History

JLab was founded by Josh ‘Eros’ Rosenfield in 2005 in Tucson, Arizona, where they operated until 2012 when they relocated to Oceanside, California.[3] This occurred after the company was purchased that January by a Dallas, Texas-based private equity group and leadership transitioned to current CEO, Win Cramer.

Since then, JLab has moved away from its value roots and begun re-branding itself as an affordable premium audio retailer with an "athleisure-focused" brand image. After growing more than 250 percent from 2015 to 2017, JLab moved into a new facility in Carlsbad, California to support its growth.[4] JLab became the official audio partner of Major League Soccer in 2017.[5]

JLab has made the INC 5000 list five times between 2010 and 2020.[6]
