Tuned into the environment
This was the year our JBL Flip 5 Eco editions made their debut. Designed with post-consumer recycled materials, these speakers kicked off our commitment to creating more sustainable products and packaging.
STARTED LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD
This was the year we first partnered up with 1,000 Dreams Fund, which offers grants to help women in gaming jumpstart their careers. Oh, and the year we changed gaming tech forever with JBL Quantum—our most hyper-accurate, immersive sound yet.
DELIVERED TRUE SOUND TO TRUE FANS
Sound as sweet as the action on the pitch? That’s what JBL brought to the brand-new Tottenham Hotspur football stadium in 2019.
WENT ALL OUT WATERPROOF
That’s right. The launch of the JBL Flip 4 meant you could blast your best tunes not just by the pool—but on your pool float. Or in the shower. We don’t judge.
MADE SOUND THAT STAYS BY YOUR SIDE
This was the year we dropped our very first wireless Bluetooth speaker, the JBL Flip. Since then, we’ve kept you rocking from the beach to the streets. And everywhere else.
WON AN OSCAR
That’s right. This was the year we were proud to take home not one, but two top honors for technical achievements in loudspeaker tech. Because no song or story is complete without hearing every laugh, line, and lyric in stunning detail.
STARTED RIDING WITH TOYOTA
This was the year we first teamed up with Toyota to bring drivers the clearest, crispest sound on the road—officially kicking off our long-standing brand partnership. Because what’s a roadtrip without a soundtrack?
DESIGNED THE WALL OF SOUND
Imagine 600 JBL speakers stacked over three stories tall and nearly 100 feet wide. That’s what we made in 1975: the most powerful system of its day to deliver the Grateful Dead’s improvised jams—distortion free—for half a mile.
POWERED WOODSTOCK
Peace. Love. And 400,000 fans braving rain and mud to experience the festival of a lifetime. This year, JBL speaker components powered performance after performance at Woodstock—one of the most legendary events in live music and counterculture.
FOUNDED BY AN AUDIO PRO
It all started in 1946 with James B. Lansing and his love for unfiltered sound. The engineer and designer founded JBL to bring a more immersive sound experience to movie theaters. And then pushed it far beyond the silver screen.
