JBL Wave Buds 2

JBL Wave Buds 2 are a prominent part of the consumer audio market, specifically the True Wireless Stereo (TWS) category. The JBL brand was founded in the United States in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing, a pioneer in loudspeaker technology. Over the decades, JBL transitioned from a high-end professional audio specialist to a mainstream consumer brand known for its heavy bass and rugged portable designs.

Today, JBL is a subsidiary of Harman International Industries, which was acquired by the South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics in 2017. While the brand maintains its creative roots in the United States, its high-volume consumer products, like the Wave Buds series, are primarily manufactured in China to leverage large-scale production facilities and global logistics networks. The ultimate ownership by Samsung places JBL within one of the world's largest technology ecosystems.
