LG introduces Futuristic “xboom by will.i.am” Audio Lineup: Enhanced Sound and AI Innovation

CES Las Vegas

Hey there, tech enthusiasts! LG Electronics (LG) has just launched its exciting new lineup of audio products at CES 2025. And guess what? They’ve teamed up with none other than multi-platinum musician and tech entrepreneur, will.i.am, to create the “xboom by will.i.am” line. This collaboration has been making waves since it was announced back in December, and now we finally get to see what they’ve been cooking up.

LG has appointed will.i.am as the “Experiential Architect” of the LG xboom brand. Their goal is to establish xboom as a culture-forward brand that takes the listening experience to new heights with innovative sound and design. All the audio products in the “xboom by will.i.am” line have been professionally tuned by will.i.am himself, delivering that signature xboom sound we all love. It’s all about balance and warm tones, creating a truly immersive experience.

But it’s not just about the sound. The design of these products is something to behold. They’re compact, playful, and embody will.i.am’s creative artistry that comes from his deep roots in pop culture. It’s like having a piece of his creative genius right in your hands.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show – the xboom Bounce. This portable Bluetooth speaker takes portable sound to a whole new level. It’s equipped with up-bouncing passive radiators, dual dome tweeters, and a track-type woofer. What does all that mean? Well, it delivers high-frequency stereo with precise highs and an expanded soundstage. You’ll feel like you’re surrounded by enhanced clarity and depth. And here’s a fun fact – the name “Bounce” comes from those up-bouncing passive radiators that visibly bounce and light up in beat to the music. How cool is that?

The xboom Grab is another exciting addition to the lineup. It’s a compact speaker that you can take anywhere. Despite its slim size, it packs a punch with dual passive radiators for dynamic bass and lively sound. You can hold it in one hand, place it in different orientations, or secure it to your ARM or hooks. It’s perfect for on-the-go adventures. Plus, it’s water and dust resistant, so you don’t have to worry about a little rain or dust ruining your fun.

If you’re someone who loves turning any space into a lively stage, then the xboom Stage 301 is for you. This powerful speaker fills big spaces with rich, full-bodied audio. It’s perfect for busking, karaoke nights, or any gathering, indoors or outdoors. And the best part? It’s designed with a built-in handle for easy carrying and a clever wedge design for flexible positioning. You can set it up flat, tilted back, or even on a tripod. It’s all about versatility and convenience.

Now, let’s not forget about the xboom Buds. These earbuds are lightweight and deliver pure, well-balanced sound with rich bass. They’re equipped with graphene drivers, which are as thin as paper yet strong as steel. This not only improves durability but also supports LG’s Active Noise Canceling technology for a more immersive listening experience. And here’s a cool feature – the Buds allow multiple device connections, so you and your friends can enjoy the same audio simultaneously. It’s like having a personal concert wherever you go.

But wait, there’s more! All the xboom speakers come with seamless AI capabilities that take your listening experience to the next level. They analyze the content being played and automatically adjust the sound to accentuate the melody, rhythm, or voice. The AI Lighting feature keeps the speakers’ bar lights pulsing in multicolored sync, adding a touch of ambiance to your space. And for the first time ever, you can instantly connect to will.i.am’s RAiDiO.FYI platform with a dedicated button on the speakers. It’s all about infotainment tailored just for you by an AI Radio Host.

And here’s the Cherry on top – the LE Audio Auracast feature. It allows you to connect multiple xboom units for a seamlessly synchronized audio output. Even if your smartphone doesn’t support Auracast, you can still enjoy synchronized audio across multiple units with one xboom speaker serving as the master unit. It’s all about convenience and creating an immersive audio experience.

So, when can you get your hands on these amazing products? The “xboom by will.i.am” audio products will be rolling out in global markets in 2025. But if you’re lucky enough to be at CES 2025, you can check them out at the LG booth from January 7th to 10th.

In the words of will.i.am himself, “Working with tech and lifestyle innovator, LG, opens the door to and dynamic experiences that speak to a broader community of music
