ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today announced the global launch of LG xboom Blast, a premium portable Bluetooth party speaker designed to bring the energy of a great party wherever people gather. Built for beach days, camping trips, poolside gatherings and backyard celebrations, LG xboom Blast combines powerful sound, long-lasting reliability and intelligent audio technologies in a durable, portable design.

LG xboom Blast expands LG's growing family of xboom party speakers with a model designed specifically for outdoor use. With up to 36 hours¹ of battery life and IP68-rated protection, the LG xboom Blast combines powerful audio, portability and durability to help users enjoy immersive sound across a wide range of outdoor environments.

All-Day Reliability for Outdoor Freedom

When the party moves outdoors, people want the music to last as long as the experience itself. LG xboom Blast features Play Time Enhance technology that provides up to 36 hours¹ of audio playback on a single charge.

Together with IP68-rated protection² and verification through seven military-grade durability tests³, the speaker is designed to withstand dust, water and the demands of outdoor use, giving users the confidence to keep the music going from afternoon gatherings through late-night celebrations.

Powerful Sound That Brings the Party Anywhere

At the heart of LG xboom Blast is xboom Signature Sound tuned by will.i.am. The xboom Blast fills large spaces with rich, immersive sound designed for parties and gatherings.

Its high-output speaker system combines two 5.25-inch neodymium woofers with two 20-millimeter tweeters from Danish audio brand Peerless to produce deep bass, crisp highs and balanced full-range audio that brings greater energy and excitement to every party. Users can stream their favorite music wirelessly via Bluetooth or connect through USB-C for high-fidelity wired playback⁴.

Intelligent Audio That Adapts to Every Setting

Outdoor environments and social gatherings present different acoustic conditions. To help users enjoy great sound without manual adjustments, AI Sound analyzes music and other audio content in real time and automatically adjusts sound settings to optimize playback, while Space Calibration Pro automatically adapts sound output based on the surrounding environment.

Sound Field Enhance expands the perceived soundstage for more immersive listening, and AI Lighting synchronizes the speaker's Dual Ring Lighting effects with different genres, moods and playlists to create a more engaging party atmosphere. For larger gatherings, Auracast™⁵ enables multiple compatible speakers to connect wirelessly, extending sound coverage for larger shared listening experiences.

Designed for Easy Outdoor Mobility

Inspired by the familiarity of a weekend duffel bag, xboom Blast has a convenient dual fabric handle for easy portability and a vertical rope handle for upright placement. The vertical rope handle supports vertical carrying, providing added flexibility when moving the speaker between outdoor locations such as the beach or campsite. Recognized with a 2026 Red Dot Design Award, the speaker combines practical portability with a unique visual identity inspired by outdoor lifestyles.

A durable fabric exterior and protective side bumpers support use on the go, while vertical or horizontal placement gives users more flexibility when setting up the speaker in different spaces, from crowded beach blankets to larger outdoor gathering areas.

Pricing and availability of the new LG xboom Blast in the US will be announced at a later date.
