LG has introduced a new series of xboom speakers. These are a suite of portable Bluetooth speakers designed to appeal to music lovers across different use cases. The announcement arrives just ahead of the upcoming CES 2026 tech event, with the speakers bringing smart audio features and rugged designs. So let’s check them out.

LG xboom 501, Blast, Rock, & Mini Unveiled

At the core of the new xboom models is a set of AI-based features that analyze both the content being played and the characteristics of the listening space. This allows the speaker to automatically adjust its equalization for optimal sound, while ambient lighting can shift dynamically in sync with the music. The biggest model out of the lot is the xboom Stage 501, a powerful option built for social gatherings and karaoke nights.

It offers up to 220 watts of output power, dual woofers, full-range drivers, and a flexible cabinet that can sit horizontally or vertically, depending on the setting. Its built-in AI tools can even isolate or remove vocals from tracks, giving users more control over their audio playback. For listeners who want a big yet portable option, the xboom Blast comes with a 99 Wh battery promising extended playtime (around 35 hours) and a tough build with ergonomic carrying elements. This makes it suitable for outdoor adventures or long listening sessions away from home.

Meanwhile, the xboom Mini is an even smaller option that is designed as an ultra-compact speaker fit for everyday carry, with a strap and mount support for easy placement anywhere. Similarly, the xboom Rock targets durability and outdoor use with rugged construction tested to multiple military standards, making it resilient in challenging environments. Both smaller models deliver around ten hours of battery life per charge.

LG’s xboom collaboration with will.i.am continues with this lineup, with a focus on delivering a balanced, energetic audio profile and seamless playback features tailored to modern lifestyles. All units are expected to hit the market in 2026, with appearances scheduled at LG’s CES booth early in the show.
