JBL has launched a new home asthetics speaker in China with a big 18.5-inch display. Called JBL Vienna, the speaker puts song lyrics on the display instead of your phone screen.
The Vienna has an 18.5-inch screen covered by an ultra-white, high-transparency tempered glass panel. As a song plays, the lyrics appear on this screen with moving light and shadow effects, so they look like they are floating in the air rather than sitting on a flat surface.
Users get nine background themes to pair with the lyrics display, ranging from calm to bold. They can also upload their own photos and use them as a backdrop, turning a favorite vacation shot or a candid moment with friends into the setting for their music.
JBL Vienna has stereo speakers with 100W peak power
On the audio side, the Vienna runs a 2.1-channel stereo system. It packs two 3.23-inch full-range drivers, four 8.5-inch racetrack-shaped bass drivers, and two 5-inch passive radiators, together pushing out 100W of peak power. JBL says the setup handles deep bass, clear vocals, and bright treble, and can reproduce the layered feel of jazz and classical tracks.
The speaker also works outside of music playback. It includes eleven built-in meditation scenes that pair ambient sounds like rain and ocean waves with slow-moving visuals, plus a photo album mode that turns uploaded pictures into a looping slideshow.
For connections, the Vienna supports Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C, and AUX, and it mirrors screens wirelessly from both iOS and Android devices. It also doubles as a clock, with dual-timezone standby displays and a customizable photo clock face.
The Vienna adds a visual layer to JBL’s existing speaker lineup, following recent launches like the JBL Grip and the JBL Flip Essential 3 SE, both of which focus on portability and durability rather than display features. Meanwhile, the Vienna is a home decor piece that blends sound, light, and personal photos into one product. JBL has not yet confirmed pricing or availability details for markets outside its initial launch.
