JLab was founded by Joshua 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 in January by a Dallas-based private equity group and leadership transitioned to current CEO, Winthrop Cramer. Winthrop lead the company to a top-five headphone brand in the US market and initiated a global sales plan to further accelerate growth. Winthrop was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019, a top 40 under 40 in CE by Dealerscope.

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]

In 2021, JLab was purchased by Noritsu. [6]

In September 2025, a four-year sponsorship agreement with college football's Birmingham Bowl was announced. [7]
