LG Electronics is adding two new models to its xboom Buds lineup: Buds Plus and Buds Lite. These buds follow the success of the original xboom Buds launched in January. They aim to deliver great sound quality for everyone, from casual listeners to serious audiophiles.
One standout feature is their high-resolution audio, crafted by musician will.i.am. The Buds are designed to offer immersive sound, long battery life, and a comfortable fit, perfect for any listening situation.
Key Features for All Models:
- Immersive Sound: Thanks to lightweight graphene drivers, the audio is clear and powerful.
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): This technology drowns out background noise, enhancing your listening experience.
- Long Battery Life: Enjoy up to 10 hours of playback, with the charging case extending that to 30 hours. Buds Lite even last longer.
- Seamless Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 allows for stable connections, while Multi-Point and Fast Pair make switching devices simple.
- Comfort Fit: The buds come with various ear tip sizes, ensuring a secure fit for everyone.
Buds Plus: For the Serious Listener
Buds Plus focus on providing a higher-quality audio experience. They feature an Adaptive EQ that automatically adjusts the sound based on how the earbuds fit in your ears. This means you’ll always get rich, consistent audio. Plus, a triple microphone system improves call quality, especially in noisy settings.
To help users find the best fit, the xboom Buds app offers ear gel recommendations, enhancing both comfort and sound isolation. Hygiene is also a priority; the Buds Plus charging case uses UVnano technology to sanitize the earbuds while charging, eliminating 99.9% of bacteria.
Another exciting feature is the Plug & Wireless function, which allows the charging case to act as a Bluetooth transmitter for devices without Bluetooth, like gym equipment or in-flight systems. Wireless charging makes it easy to keep the case powered up.
Buds Lite: Simplicity Meets Quality
Buds Lite are designed for those who want straightforward, high-quality audio. They also use graphene drivers, providing balanced sound for music and calls. With up to 11.5 hours of battery life per charge and an impressive 35 hours with the case, they’re perfect for long days out.
These earbuds offer Mild ANC and four customizable EQ modes, letting users tailor their audio experience based on their environment.

Opening up about the new models, Lee Jeong-seok from LG’s audio division said, “Sound has always been part of LG’s identity… With xboom Buds Plus and Buds Lite, we are honoring that legacy by making high-quality audio available to more people.”

Recent surveys show that audio quality is a growing priority for consumers, especially among younger generations. According to a 2023 report from Deloitte, over 70% of consumers now prefer high-quality audio experiences, favoring products that offer convenience and superior sound.
With the new xboom Buds models rolling out in major markets from September, LG reinforces its commitment to creating audio solutions that fit seamlessly into everyday life.
