Refresh summer’s sound with LG audio
April 20, 2022 8:51 p.m.
Summer is fast approaching and you know what that means – it’s time to party (responsibly, of course). The best place to catch up with friends and family in a socially responsible way is to hold the gathering at the comfort of home. Having house events, whether it’s a pool party, a karaoke contest, or a simple catching up session, lets you celebrate while maintaining safety as a priority.
One of the best ways to chill and keep the vibe going during house parties is to have a great sound system.
Even if guests are socially distancing themselves, they’ll still be able to enjoy the music or program you’ve prepared. LG’s XBOOM CL88 offers a powerful 2900-watt sound that is sure to keep your party going strong until late in the evening.
If you feel the sound is still lacking, you can link multiple units to double the power.
If dancing is on everyone’s mind, the LG’s XBOOM CL88 has colored lights that flash in sync with the music to add excitement and atmosphere to parties.
If you or one of your guests has dreams of becoming a DJ, you’re in luck. You can use the DJ app to have fun using a variety of DJ sound effects straight from your smartphone.
It also has a party accelerator function that builds up sound, culminating in a thunderous boom. Make sure your neighbors are out. Or invite them to the party, too.
The Karaoke Star feature is key to making your Summer parties enjoyable. Singing is easy and enjoyable with a voice canceller to reduce in-track vocals and a key changer that tunes the music to your voice.
You can also choose 18 different vocal effects to sing with. Make sure to disinfect the mic with each use. If your house party is geared towards sports, you can also connect the CL88 to your LG TV via Bluetooth® to experience a more impressive, room-filling sound.
Prepare for your Summer party by purchasing the LG XBOOM CL88 today. You can visit www.lg.com/ph for more information.
You can purchase the XBOOM speakers from authorized retailers or in LG’s flagship online stores in Lazada and Shopee.

We checked what’s inside the HONOR X9c 5G and here’s why it’s the toughest phone of 2025
7:30 p.m. January 3, 2025
Leading smart devices provider HONOR Philippines has done it again with its viral and elevated durability challenge for the most awaited toughest phone of the year, the HONOR X9c 5G. To prove durability claims, HONOR has shared the secrets of how HONOR X9c 5G became highly durable.
“HONOR X9c 5G has an All-Angle Triple Defense now. It is not just drop-resistant anymore where HONOR X9a and X9b 5G were known for. It is now water and heat-resistant that made this smartphone the toughest phone to hit the market yet,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
What’s behind HONOR X9c 5G’s Ultra-Toughness
- Back-to-back Super Double Tempered Glass – Not only does the screen use this top-of-the-line tempered class, but the camera module also uses the same material. This glass is more durable than others making it more drop-resistant and scratch-resistant. With this, HONOR X9c 5G now has 360-degree drop resistance for up to two meters in height. HONOR X9c 5G also has survived more than 10 surfaces drop test on marble, cobblestone, gravel, asphalt etc.
- Technical principle-under-screen shock-absorbing material – Simply put, the gap between the screen and the middle frame is filled with shock-absorbing materials to reduce the impact of the hard supporting objects of the middle frame on the screen.
- 3-layer Water-Resistant Structure – The first layer is an external leakage port protection for side key port, SPK hole, and card tray hole upgraded to LIM (Liquid Injection Molding) rubber ring. The second layer protection which is for interface has USB rubber sleeve adopting straight surface matching + double sealing ribs; the card holder pokes pinholes to control roughness; and the leakage is reduced. The third layer is for board level and software protection: BTB protection with added foam; waterproof detection + software protection
