Ready to Rock! JBL® Introduces Its First Kid-Friendly Portable Speaker

ALE

JBL JR POP is a pocket-sized, colorful Bluetooth speaker designed
specifically for kids


LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Making a colorful debut to the JBL JR line, the JBL JR POP is the
brand’s first ultra-portable, kid-friendly Bluetooth speaker. With its
eye-catching design, kids can listen to beats on the playground and
adults will love the “kid-proof” durability. The JBL JR POP will be a
popular addition to any music-loving family.

Listen up parents, here’s why the new JBL JR POP will be an instant
favorite. With five hours of playtime and JBL’s epic sound quality, the
JBL JR POP will have kids rocking out to their favorite
“parent-approved” playlists from the school bus all the way through
afterschool activities. And don’t worry about taking it to the pool or
beach, the JR POP is both durable and IPX7 waterproof-rated, so it can
withstand even the biggest water fight.

“Kids are inspired by music just as much as adults, which is why we
wanted to create a portable speaker just for them,” said Michael Mauser,
President Lifestyle Audio Division at HARMAN. “The JBL JR POP gives
parents’ peace of mind as it is durable and waterproof.”

Kids will love that this speaker was designed just for them – small
enough to fit in their hands. They’ll even have the option to snap the
speaker to their backpack using the JR POP’s strap. The JR POP comes in
a variety of vibrant, two-tone color combinations with the option to
tailor the design with its included fun sticker sets. And, if there was
ever a need to match those light-up sneakers that are all the rage, the
JR POP has a multi-color lighting mode that illuminates when it is
playing, making any kid express their style and shine.
