In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this JBL phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.
What are the hours and when should I call?
JBL operates the call center for this 800-336-4525 phone number Mon-Fri 9am-11pm, Sat-Sun 9am-5pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 236 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the JBL call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this JBL phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like JBL staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call JBL is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 150% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 236 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

In summation, the best day to call JBL is Thursday.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.
Calling JBL's customer service hotline is a detailed experience, as their customer service team appears to take great lengths to make sure that they're providing assistance to their customers. When I dialed, I was told that support was available online but that I could stay on the line and use the automated menu for questions that involved technical support or other inquiries.
I opted for other inquiries, and after a brief delay in which I was told twice that I could go online if I didn't want to wait, I was connected to a representative. I explained that I had received a Charge 5 speaker as a gift and wanted to check if it was an authentic product or not, as I had heard that knockoff products are common with the JBL brand.
The representative asked me to repeat myself to make sure he understood correctly and then directed me to look under the flap to see if I could find the serial number for the product. He told me it should start with two symbols (I believe he said digits, but static made that hard to hear), and I told him I did not see a serial number underneath the flap.
He then asked me to look under the flap for a sticker, which should include the compliance symbols as well as a serial number that I could read off to him. I told him that none was available, and he asked if I still had the box for the product, at which point I told him that it was a gift and had not come with the original packaging.
He decided to see if he could check another way by having me open the flap again and checking to see if I heard any kind of chime when I pulled it open. Upon confirming that I was hearing nothing, he asked me to again check under the flap and hit a button on the device.
Overall, I felt the rep did a good job of leaving no stone unturned in trying to determine if the product was, in fact, an authentic JBL product or if it was a knockoff. To me, this demonstrates a high commitment to both the brand's quality and to making sure that customers have all the information they need to make an informed decision.
I do think the search for information was a bit excessive after trying four different options and finding all of them unsuccessful, but I do appreciate how that would be very helpful in case of a malfunction with an actual product. I think the customer service team's assistance would be very useful if I needed actual help with a JBL product.
