Buy Authentic – Buy safe
JBL QUALITY
For over 70 years, JBL® has delivered products that exemplify the technology and expertise gained through a leadership position in professional sound reproduction. The JBL name has come to be synonymous with the precise, naturally articulated sound found in many of the world’s most prestigious locations, such as clubs, movie theatres, and recording studios, as well as live-music reinforcement settings ranging from concert halls to outdoor stadiums.
Due to increasing popularity, many great brands are vulnerable to counterfeiting. These individuals and organizations take advantage of both the consumer and the brand they attempt to counterfeit with total disregard for the customer experience.
Counterfeit products are not authentic and thus do not meet high quality and safety standards established by JBL. These products are subpar and typically fail shortly after the first use due to poor components, exposing consumers to potential safety hazards even when not in use.
BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
Products purchased from unauthorized online or offline merchants are likely to be counterfeit. Shop with confidence at one of JBL’s authorized dealers to ensure you are purchasing a genuine JBL product.
