LG has unveiled its latest line of speakers in the xboom series, set to debut in 2026, as part of a collaboration with will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas. This partnership sees him contributing as an "experimental architect" for various aspects including design and marketing.
Each speaker integrates artificial intelligence, enabling automatic EQ adjustments based on audio content and the surrounding environment. Among the new offerings, the xboom Stage 501 is designed for parties, featuring vocal removal capabilities and a robust 220W output. It can run for 25 hours on battery and has a versatile cabinet design.
The xboom Blast is a modern boombox equipped with a 99Wh battery for 35 hours of playback, designed for portability with bumpers and a carrying handle. Meanwhile, the Mini speaker is compact, allowing for a placement anywhere, and offers ten hours of playback, complete with a strap and tripod mount. The Rock, a rugged speaker tested against military standards, also lasts ten hours and is designed for outdoor use.
Details on pricing and exact availability will be announced later, but these products will be showcased at LG's booth during CES 2026.
