Overview

JBL has announced several new audio product lines. In late September 2026, the company introduced the Cinema SB MK2 soundbar series, which features SurroundPlay technology allowing wireless connection to compatible portable speakers for rear surround channels. The series includes four models ranging from the 200W SB510MK2 to the 440W flagship SB595MK2, which supports True Dolby Atmos. JBL also introduced the Cove multiroom speaker series.

In early October 2026, JBL unveiled the PartyBox Ultimate 2, a flagship speaker designed for large events. This model delivers 1,500 W of power, representing a 36% increase in output compared to its predecessor, and utilizes AI Sound Boost technology to optimize sound and minimize distortion in real time. The device features an upgraded acoustic architecture with dual professional-grade PEN tweeters, two 5-inch mid-range drivers, and two 10-inch woofers. It also includes an integrated touchscreen, a revamped lightshow with ripple-wave effects and floor projections, and EasySing AI Vocal Removal for karaoke. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast, AirPlay, and Chromecast. Additionally, JBL introduced the Flip 7 Magnet, a magnetic mounting accessory for the Flip 7, and the BassPro Go2, a two-in-one portable speaker and subwoofer.
