1. This was our first full year as the Official Audio Partner of Major League Soccer...

and it has been a great one! We attended our first MLS All Star game AND our second MLS Cup Game. 

At All Star, held in Atlanta, Georgia, we had Atlanta United's Julian Gressel and Leandro Gonzalez Perez stop by for a player signing!

At our second MLS Cup we were able to gift the players with our JBuds Air True Wireless Earbuds.

We also held several activations at our hometown team LA Galaxy pregame events at the Stub Hub Center.

We attended many MLS events this year and can't wait for more in 2019!

2. We're the fastest growing headphone brand.

According to NPD data (May 2018)1, we are still currently the fastest growing headphone brand in the U.S. Yup that's right, we are still climbing to the top. Not only do we still hold that position here in the U.S. but we're continuing to grow in the U.K. as well. If you're in the U.K. you can shop these retailers and websites for JLab products: Argos, John Lewis, Tesco, ASDA, AO.com, Selfridges and Tekzone, Dixon's Travel

3. Launched two new true wireless earbuds, a new sport headphone, and trend setting $20 headphone.
4. We won more awards!

We won Best Places to Work in San Diego AGAIN, for the fifth time in a row! While our success has grown, so have our employees with everyone putting in hard work everyday, we still know how to have fun!

Check out our JLab Employee Top Picks page to see which headphones we'd choose. 

We won a CES Innovation Award for our Epic Air Elite True Wireless Earbuds! We'll be attending CES again in January and are ready to talk all things true wireless.

5. We attended IFA Berlin for the second year in a row!

This was our second time attending IFA and we came in making a large statement with a DeLorean from Back to the Future to really highlight our Rewind Headphones. We also talked about our Epic Air Elite and Flex Sport Headphones.
