JBL is at CES 2022 in Las Vegas unveiling a full range of new products, including wireless earbuds and Bluetooth speakers.
Here is a brief overview of what the Samsung-owned Harman subsidiary has previewed so far at the annual tradeshow.Â
JBL Boombox 3
- Price: $500
- Release date: Summer 2022
This third-generation Boombox speaker provides "deeper bass, intense clarity, and more powerful sound" than the previous speakers, due to its new three-way speaker system that consists of a subwoofer, two mid-range drivers, and two tweeters.

JBL Pulse 5
- Price: $250
- Release date: Summer 2022
JBL said the Pulse 5 is "engineered with a larger passive radiator and acoustic volume for deeper bass, as well as a woofer focused on delivering mid-low frequency sound and an added tweeter for authentic and purer sound". It has a 12-hour battery life, brighter LED lighting system that syncs with your music, support for Bluetooth 5.3, and IP67 waterproofing and dustproofing, and it can pair with another Pulse 5 for stereo sound.
JBL PartyBox Encore
- Price: $400
