Short answer: the W-King D9, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #98 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 2.5/5) at $89.98 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. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 120 large speakers; for better sound, the Tribit Stormbox Lava ranks #3 at $139.99.
The W-King D9 is the longer-running, lighter pick. A compact, punchy boombox with a very long rated battery, water resistance, and power bank output for casual outdoor use. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 24 for the LG Xboom XG7. At 4.4 lbs (2 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the LG Xboom XG7 at 6.2 lbs (2.8 kg). Watch for: Treble rolls off early, limiting air and fine detail, while owner reports note Bluetooth interference and some noise at maximum speaker volume.
The case for 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 D9 cannot. The tradeoff: Peaky midrange, rolled off treble.
Buy the W-King D9. It is rated higher for sound quality; the LG Xboom XG7 is no longer sold new.
