At CES 2026, LG Electronics and the internationally recognized innovator will.i.am are set to showcase an expanded xboom product lineup, building on the well-received models from the previous year. The new collection introduces four innovative speaker models – Stage 501, Blast, Mini, and Rock – each crafted for distinct listening environments and powered by advanced AI technology.

AI-Driven Personalization

A significant hallmark of this updated xboom series is its AI integration, which concentrates on enhancing user interaction. The new speakers boast an impressive audio experience, characterized by a balanced sound profile and rich bass. Additionally, the latest FYI.RAiDiO feature allows users to interact with ten AI personas and DJs, offering two-way conversational dynamics that create a personalized listening journey.

Via the dedicated MY Button or the FYI.RAiDiO app, listeners will enjoy tailored music curation based on their current location and context, thus enriching their audio enjoyment.

User Experience and Advanced Features

The xboom lineup emphasizes a connection between technology and the user experience. Along with the signature sound, AI Sound technology automatically optimizes the equalization settings according to audio content, enhancing melodies, rhythm, or vocals for a refined listening experience.

With AI Lighting integration, speakers respond visually with multicolored lights that sync with musical beats, elevating the atmosphere. Furthermore, Space Calibration Pro intelligently adjusts audio output based on the immediate environment, ensuring rich sound fills any room or outdoor space.
