LG has teamed up with music artist and tech entrepreneur will.i.am to launch a new lineup of AI-powered XBOOM speakers for 2026, designed to bring smarter audio experiences to home entertainment. The products range from portable Bluetooth options to larger smart speakers intended for living room use.

The standout feature across the new range is the integration of artificial intelligence audio enhancements. LG says the AI will adapt sound profiles in real time based on what you’re listening to, whether it’s music, podcasts, or movies. That means the speakers can optimize bass, treble, and volume dynamics to match different content without manual adjustments.

In announcing the lineup, LG described the new systems as a fusion of premium audio hardware and next-generation software. “Our goal is to make audio that adapts to you,” the company said in a press statement. “With will.i.am’s creative insight and AI technology, these XBOOM speakers bring dynamic sound to everyday listening.”

will.i.am, who has a long history of working with tech products, also commented on the collaboration. “Sound should feel alive,” he said. “These speakers are smart enough to understand the music and powerful enough to elevate it.”

The 2026 XBOOM lineup includes:

• AI XBOOM One: A compact Bluetooth speaker with adaptive AI sound tuning, ideal for portability and casual listening.
• AI XBOOM Plus: A larger Bluetooth speaker with enhanced bass and multi-device connectivity.
• AI XBOOM Smart: A mid-size smart speaker with built-in voice assistant support and AI audio optimization for home use.
• AI XBOOM Max: A flagship model offering room-filling sound and advanced AI tuning for larger spaces.

All models are designed to work seamlessly with smartphones and smart home ecosystems. LG highlights features such as automatic room correction, which analyzes acoustics and adjusts sound output, and adaptive EQ, which learns your listening preferences over time.

Pricing details for the new XBOOM series have been announced for several regions, with the AI XBOOM One starting at a competitive level and the AI XBOOM Max positioned as a premium option. LG says the full lineup will be available in stores and online starting in early 2026.

The collaboration reflects a broader trend in consumer electronics where artificial intelligence is being used to personalize sound experiences and bring more intelligent features into everyday gadgets. With will.i.am’s influence in music and design, LG is positioning the XBOOM series as both a lifestyle and high-performance audio choice.
