Bose SoundLink Max vs LG xboom Bounce

The Bose SoundLink Max and the LG xboom Bounce have similar form factors, both being portable speaker options that can easily be slung in a backpack or handbag. The Bose is a better choice for music lovers, with a more balanced default frequency response with better bass extension, plus better directivity and dynamics performance. That said, if battery life is your biggest concern, the LG's 25-hour battery life might be a deciding factor. If you're a fan of hands-free controls, the LG also features rudimentary voice assistant support, allowing you to use the Siri or Google Assistant capabilities that come with your mobile device.
