LG announces two new xboom Buds including a brand new premium version

FULL STORY
======================================================================LG 
launches new xboom Buds Plus and xboom Buds Lite ANC, long battery life, and 
useful Plug & Wireless feature in the Plus version Pricing TBC; current xboom 
Buds are $99 / 119 (about AU$240) 

LG has announced two new versions of its xboom Buds, its collaboration with 
will.i.am. The new models include a new premium Plus version that includes 
LG's excellent Plug & Wireless feature, something we've enjoyed in other LG 
earbuds. 

The Plug & Wireless feature turns the charging case into a Bluetooth 
transmitter for the buds when the case is connected to wired audio sources, 
enabling you to go wireless with in-flight audio, gym equipment and other 
old-school sound sources. It also has Auracast for multi-device transmission. 

The Buds Plus and Buds Lite both have lightweight graphene drivers and 
versions of LG's ANC. The Buds Plus deliver up to 10 hours of playback and 30 
with the charging case for the Plus; the Lite can go for 11.5 hours and 35 
hours respectively. Both versions have Bluetooth 5.4 with multi-point and 
Fast Pair. 

The Buds Lite seem to have a decent if unremarkable spec  depending on the 
price, which hasn't been disclosed yet  but it's the Buds Plus that I think 
are the more interesting earbuds. The Buds Plus (pictured) are the more 
interesting option with the highest specification in the range. (Image

The Plug & Wireless feature in the Buds Plus particularly caught our 
attention in the LG Tone Free T90S , which we really liked. And the Buds Plus 
also get the UV-disinfecting charging case that promises to kill 99.9% of 
bacteria from your buds. 

The Plus have an adaptive EQ system that continuously optimizes the audio, 
and a triple-mic ANC system. And the charging case can be topped up 
wirelessly for extra convenience. 

As the name suggests, the Buds Lite are a less premium option. They also have 
graphene drivers but the ANC is what LG calls "Mild ANC", and instead of 
adaptive EQ there are four adjustable EQ presets. 

Pricing for the new buds hasn't been announced just yet even though they go 
on sale later this month (September 2025), but the Buds Plus are designed to 
sit above the $99 / 119 xboom Buds, and the Buds Lite sit below them. 

The xboom Buds Plus and xboom Buds Lite will begin rolling out worldwide 
later this month. You might also like Our LG Tone Free T90S review: hi-res
