LG Electronics is expanding its popular xboom Buds series and is launching two new models on the market: the xboom Buds Plus and the xboom Buds Lite. Developed in collaboration with musician and producer will.i.am, the new in-ear headphones focus on high-quality sound, smart features and long battery life. While the Buds Plus boast premium features for audiophile listeners, the Buds Lite offer a solid balance of sound quality, comfort and endurance for everyday use.
- Graphene drivers with rich bass and distortion-free sound
- Intelligent ANC technology with adaptive noise cancellation
- Battery life up to 11.5 hours (Lite) or 10 hours (Plus), extendable with charging case
- Bluetooth 5.4, multi-pairing, Auracast and wireless charging (Plus)
Premium features with the xboom Buds Plus
The LG xboom Buds Plus are aimed at listeners who value maximum audio quality and smart additional functions. An adaptive equalizer monitors the fit of the earphones in real time and automatically compensates for changes. This ensures that the bass always remains powerful and the sound is balanced – regardless of whether the earbuds are worn during sport or when traveling.
A three-microphone system ensures clear speech intelligibility in noisy environments, which improves noise suppression and raises phone calls to a professional level. A noise-cancelling optimization tool is also available via the associated LG app, which recommends the right earplugs for the best fit.
Another highlight is the Plug & Wireless function: the charging case can bring devices without Bluetooth – such as aircraft entertainment systems or fitness equipment – into the wireless age through integrated forwarding. The model also supports Auracast, which allows music or audio content to be streamed to multiple devices simultaneously. The premium set is rounded off by wireless charging of the charging case, which increases convenience and flexibility in everyday life.
Suitability for everyday use with the xboom Buds Lite
The xboom Buds Lite focus on reduction without compromising on sound and endurance. They also have high-quality graphene drivers that deliver a clear, detailed sound and rich bass. EQ profiles with four sound modes are available for customization – from relaxed to energetic.
The long battery life is particularly pleasing: up to 11.5 hours per charge and a total of 35 hours with the charging case make the Lite version an ideal companion for commuters or long days of travel. Active noise cancellation is also included, which reduces disturbing ambient noise and enhances music enjoyment. Thanks to the ergonomic design with different earmold sizes, the earbuds sit securely and comfortably – a plus point when you’re on the move.
The Lite version also offers Bluetooth 5.4 for stable connections, low-latency streaming and simple multi-pairing between laptop, smartphone and tablet. They therefore combine a good price-performance ratio with the typical flexibility of modern premium buds.
Conclusion
With the new xboom Buds Plus and xboom Buds Lite, LG is expanding its true wireless line with two exciting models. While the Plus version scores with high-end features such as adaptive equalizer, three microphones, Auracast and Plug & Wireless, the Lite buds deliver powerful battery performance and all the basic functions for a mobile music experience. Both models will be released in September and are available in Germany at an RRP of 229 euros (Plus) and 109 euros (Lite). LG is thus convincingly covering both the premium segment and the price-conscious segment of wireless earphones.
