The new series of Bluetooth speakers features several AI-based functions, such as AI Sound, which analyzes the audio track and automatically adjusts the sound to match the melody, rhythm, or voice; AI Lighting, which synchronizes the speakers' lighting in various colors; and AI Calibration, allowing the speakers to instantly detect the surrounding environment and fill both indoor and outdoor spaces with sound.
Additionally, thanks to the collaboration, these speakers are equipped with a special button for instant connection to will.i.am's RAiDiO.FYI platform, which lets users enjoy diverse content tailored to each listener through AI Radio Host.
The xboom Bounce model, designed for portability and powerful sound, is equipped with enhanced passive radiators, two tweeters, and a subwoofer for stereo sound. It has an IP67 rating and provides up to 30 hours of battery life.
xboom Grab is a more compact version of the Bounce. Despite its smaller size, LG managed to include two passive radiators on both sides. The speaker has an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance and meets military standard 810G, providing up to 20 hours of battery life.
As for the xboom Stage 301, it's a party speaker. It is equipped with a 6.5-inch driver and two 2.5-inch mid-range drivers. The speaker has IPX4 water resistance and a replaceable battery that provides up to 11 hours of operation.
