The LG collaboration with will.i.am revealed at last year’s CES must have been doing well in sales. If not, how else do you explain the new lineup? That’s right, there are more of will.i.am in LG audio. The collaboration between LG and will.i.am’s xboom line continues with a brand new lineup.
For 2026, LG Electronics expands xboom by will.i.am lineup to include four new models built for, you guessed it, parties and adventures—in and outside the home. As expected, these devices are imbued with AI, specifically AI-powered personalization. Like its maiden debut, the new expanded xboom lineup was unveiled at this year’s CES.
The new xboom family is about loud sound, long battery life, flashy lights, and AI that thinks it knows your vibe better than you do yourself. The lineup now includes Stage 501, Blast, Mini, and Rock, each aimed at a different lifestyle, from karaoke kings to people who think dirt is a fashion accessory.
At the core of all four is the same philosophy: big, balanced sound with rich bass, AI Sound that adjusts EQ automatically, AI Lighting that syncs with the beat, and Space Calibration Pro that adapts audio to the room or open air. Add FYI.RAiDiO with ten AI Personas and DJ styles, plus location-aware music curation, and suddenly your speaker is acting like a part-time DJ with opinions.
xboom Stage 501
Stage 501 is the loud friend who always brings a microphone. With up to 220 W when plugged in and 160 W on battery, it is built for parties that accidentally turn into events. It runs up to 25 hours on a 99 Wh swappable battery, which is longer than most people can stay socially functional.
Its AI Karaoke Master is trained on over 10,000 songs and can remove or reduce vocals, adjust pitch, and let you sing solo, duet, or hide your voice politely under the real singer. The five-sided cabinet supports vertical, horizontal, tilted, or tripod setups. Dual woofers, full-range drivers, and Peerless tweeters make sure nobody mistakes it for a polite speaker.
xboom Blast
Blast is the tank of the lineup. With up to 35 hours of playback from its 99 Wh battery and 220 W of output, it is designed for beaches, campsites, and backyards that think they are music festivals. Three passive radiators help push out big sound, while edge bumpers and military-standard durability testing make it ready for drops, bumps, and clumsy friends.
It comes with a side rope handle for vertical carrying in crowds and a rubber top handle for quick grabs. It looks like it is always ready to leave the house, even when you are not.
xboom Mini
Mini is the polite cube that fits everywhere. It offers up to 10 hours of playback and uses Sound Field Enhance to keep audio clear even outdoors. It has IP67 water and dust resistance, a Magic Strap for easy placement, and a built-in tripod mount.
Its tactile buttons are simple, its design is clean, and it is clearly meant for kitchens, patios, desks, and people who like good sound without rearranging furniture.
xboom Rock
Rock is the small tough one. Tested to seven military standards, it runs up to 10 hours and now pushes 6 W of output, which is more than enough for hiking trails, campsites, and anywhere shoes get muddy. Sound Field Enhance helps in open spaces, while LE Audio Auracast lets you share music across multiple speakers easily.
It has a smart button for quick app control and the personality of a speaker that refuses to complain about bad weather.
All four speakers support AI Sound, AI Lighting, Space Calibration Pro, and FYI.RAiDiO with conversational AI DJs and Personas. Together, they turn music into something that reacts to you, your place, and your mood, whether you asked for that much attention or not.
