NOW AVAILABLE: “XBOOM BY WILL.I.AM” WITH FYI.RAiDiO — THE SPEAKER THAT TALKS BACK

LOS ANGELES, CA (SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2025) - FYI.AI, the creative technology company founded by artist and entrepreneur will.i.am, and LG Electronics today announced that FYI.RAiDiO, an interactive audio service powered by artificial intelligence, is now available on select models of the “LG xboom by will.i.am” Bluetooth speaker lineup. This marks the next step in the ongoing collaboration between LG and FYI, combining advance audio engineering with culturally intelligent AI to deliver a more personal and dynamic listening experience.

FYI.RAiDiO is not just another streaming service, it is one where users can interact with the DJ. Users can engage with AI Personas in real time, asking questions about the music playing, exploring artist stories, checking local events, or receiving lifestyle tips. These AI DJs are designed to reflect diverse cultural perspectives, making every interaction feel relevant, conversational, and human.

This service is now integrated into the LG xboom Bounce and LG xboom Grab models, allowing users to access FYI.RAiDiO directly through the FYI app. Each compatible speaker includes a dedicated “MY Button”, enabling instant voice interaction with your favorite AI DJ. This transforms the speaker from a passive device into a responsive companion that listens, informs, and entertains.

The full LG xboom by will.i.am collection includes the Bounce, Grab, Stage 301, and Buds—smart Bluetooth audio products designed to deliver rich sound and intelligent performance. Built-in AI features analyze the content being played and automatically adjust sound settings to emphasize melody, rhythm, or vocals, ensuring every moment sounds its best.

FYI.RAiDiO is also available through the FYI app, which can be downloaded on both Apple and Android devices (AppStore/PlayStore).

Consumers can now get their hands on the innovative lineup of Bluetooth speakers and earbuds that merge signature sound with interactive AI DJs, transforming traditional listening into a two-way conversation.

LG xboom by will.i.am is available at LG.com and at LG authorized retailers nationwide.
