Nice classic look, feels super solid and high quality. Alexa integration is great. Sound quality and bass are very good for the size. Little expensive for what you get, wish it had Atmos at this price point.

Sleek looking, big sound from a compact sound system! Retro vibes get everyone’s attention. Looks great in our living room too. This was a gift for my husband and he loves it!

This is probably the best "smart" speaker I've ever owned. Combining both iOS and Android features, that can be used at the same time makes it so useful. AirDrop and ChromeCast being built in make everything so easy. Not to mention the incredible sound.

JBL makes very perfect use of DSP. Computers can account for a lot. The speaker really does auto-tune, so power up where you would listen to it and try to keep things quiet at that moment. The app is useful. .. BTW the speaker was four stars but an app update really added features and somehow better sound. .. Really thrilled.

Works great and sounds great. It's working now with my Google and Alexa assistants at the same time. If I say Hey Google or Alexa and this box answers and does what it is supposed to. Also connected via Bluetooth to my PC. Superior sound by far compared to Google and Alexa brand speakers.

The JBL Authentics 200 Speaker Rocks

I love my JBL Authentics 200! First, the retro style resembles my past speakers. I looked at Sonos portable speakers, but the JBL had a richer sound. Despite the 200 is the entry level speaker in the Authentics line, it fills my small man cave with beautiful music. I also appreciate having a port to connect my CD player in addition to Bluetooth connectivity for my digital library.

Great sound for a tabletop speaker. It doesn't look quite as sharp as a Klipsch, but the bass is something else. It'd be nice if it had more app integration, but maybe that will come.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He is one who loves to listen to music when he cooks,
Showers or just hanging out. It puts off ground sound. It was between two different speakers and I’m so glad I chose this one. I would recommend.
I’m actually buying another one for the other end of the house. Jam on!

Great sound - replacing my dead Bose bookshelf speakers. Super easy setup with Alexa and Bluetooth. The only downside is I can’t figure out how to get it into a google home group. JBL did not respond to that question. Still would like to know what the JBL devices are called in google home. I’m not using it as a mobile speaker so I haven’t tested the battery life or range.

This thing is unbelievable. I needed an inexpensive but really good speaker to play the music at my dad's memorial in a large room. It worked amazingly, sounded like a concert hall. It is my go to now for all things sound in my home and elsewhere.

This speaker sounds great and has plenty of power. It is used in a music teaching studio, so the rich sound is greatly appreciated. I'm delighted with this purchase.
