(Photo : LG) LG has unveiled six new speakers coming to CES 2015, capable of playing music when a smartphone is near.
LG has unveiled its first CES 2015 products, part of the Music Flow range. The new products will work with the Music Flow app, and LG has some smart functionality up its sleeve.
The new range will include three sound bars and three speakers, all coming in 2015. LG is going all out to compete with Sonos, Samsung and other audio providers.

The big change in 2015 will be the integration of LG's Music Flow app, allowing users to connect the speaker or sound bar to a smartphone, and have music play on the speaker when the smartphone is nearby.
"Music on a smartphone will automatically begin playing on a Music Flow Wi-Fi speaker when the phone comes within one foot. So you could be listening to music on your headphones on the subway ride home but the music will begin playing automatically from your living room Wi-Fi Sound Bar when you enter your living room."
The LG Music Flow app will work with Spotify and other streaming services, allowing users seamless change from headphones to speakers. It will require the user to own an LG smartphone, something most U.S. residents do not own currently.
LG will also partner up with messaging service LINE, giving users another way to connect with the speaker and set certain playlists up. This is the first look HomeChat service, allowing users to send messages to LG's home products.
The full overview of the product will be available at CES 2015 in January, where LG and other product manufacturers will show off new products for the first half of 2015.
