LG wants the speaker to become part of the party instead of sitting in the corner. Its new xboom Power Series is built around that idea, combining big sound with karaoke, lighting, DJ effects and AI tools designed to pull more people into the action.
The flagship lineup includes the LG xboom Power 9000, Power 7000 and Power 5000, each aimed at a different size of gathering. The Power 9000 is built for large outdoor events and block parties, the Power 7000 targets larger gatherings and patios, and the Power 5000 brings the same basic concept into smaller family celebrations and social occasions.
All three models use xboom Signature Sound, tuned by will.i.am, with LG positioning the series as its most powerful party-speaker lineup. The emphasis is on bass, scale and clarity, but the bigger story is how much of the hardware is designed around participation rather than passive listening.
That starts with AI Karaoke Master. Users can take songs already in their music libraries and turn them into karaoke tracks without needing dedicated karaoke versions. AI Vocal Remover reduces the original vocals, while Key Changer adjusts the pitch to better match different vocal ranges.
There’s also one-touch activation, which keeps the setup from becoming a technical exercise when somebody decides it’s suddenly karaoke time. Dual microphone inputs on every model allow 2 people to sing together, while an integrated Smart Stand can hold a phone or tablet so lyrics stay visible.
LG has built the visual side into the speakers too. Multicolor AI Lighting runs across the lineup, joined by DJ Performance Effects that add another layer of interaction during parties. The Power 9000 gets full-circle lighting and 2 strobe lights, while the Power 7000 includes one strobe and the Power 5000 retains the full-circle lighting system.
The audio processing adapts as well. AI Sound analyzes the material being played and adjusts settings according to genre, while Space Calibration Pro changes output based on the size and layout of the room or outdoor space. Sound Field Enhance is designed to widen the perceived soundstage.
Auracast support lets compatible speakers across the xboom family link together for synchronized playback and wider coverage. That gives the system a path from a single backyard speaker to a larger multi-speaker setup without changing ecosystems.
The Power 9000 is the heavyweight of the group. LG says it can cover roughly 2,000 square metres under its internal test conditions, with dual 10-inch woofers and dual 1-inch horn tweeters. Built-in gliding wheels and a handle are there because a speaker this large also has to move.
The Power 7000 steps that footprint down to approximately 800 square metres of coverage, using a 10-inch woofer and dual 1-inch horn tweeters. The Power 5000 is designed for around 400 square metres and uses an 8-inch woofer with dual 2-inch tweeters.
Across all 3, users also get Standard, Bass Boost, Clear Voice and Custom EQ options, alongside the karaoke, lighting and multi-speaker features. It’s a feature set built for the moment when a playlist turns into a singalong, then somebody grabs a second microphone, then the room wants more volume.
The strongest part of the concept is how deliberately LG has designed around that social progression. These speakers aren’t simply chasing louder playback. The microphones, lyric stand, vocal removal, key adjustment, lighting and DJ effects are all meant to change what people do around the speaker.
For will.i.am, that puts his tuning work inside a product family aimed directly at the communal side of music. The xboom Power Series has enough technology under the hood to satisfy the spec sheet, but the more interesting idea is simple: make it easier for everybody at the party to participate.
U.S. pricing and availability for the LG xboom Power 9000, Power 7000 and Power 5000 will be announced at a later date.
