LG has just revealed several new speakers in the Xboom line. These speakers are part of the Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am, who is on board as an “experimental architect” involved with “development, design and brand marketing.”
These speakers are quite different from each other, but they all have AI in common. Each speaker includes an algorithm that automatically adjusts the EQ after analyzing the audio content and listening space. Many also feature AI algorithms for ambient lighting, which will adjust the lights to match the song being played.
The Xboom Stage 501 is for parties and karaoke sessions. It features additional AI that can remove vocals from “virtually any song” and even adjust the pitch. The battery lasts for about 25 hours and can work even when plugged in. The speaker delivers up to 220W of power with dual woofers and full-range drivers. It has a five-sided cabinet design that allows for vertical and horizontal placement.
The XBoom Blast is a boombox with a 99Wh battery that allows up to 35 hours of continuous playback. This is a great metric. This is a modern boombox, so it is designed for durability. There are side bumpers and a side rope handle for carrying.

The Mini is a little doodad that can be placed almost 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’s larger than the Mini but can still fit in the palm of a hand. The battery lasts for ten hours and the design focuses on durability. It has been tested on “seven military standards” to ensure reliability in “challenging external environments”. This is an upgrade to.
We don’t have pricing or exact availability for this stuff yet, though the speakers will be on display at LG’s booth at CES. The company has said that these four gadgets will be released in 2026.
