Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about LG XBOOM 360 RP4

  • Excellent 360-degree omnidirectional sound that fills large rooms and outdoor spaces evenly
  • Strong, punchy bass and high volume levels ideal for social gatherings and parties
  • Attractive, modern aesthetic with a unique vase-like design that blends well with home decor
  • Fun, customizable built-in mood lighting with multiple presets controlled via the companion app
  • Solid, premium build quality that feels durable and stable
  • Good connectivity options including seamless Bluetooth pairing, USB playback, and an AUX input
  • Convenient top aluminium handle making it easy to pick up and move around

What customers don't like about LG XBOOM 360 RP4

  • Heavy and bulky form factor (weighing nearly 6kg) which limits true on-the-go portability
  • Complete lack of formal water and dust resistance (no IP rating), making it vulnerable to bad weather
  • Buttons on the top control panel sit flush, making them difficult to distinguish by touch alone
  • Sound can become slightly muffled or excessively boomy in the midrange depending on the placement and EQ settings
  • Mono audio delivery provides room-filling scale but lacks precise stereo imaging separation

Verdict

The LG XBOOM 360 RP4 is an omnidirectional portable Bluetooth speaker delivering 120W RMS of power through a 1-inch titanium horn tweeter and a 5.25-inch fiberglass woofer. It features a unique lantern-like conical design with customizable 360-degree LED mood lighting, a built-in metal handle, and connectivity via Bluetooth, 3.5mm AUX, and USB. Its primary advantages include true room-filling 360° sound distribution, vibrant visual preset modes, and a rechargeable battery providing up to 10 hours of playtime. However, its drawbacks include a heavy 5.8 kg footprint that limits true outdoor portability, a lack of official water or dust resistance ratings, and occasional bass distortion or slightly muffled mid-range performance at maximum volumes.
