The LG XBOOM Go PL2 is better suited to teenagers who want to be able to give their music better sound than listening to it on their laptop or phone, or for those who want a bit more oomph in the smaller rooms of their home. The speaker would sound a little lost in a bigger room but it’s not really built for that purpose. With the ‘Sound Boost’ on, the vocals are given a significant boost as is the bass and surprisingly the audio fills a smaller room fairly impressively. I listened to them all with the ‘Sound Boost’ feature off and the quality was fine but the volume substantially quieter, and at times a little muddier. I ran the speaker through a wide variety of genres from heavy beat-laden pop tracks like Little Mix’s ‘Sweet Melody’ and Steps’ ‘What The Future Holds’ through to the Country sounds of Carly Pearce’s ‘Show You Around’ and Mariah Carey’s latest festive hit ‘Oh Santa’ featuring Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson. You’d be forgiven for unboxing the speaker and expecting it to give mediocre sound due to its small size but actually the quality is impressive. You should also fully charge it before using it for the first time, which you can do by opening the panel on the right-hand side and connecting the AC adapter that comes with it. You literally take it out of the box, press the on switch and then pair your device.

One of the things I really like about this speaker it’s how simple it is to setup. Available in pink, yellow and blue, the speaker has a £49 price tag and it’s only 126mm wide, making it perfect for using on the go. That being said, the HomePod mini still has a pricey tag at £99 so it’s not exactly the most affordable speaker on the market.Ī speaker that aims for the lower end of the market, without compromising on sound, is the LG XBOOM Go PL2. Apple’s HomePod is dominating the higher end of the market and with the recent introduction of the HomePod mini, the tech giant is looking to dominate the lower end too. With more and more consumers turning to digital as their main way to listen music, the competition in the speaker market is booming.
