discontinued. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 18 for the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. At 6.2 lbs (2.8 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 at 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg). Watch for: Peaky midrange, rolled off treble.
Buy the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the LG Xboom XG7 is discontinued.
