## History

JLab earbuds

JLab was founded by Joshua Rosenfield in 2005 in [Tucson, Arizona](/source/Tucson%2C_Arizona), where they operated until 2012 when they relocated to [Oceanside, California](/source/Oceanside%2C_California).[3] This occurred after the company was purchased in January by a [Dallas](/source/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](/source/Ernst_%26_Young_Entrepreneur_of_the_Year_Award) 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](/source/Carlsbad%2C_California), to support its growth.[4] JLab became the official audio partner of [Major League Soccer](/source/Major_League_Soccer) in 2017.[5]

In 2021, JLab was purchased by [Noritsu](/source/Noritsu).[6]

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