LG introduced a brand new line of Bluetooth audio system throughout CES 2025, unveiling a partnership with musician Will.i.am. The LG Xboom speaker lineup includes three fashions: the Xboom Seize, Bounce, and Stage 301. Every speaker targets a special consumer base, aiming to fulfill anybody searching for a little bit extra growth of their life.
Three new audio system with AI capabilities
All three audio system within the new Xboom lineup function AI capabilities, together with AI-powered equalizer settings, AI lighting options, AI room calibration, and an AI radio host. The brand new LG Xboom audio system additionally assist LE Audio and Bluetooth Auracast for extra environment friendly energy consumption and audio sharing with close by suitable gadgets.
Xboom Seize
The smallest and most transportable speaker within the lineup is the Xboom Seize. This cylindrical speaker gives 20 hours of battery life, an IP67 ranking, and a carrying strap for enhanced portability. It may be oriented vertically or horizontally and is slim sufficient to slot in a cup holder.
Xboom Bounce
The following speaker within the new era of Xboom audio system is the Bounce, aptly named for its up-bouncing passive radiators that make the RGB lighting on the speaker seem to “bounce.” This speaker boasts 30 hours of battery life and has an IP67 ranking, making it water and dustproof.
Throughout LG’s demo, the Bounce had a wider soundstage than the Seize, seemingly as a result of bigger inside audio elements. This speaker wasn’t very loud contained in the demo room, however its dimension suggests it will carry out effectively at a home social gathering or gathering across the pool.
Xboom Stage 301
The final speaker within the lineup is the Xboom Stage 301, which resembles a stage monitor in form and design. In line with Will.i.am, his imaginative and prescient was for the Stage 301 to imitate the audio system on stage to advertise creativity and musicality. The Stage 301 jogged my memory of a celebration speaker, and with its 6.5-inch woofer and twin 2.5-inch midrange drivers, I believe it will work greatest for large gatherings and outside events.
The Xboom audio system are pumped up with AI-powered options, most notably Raydio.Fyi, an AI radio host. Through the demo, Will.i.am requested Raydio.Fyi something and every part, and the radio host responded jubilantly in a conversational tone. In line with LG, this function is meant to offer listeners with intermittent infotainment, reminding me of Spotify’s AI DJ.
Availability
Pricing and availability for the brand new LG Xboom by Will.i.am audio system are to be decided, however LG asserts the audio system will likely be launched someday this yr.
