Where are the differences?

Let's compare the LG XBOOM Go PL2 and the Sony SRS-XB22 and take a closer look at the differences.

Size and weight

The two devices differ in their dimensions. The smaller a loudspeaker is, the more practical it is in use, of course.

  • Sony SRS-XB22: 6.8 cm x 20.1 cm x 7.2 cm
With 350 g the LG XBOOM Go PL2 of LG is lighter than the Sony SRS-XB22, which weighs 540 g. This makes the LG XBOOM Go PL2 more practical for transport.

Battery

The battery life is shorter with the LG XBOOM Go PL2 with up to 10,0 hours than with the Sony SRS-XB22. There the battery life is up to 12,0 hours. In practice, the specification of the battery life can often be somewhat lower, since the manufacturers specify the maximum possible performance.

Waterproof

Both speakers are waterproof. The LG XBOOM Go PL2 is certified with IPX5. With the Sony SRS-XB22 a IP67 certification is present.

Powerbank

With the Powerbank function, other devices can be charged via USB using the speaker. Of course, this is at the expense of the battery life of the speaker.

Leistung

The performance is the LG XBOOM Go PL2 at 5 Watt. The Sony SRS-XB22 has a power of 2 x 4 Watt. The driver of the Sony SRS-XB22 has 42 mm.

Lichteffekte

Light effects are only offered by the LG XBOOM Go PL2. But this is only an optical difference. The light effects have no effect on the sound.

Connecting multiple speakers

Both speakers offer the possibility to connect two devices and use them as a stereo system.

Some speakers can be connected to several others and played together. This is usually called party mode. The difference to stereo connection is that all devices play the same thing. With stereo connection there is only one channel at a time. In this comparison this function only offers the Sony SRS-XB22. Usually this type of connection is only possible within one manufacturer. Even then, it is not necessarily possible to connect every loudspeaker to every other one. For the Sony SRS-XB22 "Party Connect" is used.
