Ratings and reviews

I am still in the "exploring settings" phase. I caved and checked the user manual because the Google Play Store page says it doesn't collect or share user data. It requires precise position, which then leads to a list of global regions, which then leads to a list of countries, each of which is a link to their official manual lookup site for their physical products, so none of this was necessary in the first place. Would love it if anyone knows a way to link 2 speakers for stereo output w/o app.

I bought a second speaker because I loved the first one so much. I'm having trouble syncing them. I have an LGTV and I have never been able to connect the first speaker. Why does the app remove the speaker when you turn it off. I have to pair them everytime I leave the app. Can i sync the tv only has BT, TV , 2Xbooms, and LG sound bar and hear the same through all outputs. Would having a HUB help?

Pros: Linking two xBOOMs is cool, as is controlling the lighting effects of the Beat Lighting. Cons: Local Media Files only? For real? It's 2020.. LG your hardware is great but the software for it is just.. lacking in serious ways. Should be able to integrate/merge the specific app for this speaker with music streaming services as well as the focal files, and then be able to control an in-app equalizer that's different than any other generic downloaded audio personalization app. 3/5***
