LG announces new line of xboom speakers ahead of CES

LG has just unveiled several new speakers in the xboom range . These speakers are part of with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, who is on board as an “experimental architect” involved in “brand development, design and marketing”.

These speakers are quite different from each other, but they all have AI in common. Each speaker includes an algorithm that automatically adjusts equalization after analyzing the audio content and listening space. Many also feature an AI algorithm for ambient lighting, which will adjust the lights based on the song currently playing.

The xboom Stage 501 is intended for parties and karaoke sessions. It has additional AI that can remove vocals from “virtually any song” and even adjust the pitch. The battery lasts about 25 hours and can work when plugged in. The speaker delivers up to 220W of power, with dual woofers and full-range drivers. It features a five-sided cabinet design that allows for vertical and horizontal placement.

The xboom Blast is a boombox with a 99 Wh battery that allows up to 35 hours of continuous playback. This is a very good measure. This is a modern boombox, so it’s built to last. There are edge bumpers and a rope side handle for carrying.

The Mini is a little gem that can be placed just about anywhere. It offers ten hours of battery life per charge and a strap for easy placement. The speaker also includes a built-in tripod mount.

The Rock is a rock-shaped speaker that is larger than the Mini but can still be held in the palm of your hand. The battery lasts ten hours and the design focuses on durability. It has been tested to “seven military standards” to ensure reliability in “harsh outdoor environments.” This is an upgrade of the .

We don’t yet have pricing or exact availability for this product, although the speakers will be on display at LG’s booth at CES. The company has announced that these four gadgets will be released in 2026.
