LG XBoom Buds Review: A Mixed Bag of Bass and Features
The LG XBoom Buds deliver bass-heavy audio and customizable EQ settings but struggle with sound leakage and quiet performance, according to a hands-on review. While the active noise cancellation (ANC) effectively dampens background chatter and traffic noise, users face volume limitationscolleagues could hear audio at just over 40% volume, a drawback for shared spaces. The buds sound quality improves with EQ adjustments, though the proprietary will.i.am tuning underwhelms compared to rival earbuds. Features like Ambient Sound mode and Conversation Mode add versatility, but the lack of aptX Adaptive codec and below-par volume output limits their appeal for audiophiles. Priced over $100, the XBoom Buds offer a middle-ground option for casual listeners prioritizing fit and bass response over premium clarity, though alternatives at similar prices may provide better value. Their 7.5-hour battery with ANC and lightweight design make them suitable for daily commutes, but critical compromises in audio privacy and tuning refinement leave them short of being a standout choice.
