Hence, we are starting to see more such products being introduced to the world including LG ThinQ Speaker which will be making its debut at the upcoming CES 2018.

At the same time, LG also didn’t mention any detailed specifications in the press announcement. However, it has pointed out that the ThinQ Speaker will be able to deliver quality output with the help of the company’s partnership with Meridian Audio. The speaker will also be able to support high-quality lossless files which should be a great news to audiophiles out there.
Aside from ThinQ Speaker, the company will also be bringing the Dolby Atmos-enabled SK10Y soundbar, PK series portable speakers, and several party speakers to CES 2018. Together with its other new products such as monitors, laptops, and many more, it is likely to be yet another massive outing for the company at the annual tech event.
