Overview
- LG announced four Xboom models—Stage 501, Blast, Mini, and Rock—in collaboration with will.i.am, with demos slated for CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9.
- The Stage 501 introduces AI Karaoke Master to remove or adjust vocals from most songs and shift pitch without karaoke files, alongside a five-sided design, dual woofers, a swappable 99Wh battery for up to 25 hours, and 160W output (220W when plugged in).
- The Xboom Blast targets outdoor use with rubber edge bumpers, military-standard durability, a 99Wh battery rated for about 35 hours, and dual handles for portability.
- The Xboom Mini offers roughly 10 hours of playback with IP67 water and dust resistance and a tripod mount, while the Rock pairs a similar battery claim with a rugged build and Bluetooth Auracast support.
- All models add AI Sound and AI Lighting plus FYI.RAiDiO with ten AI personas and DJ profiles, with Space Calibration Pro on Stage 501 and Blast, while pricing and launch dates remain undisclosed and early impressions say vocal removal can struggle on dense mixes.
