The speakers have elegant design, are well matched and shiny and are housed in rigid chassis that’s sturdier than it might look. The H5 and H7 are hexagonal-shaped, and friendly-looking speakers with smooth surfaces and nicely contoured corners.

This apps allows users to peek into the music library of anyone else who is connected to the same Wi-Fi range, this aids them to pick and choose a large variety of music that is enjoyed by others too.  These speakers have a unique feature, Mood station that recommends music according the mood of the users. The app is able to integrate with music streaming services including TuneIn, Napster, Deezer and Spotify.

If you are enjoying a song on the smartphone through the Music Flow app and as you get close to home or space where your speaker pair is installed, the Auto Music Play will automatically sense the smartphone’s presence. It then sends alerts to the user, giving them the option to continue to play the music on their LG H5 &, H7 speaker when they arrive home.

Great Sound Quality

On tracks with intense sub-bass content like “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, the H5 & H7 speaker pair delivered pounding bass complementing the pace of the lyrics sung by Macklemor. Drums, piano, whimsical handclaps all sounded pleasant making this quirky melody truly fantastic and entertaining  to listen.

Each speaker delivered detailed and energetic sound, however the H7 sounded better than it's younger sibling H5. It sounded louder, dynamic and expressive and is better capable to pick out the lower strings in a rich manner.

The speaker pair is compatible with Hi-Res Audio which a boon for true audiophiles. When we fed the speakers with the Hi-Res audio (24-bit/192kHz-resolution file) tracks and the difference in sound produced was notable.

On our Hi-Res audio track "Titanium"  by French DJ David Guetta which features some intense dance-club style beats, the sound produced by H5 & H7 will enchant you from start to finish. Sia's vocals add mystery and intrigue to an almost vintage quality melody. The pulse of bass produced is deeper, well-defined and creates arousing effect making you dance to this electric pop song tunes.

We also check the Mood station feature and the music flow app played the songs according the mood and occasion selected.
