Short answer: the Ultimate Ears Megablast for better sound quality, the LG PN7 for the lower price. The Ultimate Ears Megablast ranks #61 of 77 large speakers at $240. The LG PN7 ranks #63 at $150, $90 cheaper.
On the Ultimate Ears Megablast side: Alexa integration (Wi-Fi + Bluetooth). Set against that: Bass is not very deep compared to the competition.
What the LG PN7 gets right: Exceptional 24-hour battery life, IPX7 waterproof, 106dB max volume, XBOOM remote app support, Wireless Party Link feature, stereo capable, USB-C charging, built-in microphone. The catch: No deep bass.
Buy the Ultimate Ears Megablast if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the LG PN7 if the price matters more than sound quality.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip both of these and look higher up the 77 large speakers instead.
If battery life is a priority, the LG PN7 is rated for 24 hours versus 16 hours for the Ultimate Ears Megablast.
