JBL is a world-renowned American audio electronics brand, originally founded by James Bullough Lansing in 1946. Known for its high-quality professional and consumer audio equipment, the brand has been a staple in the music and entertainment industry for decades.

Today, JBL is owned by Harman International Industries, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the South Korean electronics giant Samsung Electronics in 2017. While the brand retains its American roots and design heritage, the majority of its consumer portable speakers, like the JBL Charge series shown, are manufactured in large-scale production facilities in China and Vietnam to meet global demand.
