LG BOUNCE 200W

The LG xboom Bounce is a portable Bluetooth speaker built as a long, low box wrapped in black woven fabric. A light bar runs the full width of the front edge and shifts through colours while music plays. Two circular drivers sit on the top surface, ringed in red, with the control buttons laid out in a line between them.

• Plays straight from your phone. A Bluetooth button on the top panel pairs the speaker to a phone or tablet, so nothing needs to be plugged in.
• Take it outside without a socket. The speaker has its own rechargeable battery, and the LG app shows the charge level as a percentage while you listen.
• Lighting you can set to match the mood. Nine motion effects in the app, including Wave, Glow, Flash and Breathing, plus an AI Lighting option that picks an effect based on what is playing.
• Link up with another xboom for a bigger sound. Party Link has its own button on the top and its own page in the app.
• Carry it in one hand. A fabric strap is bolted to the side with metal plates, so you can lift the whole speaker by it.
• Change tracks without picking up your phone. Power, volume up and down, play and pause, Bluetooth, Party Link and a heart shaped MY button are all on the top surface.

Sound presets, volume and lighting all sit on one screen in the LG app once the speaker is connected.
