JBL reaches 100m milestone
Music moves us and JBL portable speakers move with you
IFA 2019, SEPTEMBER 5, 2019 – JBL pushes the boundaries again. 100 million portable speakers have been shipped worldwide. To put that into perspective, that’s the entire population of Germany and the Netherlands owning a JBL speaker, with a few million spare! That’s a lot of music. Whether you’re into pop, EDM or grime, it’s a lot of happy times.
From the JBL Go, Clip, Charge, Pulse, Xtreme and Boombox to the new limited edition JBL Flip 5 ‘Ocean’ and ‘Forest’ made from recycled plastic, there’s a commitment to continually drive product development. More than 40 engineers across acoustic, software, mechanical and electronic work on one speaker style making it the best it can be. JBL relies heavily on consumer research to understand how people want to enjoy their music.
JBL injects music into life wherever and whenever you want. Whether you’re a musician or an athlete or in venues and automobiles, JBL puts smiles on faces through the power of music. For over 70 years, JBL engineers have been designing, creating and testing to always bring you the best. This innovation has led to JBL being the market leader for five years running.
