LG, an American electronics tech giant, has released two new portable wireless speakers to its audio lineup: the Xboom Go XG8T and Xboom Go XG2T.

Both speakers are designed to be durable, small, and portable, making them ideal for travel. However, the former is in the luxury category, competing with Bose's SoundLink Max, and the latter is more cheap.

The Xboom Go XG8T, priced at $379, features a full-range woofer and two tweeters that work together to balance different frequencies and create outstanding sound.

Moreover, LG has a distinctive Sound Boost EQ option that improves sound quality, filling the room with boosted bass, natural mids, and crystal-clear voices.

The XG8T and XG2T are designated IP67 for weather resistance, making them perfect for pool parties and campfires.

The ultra-light XG2T weighs only 0.7 pounds, so users can easily transport it in their bags without worrying about unnecessary weight.

Moreover, the LG XG8T and XG2T come with comfortable and sturdy fabric adjustable straps.

Both speakers include lithium-ion batteries; LG claims that the XG2T can last up to 10 hours on a single charge, whereas, the premium XG8T can play for up to 15 hours. LG included multi-colour LED lights in the XG8T speaker, and the users can even customise them using the Xboom companion app.

LG Xboom Go XG8T starts at $379.99 (INR 31,746), whereas, the Xboom XG2T is $79.99.

LG's new speakers are now available for purchase on LG.com and authorised merchants. Both speakers are only available in black.
