JBL is a legendary American audio brand founded by James Bullough Lansing in 1946. Known for its high-quality sound equipment ranging from professional cinema speakers to consumer headphones, the brand has its roots in Los Angeles, California. The product shown is the JBL GO 2, a compact and waterproof Bluetooth speaker designed for portability.

In 1969, JBL was acquired by Harman International Industries, which became a subsidiary of the South Korean giant Samsung Electronics in 2017. While the engineering and design of JBL products often originate in the United States, the manufacturing is conducted globally, with major production facilities located in China, Mexico, and Vietnam to meet international demand. The JBL GO series, in particular, is largely manufactured in China.
