JBL's Marketing Blunder..

This is such a bizarre JBL promo video portraying young women as ditzy airheads...certainly not the way to reach younger blood and expand the customer base.

JBL GOES MODERN!

Here's a retort from the Audioholics channel

JBL Ad portrays Gen Z women as Idiots?!

I suppose JBL will try and do just fine by selling the same things over and over to a shrinking aged male customer base. Good luck JBL!

LOL, the real blunder was long ago, when the company changed hands they released design genius Greg Timbers. https://www.audioheritage.org/html/people/timbers.htm I agree! Greg designed one of my favorite JBL’s see here 🤩

At the least, Greg is one guy who'll laugh hysterically at the recent audiobool trend of "huge cable, huge dac, huge everything except for the tiny lousy lil crappy lil speaker".

Or, Mr. Timbers may be very sad about it (hardly indifferent), but either way it would point to a significant issue.
