JBL has unveiled its latest home audio lineup with the introduction of the Cove speaker collection, featuring three WiFi-enabled models designed to blend seamlessly into any living space. The new line consists of the M1, P1, and X1 speakers, each offering distinct features while maintaining a focus on aesthetic appeal and user accessibility. These devices can function independently or work together through the JBL One app to establish a comprehensive multi-room audio system without requiring a substantial investment.
All three Cove speakers prioritize user convenience with a streamlined setup process completed in just three to five minutes, making them ideal for first-time home audio buyers and those upgrading existing systems. Each model incorporates JBL’s AI audio boost technology, which analyzes room characteristics and automatically adjusts sound output to deliver optimal audio quality while protecting the speaker from damage. The Music Follows Me feature allows users to transition their music between rooms by pressing the Moment button, eliminating the need to manage playback through a smartphone or application. Additionally, Auracast connectivity enables smooth integration across multiple units, with the JBL One app providing granular control over audio levels and system configuration. The entire collection is available in black or white finishes.
The M1 model serves as the entry point at $229.95, featuring three soft dome tweeters and capable of delivering room-filling sound. The mid-tier P1 speaker, priced at $399.95, offers portability with a carrying handle and extended 14-hour battery life, along with IP56 dust and splash resistance for outdoor use. The premium X1 model rounds out the collection at $449.95, utilizing Dolby Atmos technology and six drivers to produce three-dimensional audio. Preorders commence September 1, with official availability beginning September 13.
