The home speaker shows animated lyrics, doubles as a digital photo frame and offers 11 meditation scenes alongside Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C and AUX.
JBL Vienna is a home audio system built around a large 18.5-inch display. Its standout feature is animated song lyrics that appear to float in the air. The screen is protected by ultra-clear tempered glass. Users can choose from nine background themes, upload their own photos and run a slideshow in digital photo-frame mode. The system can also show the time in two time zones.
Audio comes from a 2.1-channel setup with two 3.23-inch full-range drivers, four 8.5-inch oval bass drivers and two 5-inch passive radiators. Peak output reaches 100W, with JBL promising deep bass, clear vocals and detailed highs.
Vienna also includes 11 built-in meditation scenes that pair rain, ocean and other ambient sounds with slow visual animations. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C and AUX, plus wireless screen mirroring from iOS and Android devices.
JBL has not yet announced the official price or release date. Vienna is a clear departure from the brand’s usual portable speakers and is positioned more as a home-interior device that combines audio, a display and a digital photo frame.
