Verdict

The LG XBOOM Go PL7 is a portable 2.0-channel Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring dual 2.3-inch woofers, side-facing passive radiators, and Meridian Audio tuning that delivers a total power output of 30W. Its core advantages include an exceptionally long battery life of up to 24 hours via its 3,900mAh battery, customizable multi-color LED ring lighting, an IPX5 water-resistance rating, and a built-in power bank feature through its USB-A port. However, its main drawbacks are its hefty weight of 1.46kg, a relatively long 5-hour charging time, and a sound profile that can sound muffled or lack high-end extension when the Sound Boost mode is turned off.
