LG has announced a new addition to its Xboom lineup, the Stage 501 party speaker, designed for karaoke enthusiasts in collaboration with Will.i.am. Equipped with an innovative feature called ‘AI Karaoke Master,’ this speaker can remove or adjust vocals from almost any song, offering a unique singing experience similar to the Soundcore Rave 3S. The AI technology can also fine-tune song pitch for better singing comfort without the need for specific karaoke audio files.
The Stage 501 features a distinct five-sided design and upgraded dual woofers, along with full-range drivers to enhance audio quality, providing a richer sound experience. Its removable 99Wh battery allows for up to 25 hours of playback time, delivering a powerful 160W output (220W when plugged in).
Additionally, LG has introduced the Xboom Blast, a slightly smaller outdoor speaker with added durability features like edge bumpers and dual handles for portability. Sporting a 99Wh battery, the Blast offers an extended playback time of up to 35 hours.
Completing the lineup are the compact Xboom Mini and Xboom Rock speakers, both featuring AI-driven audio analysis that optimizes EQ settings to emphasize melody, rhythm, or vocals. The Mini provides 10 hours of playback and IP67 water and dust resistance, while the Rock offers similar playback time along with Bluetooth Auracast support for multi-speaker audio broadcasting.
LG’s AI-powered speakers also incorporate dynamic lighting adjustments based on the music being played, while the Stage 501 and Blast utilize ‘Space Calibration Pro’ technology for optimal sound performance.
