I’d love to see a new feature in the next software update where the sound mode automatically adjusts based on the app being used. For example, when opening music apps like Apple Music or Spotify, the sound mode could switch to Music Mode, and for streaming apps like Netflix or Prime Video, it could switch to Cinema Mode.This addition would make the user experience so much smoother and more convenient!

All “xboom by will.i.am” Products Feature a More Balanced and Warm xboom Signature Sound
LG’s New xboom Line Is Empowered by AI Sound, AI Lighting, AI Calibration and RAiDiO.FYI
SEOUL, Jan. 6, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) unveiled its new audio product line of Bluetooth speakers and earbuds at CES 2025, created in partnership with multi-platinum musician and tech entrepreneur, will.i.am. This marks the debut of the “xboom by will.i.am” line, following the partnership announcement in early December.
LG recently appointed will.i.am as the “Experiential Architect” of the LG xboom brand, aiming to establish it as a culture-forward brand that elevates the listening experience to new heights through completely new sound and design values. All “xboom by will.i.am” audio products are professionally tuned by will.i.am, delivering the xboom signature sound – characterized by a more balanced audio profile with warmer tones. The product design is playfully compact and embodies will.i.am’s creative artistry that stems from his life-long experience in pop culture. Leveraging both his extensive experience in understanding what people love and developing technology for creatives, will.i.am fundamentally inspires xboom’s product development, design and brand marketing.
The “xboom by will.i.am” line boasts a family of smart Bluetooth speakers – the xboom Bounce, Grab and Stage 301 – all fortified with seamless AI capabilities for a next-level listening experience. The xboom speakers conduct AI analysis on the content being played to automatically adjust AI Sound, switching to sound options that accentuate the melody, rhythm, or voice. The AI Lighting feature keeps the speakers’ bar lights pulsing in multicolored sync for added ambiance. AI Calibration allows speakers to instantly recognize their surroundings to fill various indoor or outdoor spaces with ample sound. And for the first time, xboom speakers now feature a dedicated button for users to instantly connect to will.i.am’s RAiDiO.FYI platform to enjoy various infotainment content tailored for each listener by an AI Radio Host.
Also, users can enjoy their content with amplified sound through the LE Audio Auracast feature that connects multiple xboom units for a seamlessly synchronized audio output. Even without Auracast support on their smartphones, users can enjoy synchronized audio across multiple units with the xboom speaker serving as the master unit. Moreover, users can enjoy the xboom signature sound that is further enhanced by built-in tweeters and full-range units created by Peerless, the Danish premium transducer manufacturer with a legacy of almost 100 years.
The 2025 audio product line is spearheaded by the xboom Bounce, which combines refined audio quality with stylish aesthetics. It boosts portable sound to a new level with its built-in, up-bouncing passive radiators, dual dome tweeters and track-type woofer. The Bounce is capable of delivering high-frequency stereo with precise highs and an expanded soundstage, surrounding listeners with enhanced clarity and depth. The name “Bounce” comes from its up-bouncing passive radiators that visibly bounce and light up in beat to the music. It incorporates a versatile strap that enables users to hold the speaker securely in one hand, hang it on a hook, or place it on a tabletop. With a water and dust resistance IP67 rating and Military Standard 810G durability, this robust speaker’s built-in battery lasts up to 30 hours.
The xboom Grab presents an exciting take-anywhere audio experience, pairing powerful sound with a compact, travel-friendly design. Despite its relatively slim size, the Grab manages to pack dual passive radiators positioned on both sides of the speaker for dynamic bass and lively sound. As the name “Grab” suggests, this speaker is perfect to hold in one hand for use on the go. It can be placed in many orientations – standing upright, lying on its side, or securely nestled in the cup holder of a car or camping chair, or even in the water bottle cage of a bicycle. It also comes with versatile straps for securing snugly to the arm or slinging over hooks and handles. With a water and dust resistance IP67 rating and Military Standard 810G durability, the Grab offers up to 20 hours of battery life.
The xboom Stage 301 is designed for those who love transforming any space into a lively stage – hence the name “Stage.” Optimized for busking, karaoke night, or any sort of indoors or outdoors gathering, the speaker effortlessly fills big spaces with powerful sound. This robust model packs a punch with its 6.5-inch woofer and dual 2.5-inch midrange drivers, providing rich, full-bodied audio. The Stage 301 distinctly features a built-in handle for easy carrying and a clever wedge design that allows flexible positioning for various setups – flat on its base, tilted back, or seated atop a tripod. Highly durable, the xboom Stage 301 has an IPX4 water resistance rating as well as a replaceable battery that lasts up to 11 hours, allowing greater flexibility and uninterrupted listening pleasure.
The xboom Buds employ lightweight graphene drivers, which are key to delivering pure, well-balanced sound with rich bass. As thin as paper yet strong as steel, graphene improves durability while supporting LG’s Active Noise Canceling technology, providing a more immersive listening experience. Featuring LE Audio Auracast, the Buds enable users to listen to open audio streams in public and permit multiple device connections so that several users can simultaneously enjoy the same audio. Designed for comfort and stability, the ergonomic ear tips adapt to various ear shapes, while the unique ear hook design provides a snug and stable fit on the go. It offers up to 30 hours of listening time with the support of its charging case, as well as IPX4 water resistance that protects against splashing water.
“Working with renowned tech and lifestyle innovator, LG, opens the door to groundbreaking and dynamic experiences that speak to a broader community of music enthusiasts,” said will.i.am. “By bringing our cutting-edge technology and distinctive creative visions together with LG xboom, we want to foster an iconic culture where people can explore their passion for music with others on a whole new level.”
“The xboom by will.i.am line marks the beginning of a dynamic, collaborative journey for the xboom brand and will.i.am, and we are more than thrilled to showcase the first fruits of our partnership at this year’s CES,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s audio business division. “Beginning with the new xboom line, we will continuously aim to elevate every aspect of the listening experience.”
The all-new “xboom by will.i.am” audio products, which will roll out in global markets in 2025, will be on display during CES 2025 from January 7–10 at the LG booth (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center).

Gardening Lifestyle Solution Brings the Beauty and Bounty of Nature Indoors
SEOUL, Dec. 24, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its innovative new indoor gardening appliance at CES 2025. This latest personal horticultural solution combines an advanced system that encourages fast, healthy plant growth with a modern floor-standing lamp design, effortlessly stylish in any setting. Ideal for gardening novices as well as urbanites who enjoy bringing nature into their homes, this appliance makes plant cultivation a simple and satisfying experience.
Slender and upright with a circular “lampshade” and base, LG’s distinctive appliance is both an elegant interior object and a highly practical means of producing fresh home-grown greens. Despite its apartment-friendly footprint, the new model offers more growing space compared to the company’s previous indoor gardening appliances, enabling users to nurture a wider variety of plants, including taller species. Its adaptable growing space and height-adjustable LED growing lights provide considerable flexibility and the ideal conditions for raising a range of different leafy greens, herbs, flowers and fruits. Great for busy lifestyles, LG’s new solution supports continuous growing cycles and features a large, 1.5-gallon-capacity water tank that delivers more hydration between refills.*
The appliance boasts two types of functional and aesthetically-pleasing lighting: downward-facing lights with five intensity levels to support optimal plant growth during the day, and upward-facing mood lighting to create a cozy, calming ambiance in the evening. This dual lighting design elevates the value and utility of LG’s latest gardening appliance while also highlighting the company’s unique ability to develop versatile “hybrid” solutions that deliver the benefits of multiple products.
With a twenty-plant, four-seed-kit capacity, the new indoor gardening appliance automatically dispenses the right amount of water and nutrients for the number and variety of plants being grown. This advanced system ensures consistent care, even when users are away for extended periods, as long as a week. In addition, compatibility with the LG ThinQ app allows users to manage cultivation schedules, adjust lighting settings and monitor plant growth from any location.
Along with the “floor-standing lamp” model, LG will reveal a new indoor gardening appliance featuring a nature-inspired side table design at CES 2025. This compact, multifunctional model provides an easy, enjoyable home gardening experience and demonstrates LG’s continuing commitment to providing compelling choices for various tastes and lifestyles.
“Our new indoor gardening appliances present a fresh way for customers to create their own personal green spaces, have fun growing their own plants, and infuse their homes with an inspired touch of modern style,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We will continue to deliver innovative indoor solutions that allow anyone to experience the joy of gardening, regardless of where they live.”
Visitors to CES 2025 from January 7-10 can explore all of LG’s latest innovations, including the new indoor gardening appliances, at the company’s booth (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center).

* The water tank of LG’s previous indoor gardening appliance model provided a 0.8-gallon (approx.) / 3-liter capacity, while the smaller, mini-model provided a 0.3-gallon (approx.) / 1-liter capacity.
