Our Verdict

LG xboom Bounce

LG xboom Grab

The LG xboom Grab and the LG xboom Bounce are similar speakers, both designed in collaboration with will.i.am. They're both very portable and feature IP67 ratings against water submersion and dust damage, but have different strengths otherwise. The Bounce features a longer 25-hour battery life and can playback stereo content without downmixing to mono. It can also get quite a bit louder, without compressing as much at max volume. That said, the Grab has much better bass extension, resulting in a fuller sound overall.
