JBL Clip 4 Portable Speaker

The JBL Clip 4 is a rugged and portable Bluetooth speaker known for its integrated carabiner and waterproof design. The brand, JBL, has a long-standing history in the audio industry, originally founded in the United States by James Bullough Lansing in 1946. Over decades, it became a cornerstone brand for high-quality audio equipment ranging from home speakers to professional sound systems.

While the brand originated in the USA, current manufacturing for consumer products like the Clip 4 typically occurs in China to optimize global distribution. The ownership of JBL has transitioned through major corporate entities; it became a subsidiary of Harman International Industries in 1969. In a significant industry shift in 2017, Harman International was acquired by the South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics. Today, JBL remains under the Harman International umbrella, which operates as a subsidiary of Samsung.
