About this item

  • Superb sound and performance with Dolby Atmos Music: 270 watts of 3.1 channel sound, with virtual Dolby Atmos create a lifelike musical experience that makes you feel like you're hearing your music live—right from the front row. Three 2.5mm tweeters and three 2.75" midrange woofers provide so much clarity that every detail of your favorite song sounds brand new, while a 6.5" down firing subwoofer and the patented SlipStream bass port extend the low end to a new level of bass that you can feel. Dolby Atmos Music content is available from compatible streaming services in the JBL One app.
  • Inspired by retro design: The JBL Authentics 500 delivers the iconic style inspired by classic JBL heritage designs, for a look that complements any room, easily filling even the largest space with superior JBL sound. And the speaker's premium aluminum frame, custom leather-like enclosure, and reimagined Quadrex grille really show the attention we paid to each visual detail, right down to the special JBL signature pattern surrounding the downfiring woofer.
  • Music streaming services via built-in Wi-Fi: Experience everything from podcasts to internet radio in stunning high definition. Or stream music through AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), Chromecast built-in, and Spotify Connect and leave the room or take a call without the music being interrupted. The Wi-Fi connection ensures your speaker gets automatic software and feature updates.
  • Voice assistants*, simultaneously on one device: Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are available simultaneously*. This gives customers the most freedom and convenience to control more smart home devices, play from more music streaming services, and get the most hands-free help from either voice assistant at any given time.
  • Seamless Bluetooth pairing: Seamlessly share playlists by pairing the JBL Authentics 500 with any Bluetooth devices.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bon mais pourrait être mieux.
Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2024
Model name: JBL Authentics 500Verified Purchase
Il pourrait avoir plus de profondeur en extrême basse fréquence et plus de richesse dû à son prix élevé mais quand même satisfaits dans l'ensemble du produit.
*faut pas oublié que dans les faits, ce n'est qu'un transmetteur de son bluetooth à 1000$ donc jbl peux investir plus dans le développement du son pour donner plus de qualité.
Point négatif: l'option micro qui est pour moi dans importance et en plus il y a une lumière rouge allumé lorsqu'il est fermé que je trouve désagréable car je le laisse éteint en tout temps.

JBL hit it out of the park with this one! Great soundstage, full vocals, smooth roll off and room filling bass. It truly is a wonder of technology and I am beyond satisfied with the quality! This offers MASSIVE sound for your living room in a compact size. The design aesthetics are beautiful and build quality is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound but a bit finicky
Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 2024
Model name: JBL Authentics 500Verified Purchase
this speaker has amazing sound, especially when it’s receiving music directly via wifi. But if you want to play music from a streaming service that’s not supported by this speaker’s app, then you’ll have to send the music there via Bluetooth from another device which does degrade the sound somewhat compared to directly from the internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars sorprendente gran volumen y calidad
Reviewed in Mexico on May 18, 2024
Model name: JBL Authentics 500Verified Purchase
Estaba entre el era 300 y esta jbl, al final como solo la necesitaba para musica y no para ver peliculas me fuis por los Authentics 500 que tienen una potencia muy alta, con solo el 30% de volumen se escucha muy bien cada detalle de la musica y con bajos con mucha precencia, si lo subo al 50% hasta retumban mis ventanas y eso que es una sala comedor de 12mtsx16. Me gusta que tenga el control manual de bajos ya que para algunas canciones con mucho bajo la bocinas los levanta muy bien pero empieza a vibrar todo. Muy contento y vale lo que cuesta muy premium todo.

Solo tuve un problema al inicio para configurar el wifi, desde mi sala no queria configurarse la bocina, tuve que ir al segundo piso donde esta el modem para configurarla, como que necesita estar muy cerca del modem para recibir la Primera Conexion, la tuve que configurar estando a lado del modem y despues ya configurada solo fue colocarla de nuevo en mi sala, conectarla y listo, ya no me pidio nada mas y pude usarla muy bien con wifi desde ese momento.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking audio performance
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024
Model name: JBL Authentics 500Verified Purchase
To give a bit of background I am an audiophile (a lover of music) and take my music quite seriously. I run some serious hardware from meze elite epoque headphones to legacy signature speakers. I say all this to give a bit of credit to my background on sound and knowing where a good set of transducers can take you.

I recently changed my bedroom audio setup to move my floor standing speakers (old wharfedale diamond 9.5's) to acomidate my tv. This had the drawback of removing them from my echo and I needed a solution to provide the room with "good enough" audio that the little echo just could not muster. So I started my search for a new all in one voice assistant but did not want a second set of tower speakers in the room so I looked at the usual suspects. The echo studio, sonos, etc but none of them had what I was looking for when it came to sound quality. Enter the jbl 500 it was not on my radar at all but I stumbled across it in my searching. It had mixed reviews with an emphasis on the size of the speaker. Now for me coming from a set of tower speakers size was not the limiting factor. So I ordered one and had it at my door in no time at all. This guy was well packed and had a good presentation my only complaint is that the bass driver is exposed and you have to be cognizant not to put a finger through it as you lift it out of the box. This speaker has a good amount of weight for its size and feels well built. Physical setup is a breeze with one power cable and you are done. After that you need the app which is not the best but definitely not the worst I have used. In the app you will connect it to your wifi and then setup your voice assistants. This guy supports both google and alexa with the former being very easy to setup and the latter being a oddity. The google setup punched right in like any other google home device and setup was a breeze. The alexa app on the other hand just opened to a spinning circle with no errors. After contacting tech support I tried everything under the sun to get it to take and somewhere along the line fixed it. I am not sure if it was a wifi bug or just needed to run in for some time but after I tried the next day everything popped right in no problem.

Now on to the sound... good golly this was not what I was expecting! This guy goes to show what modern tech has brought to the table vs my older diamond speakers. I started it on some tash music because I was not expecting much from this guy but what came belting out from this box was clean powerful sound. My first stop was "the used - in love and death" and there it was a musical tonality that I would described as playful or V shaped. The bass was plentiful but not overwhelming, solidly in the fun category but not drifting into bloated or slow territory. In short it sounded good, darn good... better than it had rights to sound given its size. So intrigued I switched from background music to my analytical music section to see if this was some kind of fluke. I popped on one of my favorites the live copy of "Fink - troubles what you are in" and gave this speaker my full attention. This speaker did not shirk from my critical ear as the acoustic guitar was crisp and you could distinctly pick out the difference between the sounds of his palm on the wood vs the cajon. I was gobsmacked, baffled, dare I say impressed. I tossed the kitchen sink of all the greats (steely dan, daftpunk, pinkfloyd, etc) at this box and it continued to impress. I was left wondering if I toss the diamonds in favor of picking up another one of these it is THAT GOOD. The fact that a single six inch driver could come even close to the range that four drivers of the same size is witchcraft.

I love the sound profile that this uses with the heavy V shape. To me this is one of my favorites as it sets the toes a tapping and head a bobbing more than that holy grale flat profile. I would compare this to the fiio FH9 as something that I turn on and go "that sounds right" no tweaking or changes it just sounds like my ideal of what I want from music.

If you made it this far into the review I commend you! If you just scrolled to the end for the TLDR buy it you wont be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Audiophile portable speaker!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023
Model name: JBL Authentics 300Verified Purchase
This is my first JBL speaker, and I'm really, really pleased with the purchase. I never really liked the mesh fabric on speakers that's why I never purchased anything from JBL until now. The authentics 300 is my best aesthetically pleasing speaker, it has more presence than my Fluance fi50 which is finished in bamboo and superior build quality over my other speakers from Tribit,SoundCore, Sony,W-King, Sharp and House of Marley( if design and visual appeal is a priority for you look no further) But how does it sound? This I can say with complete confidence, the authentics 300 has taken the #one spot amongst my Bluetooth speakers. It has the Fidelity and clarity of my Fluance fi50, the dynamic range and texture of my SoundCore motion X-600 plus a superior soundstage and the bass response is more impactful and controlled than My Tribit Storm Box blast!! The speaker is very impressive to say the least. There was one concern I had before my purchase, I saw a review on YouTube stating that the sound quality of the speaker on the battery was a huge roll-off in output, so I tested the authentics 300 at the park up against my Altec Lansing Rockbox XL( I posted the video on YouTube) and I happy to report that the JBL authentics 300 has more than enough power output on the battery to be heard and felt... But the battery is only capable of 8hrs of playtime. So that's my thoughts on the authentics 300 from JBL, it is an expensive speaker but, there isn't anything on the market that can offer the sound quality and aesthetic appeal in a portable speaker that it has, this speaker is a testament of JBL's legacy of sound reproduction at its finest!!

I have been a big fan of the JBL Charge 5 for 2 years and wanted to step up for an overall upgrade. JBL again has delivered. I am personally a big fan of clarity, brightness and warm but not overwhelming bass. This speaker is just fantastic in build and sound quality. I have recently tried a few other brands that to me can not match the JBL for overall satisfying sound and clean look. This speaker sits between two rooms and easily fills each room as well as projecting outside on to our back deck. I do keep it plugged in 95% of the time but the few times I’ve moved it outside or to another room, it performs at 100%. JBL knows speakers and the Authentic 300 is another company brand treasure.
