JBL L75ms all-in-one wireless speaker takes aim at Naim Mu-so

The premium wireless speaker market battle is heating up. Naim Audio, Linn, Devialet and Bowers & Wilkins all have decent form over the last few years but the JBL L75ms looks set to shake things up backed by the big boots of JBL.

Priced at $1500 / £1500, the Naim Mu-so stands out as the main rival in terms of price, form factor and streaming/input capability. The JBL 75ms neatly straddles the wireless speaker/soundbar market at the same time, something that worked well for the Naim Mu-so which added a HDMI input in the most recent model.

Chromecast, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth are joined by an eArc HDMI input, moving magnet phono stage and 3.5 input.

Specs are listed below and we’re expecting a Q4 launch date.
