If there is one brand that knows how to make an entrance, it’s JBL. Celebrating a staggering 80 years of shaking up the audio industry, the legendary sound masters are turning the volume all the way up this April. From 15 to 19 April 2026, the Funan Level 1 Atrium (including those famous iconic steps), will be transformed into a neon-soaked, bass-thumping playground: the ‘JBL: Live Your Sound’ Pop-Up Experience.
This isn’t just a display of gadgets; it’s a full-throttle immersion into the #MadetobeHeard spirit. Whether you’re a bedroom producer, a hardcore gamer, or someone who just wants their morning commute to feel like a cinematic masterpiece, this pop-up is designed to help you find, and amplify, your unique vibe.
The Singapore Debut You Can’t Miss
The headline act of the week is the exclusive Singapore debut of the upgraded JBL Live Series (Live 680NC & 780NC). If you’ve been hunting for that perfect balance of high-end noise cancelling and sleek aesthetics, you’ll be among the first in the country to get your hands on them.
You’ll also find the JBL Open-Ear Series, featuring the Sense Lite and Soundgear Clips, which have been making waves for those who want their playlists loud but their ears open to the world.
Five Zones, Infinite Vibes
JBL has curated five distinct lifestyle zones to ensure there’s a corner for every kind of listener:
- Zone 1: Beats Unleashed – Step into a professional studio environment and jam with the JBL BandBox Series. Whether you’re going solo or bringing the band, these AI-powered amps are a game-changer for creators.
- Zone 2: Sound Is Survival – Gamers, this is your colosseum. Test your reflexes in a tactical shooter using the JBL Quantum Series. There’s a live leaderboard and a chance to win a Quantum 650 headset every single day.
- Zone 3: Hustle Loud – Work-from-anywhere just got an upgrade. Set up at the Sinpopo Café takeover to test the noise-cancelling prowess of the JBL Live Series in a real-world co-working buzz.
- Zone 4: Adventure Unmuted – For the explorers, this camping-inspired setup features the rugged PartyBox and Portable Speaker ranges. Take a quiz to find your “audio soulmate” and see how these units handle the great outdoors.
- Zone 5: Style Amplified – Head to the styling bar for a bit of “audio-aesthetic” analysis. Find which colours and fits from the Open-Ear Series complement your skin tone and personal style.
Score Big: Gifts and Customisation
JBL is known for giving back to the fans, and this pop-up is no exception. Grab an event activity card at the redemption booth; collect stamps from three of the five zones, and you could unlock exclusive merchandise worth up to S$288 or a 20% discount for the JBL Online Store.
If you’re looking to buy, keep your receipts! Purchases made at the pop-up or participating Funan retailers (like Best Denki, Courts, and Challenger) come with serious perks. We’re talking S$30 Steam gift cards for gamers, Sinpopo Cake Sets for the “hustlers,” and a trip to the D.I.Y Echo Charms Bar to customise your new portable speakers with limited-edition charms and straps.
Live Music & Weekend Vibes
To truly bottle the energy of 80 years of sound, the atrium will host live sets by local indie musicians on Saturday and Sunday (18–19 April). It’s the perfect backdrop to explore the tech, grab a selfie on the JBL steps, and soak in the atmosphere.
Whether you’re there for the tech, the tunes, or the “glamping” vibes, the ‘JBL: Live Your Sound’ experience is a loud, unapologetic celebration of how we hear the world.
Mark your calendars:
