"JBL Pulse will change the way you enjoy music," said Michael Mauser, President of HARMAN Lifestyle. "You'll be amazed how much more immersive the listening experience can be, with a lightshow perfectly synched in brightness and color with the music."

JBL Pulse gives you music to be seen and heard combining room-filling JBL sound with an eye-catching, programmable LED light show in one portable speaker. Take your music with you wherever you go, and liven up any get-together with a Multi-LED light show. JBL Pulse is a wireless sound and vision treat for the eyes and ears that gives you new ways to enjoy your favorite tunes. JBL Pulse streams your music from any portable device via Bluetooth. Enhance the music with your choice of programmed or customizable light themes. JBL Pulse's sound is a stereo punch, clear and powerful, and portable enough to turn anyplace into a party space.

Variety is the spice of life – and JBL Pulse delivers the spice while making sure that you're always in control. From five pre-programmed light themes to many more downloadable options, you can choose to match your music or exercise your own creative touch by customizing the patterns of brightness and color. And you can change it with a single touch. Either way, the entertainment, both visual and audible, is always on your terms.

And, since it's not truly portable if you have to plug it in, JBL Pulse can go anywhere and deliver wireless fun for up to 10 hours of music or 5 hours of music and light show, thanks to its rechargeable lithium-ion battery. One less thing to worry about means the party starts now.
