JBL takes on Sonos with new multi-room Cove speakers

JBL has announced the 'Cove' series, a new line of multi-room connected speakers designed to compete with Sonos and Bose. The series includes three models with features like Dolby Atmos support, AI sound tuning, and multi-room audio management via a mobile app.
Why it matters

JBL is well known for its portable bluetooth and party speakers, but now it’s also stepping into the world of connected whole-home audio. The JBL Cove series of speakers introduced today can work independently, as a stereo pair, or linked together to form a multi-room sound system, placing the range in competition with Sonos and Bose’s new Lifestyle Ultra speakers.
