JBL Headphones

JBL is a world-renowned audio brand with a rich history in high-fidelity sound. Founded in the United States in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing, the company initially focused on loudspeaker components and studio monitors before expanding into consumer electronics like the wireless headphones seen here.

Today, JBL products are primarily manufactured in China to leverage large-scale electronics production hubs, though some high-end components may be sourced globally. The brand is a core part of the Harman International Industries group, which manages a wide portfolio of luxury and consumer audio brands. Harman was acquired by the South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics in 2017, meaning JBL is now ultimately owned by Samsung. This ownership has allowed JBL to integrate advanced connectivity and electronics technology into its audio products while maintaining its American design heritage.
