JBL Speakers and Audio Solutions

JBL is a world-renowned brand specializing in audio equipment, including loudspeakers, headphones, and professional sound systems. Founded by James Bullough Lansing in the United States in the mid-20th century, the brand has become synonymous with high-quality sound in both consumer electronics and professional cinema and stadium environments.

Today, JBL products are manufactured in several locations worldwide to meet global demand, with significant production facilities in China, Mexico, and Vietnam, though high-end professional equipment is often designed in the United States. The brand underwent several corporate transitions, eventually becoming part of the Harman International Industries group.

In 2017, a major shift in ownership occurred when Samsung Electronics acquired Harman International for approximately $8 billion. This acquisition placed JBL under the umbrella of one of the world's largest consumer electronics conglomerates, allowing for deep integration with mobile and smart home technologies while maintaining JBL's legacy as a premier audio brand.
