JBL is a legendary American audio brand founded in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing. Known for its innovation in loudspeaker technology, the brand has transitioned from a professional studio powerhouse to a leader in portable consumer lifestyle electronics, such as the Pulse series pictured.
While the brand's engineering and heritage are rooted in the United States, manufacturing for its consumer electronics line is primarily concentrated in China and Vietnam to meet global demand. In 2017, the brand's parent company, Harman International, was acquired by Samsung Electronics, placing JBL under the ultimate ownership of the South Korean tech giant. This acquisition has integrated JBL’s audio expertise with Samsung’s vast global distribution and technological ecosystem.
