Short answer: the Turtlebox Ranger. It ranks #62 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $250. The LG Xboom Grab ranks #106, rated 3.0/5, at $100.98, $149.02 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Turtlebox Ranger is the better-sounding choice. A very tough outdoor speaker with built in magnets for mounting it on metal surfaces. The catch: Bass sounds kind of thuddy and isn’t as deep as higher ranked speakers.
The LG Xboom Grab is the longer-running, lighter choice. A rugged waterproof speaker with elastic mounting straps, a long 20 hour battery, multipoint pairing and app room calibration. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 12 for the Turtlebox Ranger. At 1.5 lbs (680 g) it weighs much less than the Turtlebox Ranger at 2.4 lbs (1.09 kg). It has an adjustable EQ, which the Turtlebox Ranger lacks. The tradeoff: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers.
Buy the Turtlebox Ranger. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $149.02 saving on the LG Xboom Grab is not enough to make up the difference.
