LG xboom Grab vs JBL Flip 7

The LG xboom Grab and the JBL Flip 7 are both outdoors-oriented portable Bluetooth speakers. They're both suitably rugged, with the JBL having the higher IP68 rating, but the LG has passed seven military-standard durability tests in addition to having an IP67 rating. In practice, these are both more than ready for a trip to the beach or poolside. The LG is a little larger and puts out a bit more bass, although the JBL has a notably louder max volume. The LG has a battery life that's about double the JBL's and also supports your phone's Siri or Google Assistant via its built-in mic. The LG is the better pick overall, but the choice may come down to your existing ecosystem, since both offer Auracast-powered Party modes with other speakers from their respective brands.
