JLab Audio is an American consumer audio brand founded in 2005.[1] The brand's products have won awards from tech and audio publications. [2] Most recently the company was recognized for its Epic Bluetooth Headphones at 2015 International CES.[2] The company began by making low-budget in-ear headphones, but has since expanded to include premium in-ear and over-ear headphones, as well as wireless headphones and Bluetooth speakers.[3]

History

JLab was founded in 2005 in Tucson, Arizona, where they operated until 2012 when they relocated to Oceanside, California.[4] This occurred after the company was purchased in January by a Dallas, TX based private equity group. Since then, JLab has moved away from its budget-line roots and begun re-branding itself as an affordable premium audio retailer with an athleisure-focused brand image. In 2015, JLab's new Epic Bluetooth Earbuds won a TWICE Picks Award at International CES Show in Las Vegas.[2] The same Epic Bluetooth Headphones were featured in Livestrong.com as The Best Gear and Accessories for runners.,[5] PCMag called the Epic, "Powerful, distortion-free audio performance with deep bass presence. Secure fit. Splash-proof design. Lots of useful accessories."[6]
