The Sony CES 2025 keynote is just around the corner. You can watch and follow the live coverage here. The Afeela electric vehicle was a big part of Sony’s 2023 and 2024 CES press conferences, and we expect that to continue this year, appearing at Sony’s event (and subsequent press conferences) as well. Already confirmed. This represents a change for Sony, a mainstay at CES. The company has been in the consumer electronics space for decades, best known for the next-generation PlayStation console and Alpha camera, as well as Walkman portables and Trinitron TVs.
What to expect at Sony’s CES 2025 press conference
Afeela is the first product from Sony Honda Mobility, a joint venture between the Japanese electronics and transportation giant. After a surprise announcement at CES 2023, Sony’s CES reporters revealed additional details about the EV’s LiDAR-massive sensor array and AI-enhanced cabin technology (the latter with help from Microsoft) at CES 2024. Waypoint — pre-ordered in 2025 ahead of a 2026 release — will remain in place, but we’re curious to know which one is better. What’s great about Afeela’s concept car is that it really shines when it hits real-world streets.
Of course, Afeela isn’t always the only one in Las Vegas. It is expected that Sony will also take time to discuss its imaging, gaming, or movie studio divisions. And with any luck, we’ll get more information about the company’s XR headset, which was unveiled at the 2024 show but never seen again. CES 2025 would be the perfect place to show off major updates to a potential Apple Vision Pro competitor.

Will.i.am continues to appear at CES
LG’s xboom Grab is the most compact option in the new lineup. (Billy Steele for Engadget) It wouldn’t be CES without some celebrity announcements. Those of us who have been covering this event for a while are familiar with will.i.am’s commitment to developing successful high-tech products. Who can forget the PULS bracelet, which was released at the beginning of the smartwatch and wearable craze?Anyway, will.i.am continues to make its presence felt at conferences, this time with LG. It’s through collaboration. In fact, just before CES 2025 began, the company appointed the musician as “Experiential Architect” to collaborate on the xboom audio product line.
This week Billy Steele was able to check out the LG xboom in person, including three speakers. Grab is the smallest of them, but Billy thought:
“I was pleasantly surprised by how much bass the xboom Grab was able to rake out during the demo. Punchy highs and solid mids were well-reproduced with great detail. It seemed a bit muffled to me, but I only had a quick listen so I don’t need a full review.” Another surprising thing is that the xboom Grab was only at 50% volume, an almost unpleasant level of noise in the room. is to generate sound. ”
