JBL is a historic American audio brand known for its high-quality speakers and headphones. The product shown is a portable Bluetooth speaker from the popular JBL Flip or Charge series, characterized by its cylindrical mesh design and signature red logo. Traditionally an American-founded company, the brand's manufacturing is now primarily based in China for its consumer electronics line to maintain global distribution efficiency.

The brand's journey began in the United States, founded by James Bullough Lansing. Over decades, it evolved into a pillar of the audio industry. In modern times, the brand operates as a major part of the Harman International industries. Since 2017, the ownership has stabilized under Samsung Electronics, which acquired Harman to strengthen its position in the automotive and connected technologies sectors. Today, JBL continues to represent premium audio performance under South Korean corporate stewardship.
