JBL is turning up the volume—and the lights—with its latest lineup, headlined by the Pulse 6 and joined by new PartyBox speakers built for bigger gatherings.

The JBL Pulse 6 combines JBL Legendary Sound with AI Sound Boost technology and a customizable 360-degree lightshow that moves with the beat. The latest version adds an illuminated handle and new lighting effects, along with party and ambient lighting modes for different occasions. Sunset Mode gradually dims the lights for winding down, while Bedside Lamp provides a soft glow with a double tap.

With up to 12 hours of playtime and IP68 waterproof and dustproof protection, the Pulse 6 is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The JBL One app lets users customize sound and lighting, while Auracast connectivity allows compatible JBL speakers to link together and synchronize lighting with select PartyBox speakers and JBL PartyLight products.

For bigger gatherings, the PartyBox 330 features deeper bass, clearer highs, and a redesigned music-synced lightshow, with up to 18 hours of playtime. It also features karaoke-ready inputs and compatibility with JBL EasySing Mics.

At the top of the party lineup is the PartyBox Ultimate 2, JBL’s most powerful and advanced PartyBox yet. It delivers 1500W of JBL Legendary Sound, more than 36% higher than its predecessor, through upgraded tweeters, mid-range drivers, and woofers. It also features a full-panel lightshow, touchscreen controls, EasySing AI Vocal Removal for karaoke, and interactive party games.

For the home, JBL introduces the Cove M1, Cove P1, and Cove X1, its new whole-home Wi-Fi audio system. Each can work individually, as a stereo pair, or as part of a multi-room setup through the JBL One app. The Cove P1 offers up to 14 hours of playtime, while the P1 and X1 support Dolby Atmos. Music Follows Me lets users move playback between rooms, while compatibility with JBL Bar Series MK2 soundbars extends the setup to home entertainment.

JBL Cinema SB550MK2

Rounding out the lineup are the Cinema SB510MK2 and SB550MK2 soundbars. Both feature dedicated center channels and Dolby Audio. The SB510MK2 delivers 200W with a built-in subwoofer, while the SB550MK2 steps up to 360W with a separate wireless subwoofer. Through SurroundPlay, users can also wirelessly connect compatible JBL Flip 7 speakers as rear surround channels.
