Why will.i.am Tuned LG’s New xboom Power Speakers Today

Imagine a backyard party where the bass feels like a weather front rolling in. That is the promise behind LG's new xboom Power line: loud, tuned, and purpose-built for people who treat sound as an experience rather than background noise.

will.i.am returns to the mixing chair for this launch, shaping an acoustic profile that pushes low end without smothering detail. Three models debut: Power 9000, Power 7000 and Power 5000, each designed for a different scale of gathering but carrying the same party-first DNA.

A speaker for every kind of party

Specs matter when you want your music to move people. The Power 9000 sits at the top with 440 watts of continuous output, driven by dual 10-inch woofers and twin 1-inch horn tweeters. The Power 7000 steps down slightly: 340 watts, one 10-inch woofer and dual 1-inch horn tweeters. The Power 5000 is the compact bruiser: an 8-inch woofer, dual 2-inch tweeters and 260 watts of power.

These are not just brute-force drivers. LG layered software features on top: colorful AI lighting that reacts to the beat, DJ-style performance effects, and a smart stand that pulls up song lyrics from a paired phone or tablet so anyone can sing along.

Two people can grab the mic at once. The built-in AI Karaoke Master removes vocals, shifts pitch, and can flip regular tracks into karaoke-ready versions with a single tap. Want the vocals down and the crowd loud? It handles that on cue.

Sound adapts, too. The speakers analyze music type and listening space, then tune output to fit the room or an outdoor setting — a behavior LG previously explored with the xboom Stage 501 series.

• Auracast support lets multiple xboom units play the same audio wirelessly, for wider coverage without messy wiring.
• Two mic inputs and karaoke features built for spontaneity.
• Beat-reactive lighting and DJ effects for visual punch.

So what does will.i.am bring to the table that standard tuning won't? Think of it as crowd psychology translated into EQ: punchier low frequencies to move bodies, plus clarity that prevents vocals and synths from getting lost under the bass. It’s a deliberate choice — a stylistic nudge toward livelier listening.

LG's xboom Power lineup aims to make parties easier to run and harder to forget.

Will these speakers change how we think about consumer party audio? Not overnight. But they do signal a push: louder, smarter, and designed with performance-oriented tuning from a pop-culture collaborator who knows how a hit should feel. Expect LG to position the xboom Power models as lifestyle gear first and, yes, as loudspeakers second.
