JBL OnBeat Micro Speaker Dock

The JBL OnBeat Micro is a portable speaker dock designed specifically for Apple devices with a Lightning connector. JBL was originally founded in the United States by James Bullough Lansing in 1946. Over the decades, it became a pioneer in loudspeaker technology for both consumer and professional markets. Manufacturing for this specific consumer electronic product primarily takes place in China, which is standard for most of the brand's portable audio equipment.

Today, the brand is owned by Harman International Industries, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics in 2017. Despite the change in ownership, the brand remains headquartered in the United States, continuing its legacy of high-performance audio engineering under the larger Samsung corporate umbrella.
