LG Electronics (LG) and will.i.am are introducing an expanded xboom lineup at CES 2026, building on the success of 2025 models such as Stage 301 and the original Bounce and Grab. Featuring stage-inspired speakers for parties and rugged designs for outdoor adventures, the new collection combines powerful sound with AI-driven personalization and versatile styling. This next chapter of the collaboration focuses on smarter interaction, extended battery life and designs that seamlessly fit into every lifestyle – transforming audio into a more connected, dynamic experience.

Four New Models Built for Parties, Adventures and Everyday Life

The expanded xboom by will.i.am lineup introduces latest speakers including the Stage 501, Blast, Mini and Rock, all designed for different listening settings and lifestyles with AI-driven intelligence at the core. AI Sound automatically analyzes the audio content and adjusts EQ settings to bring out melody, rhythm or vocals, creating a more refined and compelling listening experience. With AI Lighting, multicolored bar lights on the xboom speakers move in sync with the sound, adding dynamic visual movement that enhances the overall atmosphere. Space Calibration Pro* analyzes the sound quality based on its surroundings and adapts audio output to enable the xboom speakers to deliver consistent, room-filling sound in both indoor and outdoor settings.

“We are turning sound into a living, learning experience,” said will.i.am. “With FYI.RAiDiO and AI personas, xboom by will.i.am speakers offer a glimpse into a new way of enjoying audio experience through an inspiring cultural connection with AI. These enhancements will bring people closer and connect through a shared passion of music and creativity.”

“The collaboration with will.i.am continues to advance our vision for intelligent, expressive sound,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s Audio Business. “As we move into 2026, portable audio will remain a key growth driver for LG, combining refined performance, AI innovation and design that reflects what consumers value most.”

The latest “xboom by will.i.am” audio products, which will roll out in global markets in 2026, will be on display during CES 2026 at the company’s booth (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center) from January 6–9.
