LG recently confirmed that it is out of the smartphone race and we’re going to miss its innovative products but there are other aspects where the company still holds sway. A few of them include the smart display and audio product markets. The South Korean electronics powerhouse has now unveiled its 2021 range of smart speakers featuring high-quality audio support and multiple input options.
The five new LG soundbars offer an improved sound experience, with easy connectivity across various smart devices and an eco-conscious design and packaging. When interfaced with LG smart TV‘s AI Sound Pro technology, the soundbars provide an improved multi-channel immersion. The soundbars also feature in-built support for 3-D audio technology in the form of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
The new LG soundbars come in a sleek design and could accentuate the sitting room ambiance when combined with smart TVs to provide a powerful sound output via the soundbars. The devices also support multiple Voice Assistants like Google Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa, Siri, and others, providing versatility in their use.
Some of the models unveiled are Hi-Res Audio certified, and lossless playback is also possible. The soundbars all have Bluetooth 5.0 support in addition to USB and eARC inputs.
According to LG, Europe and North America will be the first markets to have the five new soundbars later this month. Other markets will follow suit after the first rollout of the soundbar models to Europe and North America. We also expect LG to unveil more soundbar models, as it seeks to have a bit of the fast-evolving smart speakers market globally.
The COVID-19 era has seen an exponential increase in the purchase and use of smart home gadgets worldwide. The more significant part of the year 2020 saw millions working from home, as the lockdown ground the global economy to a halt. The home became the only avenue for relaxation and entertainment, and smart devices became the pathway to home entertainment, while also making the workspace entertaining. This is still driving the sales of audio products globally as video conferencing and virtual meetings have replaced physical meetings to a great extent.
