LG has teamed up with Grammy-winning producer and tech visionary will.i.am to introduce the newest additions to the xboom Buds series: the Buds Plus and Buds Lite. These earbuds reflect a fusion of advanced audio engineering and the artist’s signature sound philosophy, offering two distinct options for users seeking premium performance or lightweight convenience.
The LG xboom Buds Plus, priced at $179.99, sets a new benchmark for wireless audio with features like Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) 2, and a UVnano+1 charging case that uses UV-C light to disinfect earbud mesh surfaces. The design prioritizes both hygiene and immersion, with up to 30 hours of total playtime—including 10 hours from the earbuds alone—and 3D Spatial Audio for a more engaging listening experience.
For those who prioritize portability without sacrificing sound quality, the LG xboom Buds Lite offers a compact yet powerful alternative at $69.99. Despite their smaller form factor, they deliver 35 hours of total playtime (11.5 hours from the earbuds and 23.5 hours from the charging case) and retain key premium features like IPX4 water resistance and customizable EQ settings.
Both models feature will.i.am’s signature balanced warm tones, a hallmark of the xboom series, and are now available at LG.com and authorized retailers nationwide. The Buds Plus also includes a built-in Bluetooth Transmitter, enabling seamless wireless use with wired devices like in-flight entertainment systems or gym equipment.
will.i.am, as the experiential architect behind the xboom brand, continues to shape LG’s audio innovation, emphasizing how sound enhances everyday experiences. The new lineup was unveiled at the recent FYI Visionaries event, reinforcing the partnership’s commitment to blending technology with artistic vision.
