The LG X Boom Cube is a well-made and effective speaker that delivers compelling sound

LISTENING to music can shift our mood and energy level and help us overcome feelings of sadness and stress. Good music is also the soul of any great party, and for the good music to play out to create the right mood one needs a music system that lives up to the need of the hour. This is where the South Korean consumer electronics major LG comes to the rescue—its latest Portable X Boom Cube speaker (OM4560) gives users a great sound experience and create the perfect music environment for all your moods. The system comes in an attractive deep black colour and it will blow your mind, not your budget; the X Boom Cube is not frightfully expensive and carries a modest price tag of R17,990. Let us check out some of its key features and perfor mance.

Out of the box, the X Boom Cube is a visually appealing sound system. It will fit into any room and onto any surface. When the music is playing, multicolour lighting on the speaker creates a feeling of a nightclub with an interplay of bright lights that liven up any occasion. The LG system adds to the excitement with its powerful amplifier that includes a 2500W PMPO output. The speaker encompasses both options, wired and wireless for more powerful sound expandability. Thus aiding users to connect two units to play music together.

The LG system ensures a great audio experience down to the deepest bass with a 20 sound equaliser. For the adventurous lot, its Voice Cancellation feature allows users to enjoy normal audio song as Karaoke song by reducing singer vocal of music in the various sources like Bluetooth. With one click of the button you can become the DJ at your own party. On the apps front, users can download the Music Flow Bluetooth app to enhance the functionality of the speakers. Its MusicFlow Bluetooth is more than just a remote; it simplifies your listening and unites everything music into easy-to-use app. Through the LG Music Flow app, users can centrally manage their entire music library and control all Music Flow units in their home. The system’s Sound Sync feature allows users to simply link their LG audio product with a compatible LG HDTV wirelessly via Bluetooth, reducing the cable clutter behind/beneath your TV. The X Boom Cube can connect upto three Bluetooth devices at the same time, letting you switch between them without the hassle. The speaker helps users tune in to their favourite FM radio station and tune to listen your favourite FM radio shows and music with the help of 50 Presets. The system can also connect with the DTH setup box through an auxiliary cable.

In my two week exposure to this LG sound innovation, the system worked in a flawless manner. I connected the X Boom Cube with my Dell laptop, which stores my music collection from the 80s. I played a number of songs—Power of Love by Jennifer Rush, Lady in Red from Chris De Burgh, ghazals from Marasim by Jagjit Singg and Gulzar—and the LG system filled my room with incredible sound. I streamed music from my BlackBerry device and as you would expect from LG, the sound is good even at high volume. I tried all sorts of music on it; Indian classical, rock, folk, Hindi film songs etc. Everything sounds nice and crisp.

If you are looking for a good stereo system to use regularly, then the LG X Boom Cube can be a good choice.
