JBL is one of the most recognized names in the global audio industry, with a legacy spanning over 75 years. Founded in the United States, the brand built its reputation by providing high-fidelity sound solutions for both cinema and professional studio environments before expanding into the consumer market with iconic portable speakers and headphones.
While the brand was originally founded and engineered in California, its manufacturing footprint is now global. Professional-grade equipment and specialized components are often assembled across various international facilities, including locations in China, Mexico, and Vietnam, to meet global demand while maintaining engineering standards established in the United States.
Since 2017, JBL has been a core part of the Samsung Electronics family. This ownership began when Samsung acquired Harman International Industries, JBL's parent company. Today, JBL operates as a subsidiary under the Harman division, benefiting from Samsung's extensive technological ecosystem while maintaining its own distinct brand identity and focus on acoustic innovation.
