LG XBoom XO2T Bluetooth Speaker Review: Sonic Boom Performance with Wireless Connectivity

Here’s the rewritten content:

The LG XBoom XTO2 is a sleek and stylish portable speaker that’s sure to turn heads. But does it live up to its promise of delivering top-notch audio and a premium listening experience? I spent two weeks putting it through its paces to find out.

At first glance, the XTO2 looks like a high-end speaker, with its teardrop shape and sleek design. And when you turn it on, the mood lighting and subtle pulsing effects really make it stand out. But it’s not just about looks – the speaker itself is surprisingly powerful, with plenty of volume on tap and a surprisingly clear sound that stays crisp even at higher volumes.

One of the standout features of the XTO2 is its ability to deliver rich, detailed sound with plenty of low-end punch. It’s not quite audiophile-grade, but most people will be impressed with the level of quality on offer. The high-end is a bit dull, but that’s a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent performance.

Of course, no portable speaker is complete without some clever features, and the XTO2 delivers. You can customize the lights and audio settings using the LG XBOOM app, which is easy to use and offers plenty of options to tailor the experience to your taste.

So, is the LG XBoom XTO2 worth the investment? If you’re looking for a premium portable speaker that’s easy to use and sounds great, then yes – it’s definitely worth considering. The asking price of $199.99 / £199.99 (about AU$300) is a bit steep for some, but if you’re willing to splurge, you’ll be rewarded with a speaker that’s sure to impress.

Value: 4/5

Buy it if:

* You want a premium-looking portable speaker that sounds great
* You’re willing to invest in a high-quality listening experience
* You want a speaker that’s easy to use and customize

Don’t buy it if:

* You’re on a tight budget
* You’re looking for a super-compact speaker that’s easy to carry around
* You’re not willing to invest in a premium listening experience

* Ultimate Ears Everboom: A more affordable option with similar features
* Sonos Roam 2: A higher-end option with more advanced features and better sound quality

How I tested the LG XBoom XTO2

* Tested for 2 weeks
* Listened to all sorts of genres of music as well as podcast and streaming video
* Predominantly tested using high fidelity streaming through Deezer and Podcast app on an iPhone 13

I spent two weeks testing the LG XBoom XO2T, having listened to all sorts of genres of music through the HiFi tier of the Deezer streaming app as well as watching some YouTube videos and listening to some podcasts through the iOS Podcast app. I also played around with the LG XBOOM app, to test all the features including customizing the lights and audio.

The LG XBoom XO2T, after all is said and done, seems to be made for those that don’t want to pay quite the premium prices of Bang & Olufsen or Bose, but still want a quality speaker that looks as good as it sounds.
