JBL Bluetooth Speakers and Audio Equipment

JBL is a legendary name in the audio industry, originally founded in the United States by James Bullough Lansing in 1946. Known for its high-performance loudspeakers and professional sound equipment, the brand became a staple in both cinema sound systems and home audio markets throughout the mid-20th century.

Today, JBL is a key brand under the Harman International Industries umbrella. While the engineering and design concepts often stem from laboratories in the United States, the manufacturing footprint is global, with most consumer-grade electronics produced in China to leverage large-scale production facilities. Professional and specialized lines may still be manufactured in other regions including Mexico and Europe.

Since 2017, the ultimate ownership of JBL lies with the South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics. This acquisition has integrated JBL’s sound technology across a wider ecosystem of consumer electronics, maintaining its status as a global leader in portable audio solutions and professional sound reinforcement.
