Short answer: the W-King D8. It ranks #61 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 3.5/5) at $69.98 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 W-King D8 is the better-sounding option. An affordable stereo boombox with four drivers, waterproofing, and a long battery for backyard and beach playlists.
Why pick the LG Xboom XG7: A waterproof party speaker with customizable LED lights, a long battery, and party linking with other LG speakers, now discontinued. It links with other speakers (Wireless Party Link, up to 10 speakers), which the W-King D8 cannot. The catch: Peaky midrange, rolled off treble.
Buy the W-King D8. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the LG Xboom XG7 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
