Verdict

The LG XBOOM Go PN1 is an ultra-portable, 3-watt RMS mono Bluetooth speaker equipped with a 1.5-inch woofer and passive bass membranes, weighing approximately 210–222 grams. Its main characteristics and pros include an integrated mounting clip for outdoor travel, an IPX5 water-resistant design that survives splashes, a 3.5mm AUX input alongside USB-C charging, and support for Dual Play stereo linking and voice commands via Google Assistant or Siri. However, its primary cons are a relatively short 5-hour battery life from its 730mAh battery that takes 3 hours to charge, and a notable lack of deep low-frequency bass due to its compact form factor.
