Great sound. I paired two of them together and watch movies. They work amazing and the sound quality is superb.

May 7, 2025 Update. - I haven’t returned it. The app seems to be working now and no issues with the updates as well. I really do love the sound of this speaker. Now that I’ve had it a few weeks. Using it a lot. I honestly just love the sound quality. I mainly use it in a screened in porch, and it’s been perfect. Changing my 4 stars to 5. I’m happy with it. I’m really torn. Part of me loves this speaker (especially outside on my screened porch) and part of me is VERY aggravated by this speaker and its app. I might just return it, but I’ll use it a few more days before making up my mind. I’ve had to reset the app so many times because it doesn’t stay connected to the speaker, when it’s not connected to the app, the app wants to you connect it to Bluetooth even though it already is. Also, it keeps saying there is an update, yet every time I go through the update process it will just say it needs the same update. Frustrating! Because of its size, I thought it would be louder than it is. Sound quality is more important to me than loudness, but again, for its size and drivers, I really did expect it to get louder, but the sound quality is good. A few plus’s is the AI light feature is cool. It only has two light strips, but they do some pretty cool things. The battery seems to be pretty good too. So, this is why I’m so torn on if I’ll keep it or not. I’ve had it about a week now, and for the most part it’s a pretty decent speaker when the app works. I’d wait for a sale though. Hummmmmm…..

2 things hold this back from being a 5 star speaker. A) The treble is weak out of the box. You can turn it up in the LG ThinQ app and then it's great, but it just sounds rather muffled if you don't. B) The bass is weak in low volumes. Crank it up past 50% and you'll FEEL powerful deep tones vibrating through your body, but below that it lacks depth. These are both things they could address with a firmware update, so I hope they do. Other than my gripes seen above, this speaker sounds and works great, but also has a few things it does especially well: A) INSANELY LOUD. And sounds great while doing it. Most speakers like this limit the bass as you crank them up louder to prevent distortion. This one doesn't really do that (just a tiny bit as you approach 100%), and does not need to. It's unreal how much bass it puts out when turned up all of the way, while still sounding clean and clear. This makes it an top notch choice for a party speaker, even for larger spaces like a backyard. B) User removeable battery. You could buy extra batteries and get some seriously long playtime. Better yet, one day the battery will go bad, despite the rest of the speaker working fine. This means it can be easily replaced when that day comes, granting the speaker several more years of use, and greatly reducing e-waste. All in all, this is a solid choice at the price point, and I would recommend it over competitors' similar offerings.

Excellent sound quality! LG has put out an excellent product!

Amazing sound!! Excellent system for the price point. Sync's well with everything. The microphone quality is very nice as well. Highly recommend.
