LG xboom Buds Plus and Buds Lite Launch in the US With ANC, UVnano+ Case, and Up to 35 Hours Battery
LG has expanded its xboom audio range in partnership with nine-time Grammy winner will.i.am. The company has introduced two new true wireless models, the LG xboom Buds Plus and the LG xboom Buds Lite. These earbuds were initially released in South Korea in September 2025 and are now rolling out more widely. Both models are part of the “xboom by will.i.am” lineup, with will.i.am closely involved in tuning and shaping the sound profile.

According to LG, the earbuds are tuned to deliver balanced warm tones that reflect will.i.am’s sound preferences. The new models were presented at the FYI Visionaries event, where the expanded xboom lineup was showcased.
LG xboom Buds Plus
The Buds Plus are designed as the most advanced model in the lineup. They feature a UVnano+ charging case that uses UV-C light to reduce bacteria on the earbud speaker mesh. Independent testing shows that the UVnano system eliminates 99.9 percent of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae within ten minutes of charging when the case is connected to a power cable. Users can also set the UV function to activate automatically whenever the earbuds are placed inside the case and the lid is closed.
Active Noise Cancellation is supported through a three-microphone system that improves noise detection and reduction. With ANC turned off, the earbuds provide up to 10 hours of continuous playback. The charging case adds up to 20 more hours, bringing total playback to up to 30 hours. Actual battery life depends on usage and settings.
The Buds Plus also support 3D Spatial Audio for a wider soundstage and multi-point connection for switching between devices without disconnecting. Users can adjust sound through customizable EQ settings. The earbuds carry an IPX4 rating under IEC 60529 standards, meaning they are resistant to splashes of water. They should be dried before use and must not be charged while wet. The charging case is not IPX4 rated.
A built-in Bluetooth transmitter allows the Buds Plus to connect wirelessly to devices that have a headphone jack, such as in-flight entertainment systems or treadmills. Compatibility may vary depending on the device.
LG xboom Buds Lite
The Buds Lite focus on portability with a compact and lightweight design. They deliver up to 11.5 hours of continuous playback from the earbuds. With the charging case, total playback reaches up to 35 hours when ANC is turned off. Actual performance varies based on usage.
The Buds Lite use a single microphone to monitor ambient noise, which results in a different ANC experience compared to the three-microphone system on the Buds and Buds Plus. They also include customizable EQ settings and carry an IPX4 water resistance rating for protection against splashes.
The LG xboom Buds Plus are priced at $179.99 and are available now on LG.com and through LG authorized retailers across the United States. The LG xboom Buds Lite are priced at $69.99 and are also available online and at authorized retailers nationwide.
