Looks from back then, sound from now

Classic 1950s curves and an old-school volume knob on the outside. Powerful 3” full-range driver and 0.8” tweeter on the inside. You’ll enjoy rich, warm sound and vocals that sing, while twin passive radiators and our Bass+ technology keep the bass deep and tight at any volume.

Bluetooth® 6.0

Bluetooth® multipoint connectivity and USB audio

Bluetooth® 6.0 lets you stream without annoying dips in the sound, and you can connect The Janet XL to two devices at once. You can also plug an external device into her USB-C port and listen to music that way.

FM digital tuner and room for 30 go-to station presets

Don’t let the classic look fool you, The Janet XL knows her way around the dial. With a precise FM digital tuner, a telescopic antenna for strong reception, and space for up to 30 presets, she keeps your go-to stations perfectly lined up.

Auracast™ for multi-speaker setups

If you’re hosting a party or you just want even bigger sound, you can use Auracast™ to broadcast music from The Janet XL to as many compatible speakers as you like. Setup is simple via the PartyLink mode in our companion app.

Retro charm, IPX5 water-resistant design

Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, dining table. With an IPX-5 water-resistant design, The Janet XL isn’t fussy about where you place her. Steam from the shower, splashes in the kitchen, spills on the table: she’ll keep on playing.

Kitchen timer and sleep timer

There’s a handy kitchen timer to keep your cooking on point, and if you like falling asleep to the sound of the radio, you can use the sleep timer to control how long the radio plays for as you drift off.
