No karaoke version? No problem!

LG’s Xboom Stage 501 party speaker is now available to buy for $499.99 (technically $449.99 after a $50 rebate). Like Soundcore’s Rave 3S, the new Xboom speaker has an AI feature that can remove vocals, turning “virtually any song” into a karaoke track.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.
