Meanwhile, the Blast is your outdoorsy companion, ready to pump up beach days, camping trips, and backyard jams that last from dawn 'til dusk.

Both sports the AI-driven xBoom platform, co-crafted with will.i.am’s signature sound touch, packing a robust 99 Wh battery—enough juice to outlast even your longest playlist. And the real cherry on top? The seamless fusion of lighting and sound that turns any space into an instant mood haven.

xBoom Stage 501: Your Living Room Karaoke Champion

Picture this: the room slowly fills with friends, drinks appear, and suddenly—it’s karaoke time. The trusty Stage 501 is already nestled in the corner, its wedge-shaped cabinet angled just right, LEDs pulsing to the beat like it’s the life of the party.

This speaker cranks up to 220 watts when plugged in, or a solid 160 watts on battery power, delivering rich sound through dual 2.5-inch woofers, full-range drivers, and Peerless tweeters. Whether it’s deep bass drops or soaring high notes, the Stage 501 handles it effortlessly.

What truly sets the Stage 501 apart is its AI Karaoke Master. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill karaoke machine hunting for special vocal-free tracks. Nope, it uses deep learning trained on over 10,000 songs to strip or lower vocals on virtually any tune in your library. It even shifts pitch, letting you duet or sing solo alongside the original artist without a hitch.

Add to this AI Sound and Space Calibration Pro, which listens to your room and the music you're playing, tweaking EQ and output for the perfect soundscape.

The top panel becomes a command center during your karaoke nights. A slot holds your phone for lyrics, mics plug in seamlessly, and a large central dial controls volume and party effects. The five-sided design lets you position the speaker upright, flat, tilted, or even mounted on a tripod. So your weekday TV sidekick transforms effortlessly into a patio or rented hall superstar for birthdays or celebrations.
