During a recent 13-hour flight from Las Vegas to Incheon on January 10, LG Electronics’ XBOOM Buds Plus proved to be a product specialized for travelers. While most airplane seat monitors don’t support Bluetooth, the XBOOM’s Plug & Wireless feature allows users to enjoy wireless audio content. After connecting the included cable between the front seat screen’s audio jack and the charging case, users can activate the Plug & Wireless function by pressing the designated button on the case for 3-5 seconds. This eliminates the hassle of managing wired earbuds during meals or restroom breaks, a common inconvenience for air travelers.
The XBOOM Buds Plus also shines in gym settings where wired earphones are often required. It is equally useful at the gym, where many treadmills still rely on wired connections for TV audio. Just like on a plane, users can connect the dedicated cable to a treadmill’s external input jack, allowing them to enjoy wireless audio from the machine’s screen.
Launched in September last year, the XBOOM Buds Plus has garnered praise for its competitive pricing, retailing at around 199,000 KRW (approximately 134 USD). Its noise-canceling capabilities impressed during the flight, which effectively blocks out nearby conversations and ambient noise.
