JBL is a legendary American audio brand founded by James Bullough Lansing in 1946. Known for its high-quality loudspeakers and sound equipment, the brand has a rich history of providing audio solutions for both professional and consumer markets.
While the brand originated in the United States and continues to design and engineer many products there, the manufacturing of consumer electronics like the JBL Go 4 portable speaker takes place in various countries, with a significant majority being produced in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies.
Today, JBL is a key part of the HARMAN International umbrella. HARMAN was originally an independent American company, but it was acquired by the South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics in 2017. As of 2026, JBL operates as a core brand within Samsung's portfolio, benefiting from Samsung's extensive technological resources and global distribution network.
