Superb sound
Simple to set up via Bluetooth, sound quality is sharp and clear, but also providing a deep bass line when listening to a bit of D&B. The lights are a bit pointless but can be switched off if required. Battery life is perfect for a day out with friends.

Top sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being selected to take part in the campaign was great news. I was looking to buy a speaker for my daughter. Not that familiar with LG products I thought it would be good to give it a go. What a good decision, great sound with the added novelty of the light up ends as well. Great bit of kit

Review from a technophobe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't wait to try this speaker. I wanted it for my bedroom so I didn't have to keep trecking my other speaker up and downstairs.
The speaker is smaller and lighter than expected but I have since learned this makes for convenience of storage and fits well in my hand luggage. I usually like a heavier sturdier piece.
To set up and use the speaker an app is required. I found I did not use this once the speaker was paired but have to admit I didn't get to explore this much.
The sound volume was a little disappointing, not as loud as expected even with the sound boost but sound fairly clear. I connected to my smart TV and found considerable improvement on the base and high tones. I like it so much I have left it connected to the TV permanently.
A feature that I appreciate is being waterproof. I used it in the bathroom, it got splashed and this had no effect.
The battery life is as advertised, the longest I have used is a solid 12 hours, and it charges pretty quickly with the USB-C cable.
As for the price, I think its a little expensive but it's got excellent build quality and I am hopeful it will last for a few years to come.

Great little speaker.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well the reviews speak for itself, for a little speaker it packs a little punch. Sound quality is great, battery seems to pay for ever and was really easy to set up. Really happy with it and looking forward to family day out with a little music in the background or garden parties.
