i'm using xboom too and looked into the stage 301 before. fits your budget and seems perfect for pool parties.

I’m currently trying out the LG xboom stage 301 and it plays mp3 off a usb stick.

I reviewed the bigger one the Stage 301, it has a 3.5mm stereo input. A wired input is preferable as Bluetooth always has a delay.

Bluetooth on everything has a delay, it’s not huge but when beatmatching it’s very noticeable.

How about the LG xboom Stage 301. Water resistant, pole mountable, aura cast to link with other speakers and definitely loud enough.

Have you looked at the LG stage 301? I compared it to the motion boom plus recently and it is so much better sounding.

Nice vid! Have you tried any LG XBOOM speakers? The Grab, Bounce, and Stage 301 are pretty solid for their price ranges.

LG xboom Stage 301 is worth checking out. It gets loud enough for open spaces like the beach, and the sound holds up well even at higher volumes. You can adjust the EQ using the app, and it’s built to be portable with a detachable battery and durable design.

honestly i might be a bit of an xboom fanboy at this point lol. got the grab, bounce, and stage 301 over the past couple years and they've all held up solid. probably overkill but here we are.

i use a couple lg xboom speakers in my backyard (grab and bounce) and linking them works pretty well for coverage. different setup than a living room but if price is tight it's worth considering.

Depends on what you want! LG Xboom lineup. Bounce is better if you like bass-heavy tracks, grab is great for portability, and Stage 301 is the one to go for when you want it loud outdoors.

I have a LG xboom Stage 301, it has somewhere between 30-50ms delay (tested it myself). Unless you're coupling with a 0-delay PA or vinyl beat matching by ear to headphones, that delay is low enough to not be noticeable. Pretty great DJ speaker for the price, can rock a 20 person party easily. The lights aren't sound reactive when wired connection though. If you're spending Soundboks money, Id rather get an Elektrovoice Everse 8 or a QSC CB10, should sound a bit better and have a better mixer/scaleability.

Better separation comes from multiple things put together, like: \-Physical separation. If you have a sub sitting on the floor, then top speakers playing mids and highs and you position these higher up, you'll get a more pronounced vertical sound field. \-Speakers with one woofer that has to play the whole frequency spectrum will have less separation than a 2-way speaker, which will have less separation than a 3-way system with a subwoofer, mid driver and tweeter. \-Stereo field helps, but it seems you already have good stereo since you have two identical speakers. However, it could be that you are playing both in mono! So doublecheck if they're actually playing in stereo. \-Speakers that are running with more headroom will have to squash things together (compress) less to reach the desired volume. Personally I'm not that much a fan of the JBL partybox series, they don't sound that detailed to me...I prefer my LG xboom Stage 301. But this may be a tiny upgrade or sidegrade from your point of view so I wouldn't bother with that. So yeah, what should you do? If you've got the money, get a lil portable battery like a Jackery and some regular powered PA speakers secondhand somewhere. Will be heavier in total, but not that much more cumbersome than Partyboxes.

SoundsGuys finally touching the XBOOM line is kinda nice because those things usually get ignored unless someone’s blasting one at a cookout. If your pain point is basically “are these things actually good or just loud?” the review pretty much lines up with what most of us already know: * They’re fun, bassy, and built to survive parties, not audiophile testing labs. * Mids/vocals are kinda whatever. * Battery life is decent but not legendary. * And yeah, LG leans hard into the light show + boom vibe. If that’s what you’re after, cool they deliver exactly that energy. If you were hoping for some neutral, studio-monitor-level clarity… yeah, probably not. But at least SoundGuys didn’t sugarcoat it. They basically said what everyone who’s used an XBOOM already knows: it’s a party box first, a speaker second and that’s not a bad thing if that’s the lane you’re in.

LG XBOOM or the Sony equivalent. I bought something similar for the shop at work last year.
