Impressive Performance and Design

I recently started using the JBL Authentics 500, and I’m very satisfied. The sound quality is powerful and clear, with great bass. It looks stylish and feels premium. Setup was easy, and it connects well with my devices. Overall, a great speaker that I’m happy with!

Looks and sounds amazing

The sound quality on this speaker is fantastic. Rich, full, and well balanced across bass, mids and treble. A clear step above JBL's portable range. The retro design with the Quadrex grille looks great too. It's the kind of speaker you actually want on display rather than hidden away. The built-in Google Assistant and Alexa work well, and having WiFi streaming alongside Bluetooth and AirPlay means it plays nicely with everything. Two minor gripes. First, it's marketed as portable but it's bulkier and heavier than you'd expect. The battery and handle are handy for moving it room to room, but you wouldn't want to lug it much further than that. Second, the figure-8 power cable feels dated when everything else has moved to USB-C. Neither are dealbreakers, but worth knowing. Overall, really happy with this purchase.

Who needs built-in home speakers!

Building a new home and not needing to put built-in speakers in! Using 1 JBL Authentics 300 and (3) JBL Authentics 200s for amazing sound throughout the house. The 200 syncs perfectly every time and has amazing sound. The bass is excellent! Tried many other competitors speakers, including many Marshall’s and they don’t compare. Plus the Authentics have a classic look. Super happy with my purchase!
