JBL LAUNCHES COVE MULTI-ROOM SPEAKERS TO RIVAL SONOS

The Cove lineup consists of three models that function as standalone speakers, stereo pairs, or networked multi-room systems. Users can link units throughout their home to create a distributed audio setup. JBL has built its reputation primarily on portable Bluetooth and party speakers. The Cove series marks a significant push into the premium connected audio market, where Sonos has dominated for years. The three speaker options provide flexibility across different room sizes and use cases. Each model can operate independently or integrate with others in the network. This move positions JBL as a direct challenger to established players in the multi-room audio space. The competitive landscape for whole-home sound systems continues to expand as major audio manufacturers vie for consumer adoption.
