Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: LG's XBOOM Bounce had acceptable overall sound quality - this model reproduces music and dialog reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The bass has good impact, and goes fairly deep, but is a bit prominent and tubby. Midrange is fairly even, but is somewhat congested, a bit hazy, and a touch grainy. Treble is fairly extended and is a bit smeared sizzly and the upper treble is muted. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience, and sounds somewhat congested. The two channel sound field extends somewhat above and a bit to the sides of the speaker enclosure and depth is flat. Individual instruments and voices are identifiable and have a two dimensional quality.

Volume:

Provides a substantial volume level in a medium sized room.
