JBL Wave Flex 2 earbuds

JBL is a legendary American audio brand founded in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing. The brand has a storied history in both consumer and professional audio markets, becoming one of the most recognizable names in headphones and speakers worldwide. While the brand has its roots in the United States, most of its modern consumer electronics, like the Wave Flex 2 earbuds, are manufactured in China to leverage global supply chains.

Since 2017, JBL has been a key brand under the HARMAN International umbrella, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Samsung, based in South Korea, is the ultimate owner of the brand. This corporate structure allows JBL to integrate advanced technological innovations while maintaining its signature sound profile. Individual product distribution is typically handled by Harman's regional subsidiaries.
