The conceptual JBL Jr Pop has been designed as a mobile speaker for children that will enable them to listen to their choice of music wherever they go. Outfitted with Bluetooth, the speaker can stream music from any source and also features a light ring around the main speaker unit. This will create a light show that will captivate the attention of children as they listen, which will also keep them interested in the device for longer instead of getting bored after a short period.
The conceptual JBL Jr Pop portable speaker is the design work of Kim Hyojin and is loosely based on the aesthetic of the JBL Clip speaker. The speaker is also the winner of the Red For Design Concept Award and the iF Design Award for 2019.
