- New LG Stage 501, Blast, Mini and Rock models will arrive in 2026
- FYI.RAiDiO integration and AI audio enhancement
- Up to 220 W of power in the largest models
LG’s xboom speakers, developed in collaboration with will.i.am, are a lot of fun – and for 2026, there will be four new models that join some of our favorites, such as the xboom Stage 301 and the fun xboom Grab.
The names of the new models give an important clue to their function: the xboom Stage 501, Blast, Mini and Rock collectively cover all the audio bases, from rock parties to travel-friendly portable. All models promise “AI-based intelligence”, including automatic equalization, automatic lighting synchronization and, in the Stage and Blast models, automatic room compensation.
LG xboom 2026 speakers: what’s new
First up is the xboom Stage 501, a party speaker with up to 220W when connected to power and 160W on battery. This battery is huge, offering up to 25 hours of playback, and powers two woofers, full-range speakers, and tweeters. The cabinet is five-sided so can be placed vertically, tilted or mounted on a tripod to fit the space. It also has a karaoke mode, AI Karaoke Master, which can remove vocals “from virtually any song” as well as adjust the pitch to make singing easier.
The xboom Blast shares the same 99Wh battery, this time offering up to 35 hours. It’s a more portable but no less powerful option, delivering up to 220W with big bass thanks to three passive radiators.
The xboom Mini is much smaller and designed for small spaces and listening on the go. It will run for up to 10 hours between charges and it is water and dust resistant to IP67. There is a built-in tripod mount and a “Magic Strap” for flexible placement and transportation.
Last but not least, there is the rugged, military-grade speaker called the xboom Rock. It’s an upgrade from the current XG2 with up to 10 hours of playback, Bluetooth LE Audio with Auracast, and an improved 6W output.
Previous xboom models were This about to land in our list of the best Bluetooth speakers, and we really like them – we’ll see if the new models can get even better.
We hope to hear more details at CES 2026, hopefully including pricing and availability.
