According to our Bluetooth speaker expert
The LG XBOOM GO PL5 allows you to enjoy your favorite music wherever you go. Thanks to the water-resistant design, you can safely use the Bluetooth speaker outside all day. Because the battery of the speaker lasts up to 15 hours, you won't run out of power soon. When it gets dark, the integrated light effects provide extra atmosphere. You can make hands-free calls via the integrated microphone. If you want to listen to music without lights for a bit, you can switch off the lighting with the push of a button.

When LG launched its new series of bluetooth speakers, my curiosity was immediately aroused. The 3 speakers come under the name LG XBOOM GO containing the PL2, PL5 and PL7. The PL5 is the middle model of the 3 and is comparable in size to the JBL Flip. Like its bigger brother PL7, the PL5 has light rings on the side for atmospheric effects while listening to music.
First impression A compact, strong bluetooth speaker for on the go. That's the first thing that comes to mind when I unpack the PL5. The passive bass radiators on the side feel sturdy and the speaker has a capsule-shaped design. Behind the cover on the back I find the charging port and various buttons, for, among other things, connecting multiple speakers.
Volume/sound The sound that comes from the PL5 is powerful and great to listen to at home, outside in the park or in the garden. With the Sound Boost button on the top, the sound is even more powerful. When I want to add extra atmosphere in the evening, the light rings flash to the rhythm of the music. I may adjust this in the XBOOM GO app.
Take The speaker is not large and weighs just over half a kilo. I find it easy to take it to the park or beach because of this. The battery life is 18 hours with average use, so I don't run out of music quickly. This is at a volume of 50%.
To link You can connect up to 100 speakers via Wireless Party Link via the pairing button behind the cover. This is done via the pairing button behind the cover. The idea that it's possible is cool, but I don't want to connect 100 speakers together anytime soon. But maybe 2 or 3 if my friends have the same speaker. This way you create a more powerful sound.

You get nice sound from something that is not very big, but is almost as good as the larger types of speakers

The LG Xboom is a compact and handy device. You can easily take it with you everywhere and it is waterproof. The battery lasts a long time, so charging is something you can quickly forget. If you forgot to charge the device, don't worry, this is done quickly with the USB-C connection behind the cover on the back. The included app ensures that you can set everything in detail. For example, you can set the LEDs that flicker to the music to personal preference. It's a small thing, but the app is in English, not an insurmountable problem, but a Dutch version would be a plus.
