LG has unveiled a series of fresh additions to its Xboom speaker range in anticipation of CES 2026. This lineup stems from a continued partnership with Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am, serving as the project's 'experimental architect' to guide aspects like innovation, aesthetics, and promotional strategies.
While the models vary significantly in form and function, they share advanced AI capabilities. Every unit incorporates software that evaluates soundtracks and room acoustics to fine-tune equalization settings dynamically. Several options also include lighting tech that syncs illumination effects with the music's rhythm.
Designed for social gatherings and sing-along events, the Xboom Stage 501 employs specialized AI to strip out vocals from most tracks and modify key tones as needed. It provides approximately 25 hours of runtime on battery and functions when connected to power. Output reaches 220W via paired subwoofers and wide-spectrum speakers, housed in a versatile pentagonal enclosure suitable for upright or flat positioning.
The Xboom Blast takes the form of a robust portable audio device with a 99Wh power source, enabling up to 35 hours of uninterrupted use. Engineered for rugged handling, it includes protective edging and a convenient lateral grip for transport.
Compact and versatile, the Xboom Mini fits into tight spaces effortlessly, delivering 10 hours of playtime on a single charge alongside a handy attachment loop. It also features an integrated thread for mounting on tripods.
Shaped like a stone for a natural appeal, the Xboom Rock exceeds the Mini in size yet remains handheld. It matches the Mini's 10-hour battery endurance and emphasizes toughness, having undergone evaluations against seven defense-grade criteria to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. This version refines the earlier XG2 design.
Details on costs and release dates remain undisclosed, but visitors can view the devices at LG's CES exhibit space. Officials confirm all four products will hit the market sometime in 2026.
