LG Electronics is introducing a party Bluetooth speaker that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create an instant karaoke experience by removing vocals from music, while also optimizing sound and lighting to match the tunes.

The company announced on Monday the release of its new party Bluetooth speaker, the Xboom Stage 501.

The new product boasts powerful sound and an AI Karaoke Master feature that transforms any space into a stage. It delivers Xboom's signature sound, tuned by global music star will.i.am, through two woofers and two full-range drivers incorporating audio technology from Danish brand Peerless. The speaker promises deep bass and expansive, vivid sound fitting for performance-grade audio.

This product is equipped with AI features including △AI Karaoke Master △AI Sound △AI Lighting.

The AI Karaoke Master creates an instant karaoke environment at the push of a button, without the need for a separate app. Using AI-based sound and voice separation technology, it provides a backing track mode by removing vocals from music and can adjust the song's key to match the user's vocal range.

AI Sound analyzes the audio being played and offers three sound modes - Standard, Bass Boost, and Clear Voice - tailored to different genres. AI Lighting analyzes the music's genre and mood to create ambiance lighting that syncs with the rhythm and beats.

Additionally, the speaker features Spatial Awareness Sound, which periodically detects its surroundings to optimize audio output. It also supports Multi Mode for connecting multiple speakers to play the same sound simultaneously, and Stereo Mode which splits two Xboom speakers into left and right channels for immersive audio.

The product comes in black and measures approximately 30 cm (about 11.8 in) in width, 59 cm (about 23.2 in) in height, and 30 cm (about 11.8 in) in depth. A single charge provides up to 25 hours of wireless playback, making it suitable for outdoor events or parties where power sources may be limited. Its stage-fit design enhances versatility, allowing users to position the speaker horizontally, vertically, at an angle, or on a separate stand. A built-in handle improves portability. The speaker has won both the 2026 Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award.

The retail price is set at 699,000 KRW (approximately 471 USD). It's available for purchase through LG Electronics' official online brand shop, LGE.com, and other online specialty retailers.
