SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 17, 2025 – Travel headphones are one of those small decisions that can change an entire trip—especially when you’re juggling noisy cabins, long train rides, and the simple desire to disappear into a movie or playlist for a while. JBL is leaning into that reality with a style-focused refresh: the JBL Tour PRO 3 is now available in a deep midnight-blue edition with copper-colored accents, keeping the same premium feature set while adding a more elegant look.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 17, 2025 – If your headphones are the one accessory you use every single day—on commutes, at your desk, in the gym bag, and late-night scrolling—JBL wants its refreshed Tune lineup to feel like a noticeable step up without turning into a luxury splurge. Presented in Garching, the new generation brings clearer model choices for different listening habits: two options focused on Adaptive Noise Cancelling (ANC) plus JBL Spatial Sound, and two more built around JBL Pure Bass for straightforward, budget-friendly everyday use.

Four Models, Two Clear Listening “Types”
JBL splits the new Tune family into two groups, which makes shopping (and gifting) a lot easier.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 17, 2025 – JBL is turning up the energy again with the JBL Boombox 4, a new take on its iconic portable speaker built to shake rooms, fuel parties, and keep people together through big, confident sound. Introduced in Garching, the Boombox 4 leans into what fans already love—bold bass and go-anywhere vibes—while adding smarter audio tech, more battery power, and tougher outdoor protection for real-life use.

A Familiar Idea, Dialed Up for 2025
JBL describes the Boombox 4 as “back” and “more powerful than ever,” aiming for a speaker that fits everything from living-room hangouts to outdoor adventures. The core promise is simple: legendary JBL Pro Sound with clear highs, deep lows, and strong dynamics—whether you’re playing mellow background playlists or trying to get a whole group moving.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 17, 2025 – If your idea of a great party is equal parts music, mood, and movement, JBL’s new PartyBox 720 is built to deliver the whole experience—not just background noise. Announced in Garching, the speaker combines powerful JBL Pro Sound, an animated lightshow, and a more mobile design meant for switching easily between living room, backyard, and wherever your friends decide “the real party” should happen next.

Big, Room-Filling Audio With AI-Sound-Boost
At the heart of the PartyBox 720 is 800 watts of JBL Pro Sound supported by two 9-inch woofers for bass and two 30 mm dome tweeters for crisp highs. The goal is simple: keep the sound punchy and clear even when you turn the volume up and the crowd gets loud.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – A softer quarter on paper, stronger growth abroad in practice: Hello Group Inc., the company behind social apps like Momo and Tantan, has reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2025 – and the story behind the numbers says a lot about how online dating and social networking in Asia are evolving.

Slight Revenue Dip, Big Shift in Where the Money Comes From

Net revenues in Q3 2025 slipped just 0.9% year over year to RMB2,650.1 million (US$372.3 million), but that headline doesn’t tell the whole story. Inside the mix, overseas revenues jumped an impressive 69.0% to RMB534.8 million (US$75.1 million), showing how much Hello Group is leaning into global markets beyond mainland China.
