JBL just tapped Benson Boone as its newest global brand ambassador. The breakout singer/songwriter pairing with the music and gaming tech brand is pretty much the perfect match, given both are committed to all things sound, culture and connection.
To make the partnership official, Boone went out to surprise fans outside of JBL’s SoHo store before taking the stage at the 2025 Governors Ball. The “Beautiful Things” singer pulled up in a vintage convertible car blasting tracks from his album American Heart before handing out custom JBL Flip 7s from the trunk.
This exciting partnership will feature exclusive content drops, behind-the-scenes moments and live activations designed to bring fans closer to Boone and his music through JBL. In honor of Boone and JBL’s partnership, we’re rounding up a few of our favorite music and gaming tech from JBL, sharing the best of the best for fans of Boone and beyond.
JBL Go 4 Speaker
A portable mini speaker in green and gray with powerful base.
Don’t you wish you could take your music with you everywhere? Well, now you can. Retailing for $39.95, JBL’s Go 4 Speaker is a tiny but mighty speaker situated in a compact rectangular shape in shades of gray and green. The speaker is portable and packs a major punch with base you can feel. This little guy boasts up to seven hours of playtime on a single charge.
It also comes with Playtime Boost which allows for up to two extra hours of jamming by prolonging the battery life. Not only does the speaker change color, but it’s also waterproof so you can take it to the beach or pool without fear of having it fizzle out. If the available colors don’t tickle your fancy, you can also make a custom Go 4 with a base design of your choosing.
JBL Quantum Stream Studio Mic
A gaming and podcasting speaker.
If you’re planning to stream video games or starting a podcast (as if we need any more) then this mic is for you. Retailing for a marked-down price of $99.95, this studio mic is a steal. The crisp sound is all thanks to three lightweight, fast-moving, and sensitive (-37dB) 14mm cardioid condenser mics, all with a wide and flat frequency range (50~16kHz).
You’ll get studio-quality sound every time. With a click of a single button, you can quickly change between four voice-pickup patterns, cardioid, bi-directional, stereo and omnidirectional which are all utilized for different set-ups and scenarios. There’s also a tap-to-mute button that you can quickly touch if you feel an awkward sneeze coming on mid-stream. This mic truly has it all.
JBL Spinner BT
A black and orange record player.
Play records like a pro with JBL’s Spinner BT, a sleek, retro-inspired record player that comes in two colorways, black and orange and black and gold. The Spinner BT is Bluetooth compatible and features a high-quality aluminum tonearm that ensures excellent tracking of the record groove without damaging your precious vinyl. Plus the design is gorgeous. We like the black and orange model for the beautiful contrast in hues. This makes for a great gift for that hipster music nerd in your life.
JBL Junior 470NC
Over-the-ear headphones with gray, white and orange accents.
JBL’s Junior 470NC is an exceptional piece of music tech for kids. Easy to use and safe to boot, these over-the-ear headphones feature a controlled safe volume designed to never exceed 85dB so kids can listen to “Baby Shark” with the highest sound quality without damaging their precious eardrums. Parents can also customize hearing protection settings by limiting both maximum volume and daily listening time. These headphones can also be synced to the JBL Headphones app so you can monitor your child’s listening, and at what volume.
JBL PartyBox Stage 320
A rolling light-up speaker with a handle.
This portable speaker is bold and bigger than ever, providing music lovers with impeccable sound quality they can bring on the go. Retailing for a marked-down price of $549.95, the PartyBox Stage 320 brings the party anywhere thanks to the wheel attachments and telescope handle that functions similarly to a suitcase. The speaker includes a built-in light show with effects like starry lights, cool light trails and a strobe that all flash to the beat of the song playing. The speakers are also equipped with two 6.5″ woofers that deliver clean and precise deep bass no matter the volume.
