JBL has rolled out a rich slate of new audio devices, perfect for everyone—from party hosts and outdoor adventurers to budget-conscious music lovers. Highlights include the PartyBox 720, Boombox 4, Grip speaker, and the refreshed Tune headphone lineup.
1. PartyBox 720: The Battery-Powered Party Beast
JBL takes party sound to the next level with the PartyBox 720, its largest battery-powered speaker yet. With a thunderous 800 W of JBL Pro Sound, dual 9-inch woofers, and AI-enhanced sound tuning, it delivers big, clean bass and volume.
And it’s designed for the crowd—offering mic, guitar, and DJ console inputs alongside a dynamic light show that syncs with the music via the JBL PartyBox App. A dual battery system supports up to 15 hours of playback (plus fast-charge top-ups), and built-in wheels make it easy to move the party around.
Pre-orders are now live, with wide in-store availability starting September 21, and pricing sits at approximately $1,099.
2. Boombox 4: Lighter, Louder, Smarter
The Boombox 4 is an evolution of its predecessor, now lighter and louder. It pumps out up to 210 W of powerful audio, uses AI Sound Boost to enhance bass without distortion, and features LED-lit bass logos that pulse with the beat. It packs IP68 rating for rugged use, 34-hour battery life (extendable with Playtime Boost), and a replaceable battery for long-term reliability. USB-C enables lossless audio playback, and Auracast lets you stream to multiple speakers.
Priced around $549.95 (€499.99), it will hit retailers on September 28. Pre-order on Amazon now.
3. Grip: Compact, Rugged, and Stylish
Meet the JBL Grip, a “seltzer can”-sized Bluetooth speaker ideal for active lifestyles. It delivers 16 W of punchy sound with JBL Pro Sound tuning, AI Sound Boost, and ambient lighting controllable via the JBL Portable app. With IP68 durability, a built-in rope loop, Bluetooth Auracast pairing, and up to 14 hours of battery life, it’s designed to go anywhere—from backpacks to beach trips.
Available for $99 (on Amazon) in six fun finishes (black, white, purple, red, blue, camo), pre-orders have begun, and it launches widely on September 28.
4. Tune Headphones Revamped: 780NC, 680NC, 730BT & 530BT
JBL’s popular Tune headphone collection has received a significant upgrade with four new models:
- Tune 780NC (over-ear) and Tune 680NC (on-ear) now feature Adaptive Noise Cancelling (ANC), JBL Spatial Sound, Personi-Fi 3.0, 76-hour battery life (50 h with ANC on), and 5-minute fast charging for 5 hours of playback.
- Tune 730BT and 530BT offer JBL Pure Bass audio, the same 76-hour battery, Bluetooth 6.0 with LE Audio, multipoint pairing, and custom color options (with 530BT also available in lavender) at an affordable price point.
These headphones are expected to hit shelves in October (non-ANC models) and November (ANC models) of 2025.
