JBL and Harman Kardon are part of the HARMAN Group and are the world's largest manufacturers of professional loudspeakers. It pioneered the application of expertise in cinema and studio sound systems to the home audio sector. Back in 1936, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented JBL with the Technical Excellence Award. Today, JBL sound systems can be found in professional recording studios, famous concert halls, high-end cinemas and prestigious stadiums around the world.
JBL currently focuses on portable Bluetooth speakers, and there are not many products in terms of computer speakers, and they are not outstanding. Its computer audio is mainly based on small speakers, the appearance and texture are not outstanding, and the price is below 400 yuan.
The most famous of these is the Pebbles, also known as the Little Snail, which won the 2013 Red Dot Design Award for its unique appearance, resembling a snail shell. Pebbles cleverly conceals the adjustment buttons in the concentric circles of the case, which is both beautiful and convenient. In addition to aesthetics, the portable storage is also a major feature of Pebbles, with a line storage groove at the bottom that can be hidden by the built-in USB cable. In addition, this USB cable can not only be used for power supply, but also for audio signal transmission, and one cable can be played, which is very convenient. However, Pebbles' sound quality is not very good, and it can only cope with general audio-visual entertainment.
