In an exclusive event held at the Presidential Suite of the Manila Hotel, HARMAN International launched its newest consumer audio products for both home and on-the-go use under the JBL brand.
Say hello to the new LINK Lineup of Speakers, the first to combine JBL’s signature sound with Google Assistant, available in four models – LINK 10, LINK 20, LINK 300, and LINK 500. All designed to give consumers rich, full-range sound, and the ability to listen to their favorite music through voice control.
Not only that, you can also ask questions and by connecting the speakers to your smart appliances via the Google Home app, perform tasks such as turning on appliances and dimming the lights. Set alarms, create reminders, send a message or even make a call. LINK speakers also come with Chromecast built-in for high-definition music streaming and endless entertainment from popular apps.
The LINK 10 and LINK 20 are designed for on-the-go entertainment with 5 and 10 hoof playback respectively. Both boast IPX7 waterproof rating for added peace of mind. The LINK 300 and LINK 500 on the other hand, are designed for home use, and can be connected to your Wifi network for a multiple speaker setup and a multi-room listening experience.
Then there’s the new EVEREST lineup of headphones – The Everest Elite 110 GA, Everest 310 GA, and Everest 710 GA. All also come with Google Assistant built-in, which allows for easy and convenient control for the connected device’s notifications, phone calls, text messages, among other features. It can be activated via the touch-sensitive earcup and earbud. Battery life for three are rated at 8 hours, 10 hours, and 25 hours respectively.
