    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!

    I use this speaker at work in a factory setting. The work environment is loud, and somewhat dusty. This JBL Authentic speaker has been awesome! Very easy to connect to bluetooth, the sub on the bottom is powerful, the sound quality is top notch! Thinking about a second one for at home. Awesome product!!

    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.

    My favorite home speaker! I love the look of it, very classy. The bass in it is great and super loud. Only downside is that it must be plugged in to a power source.

    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.

    For under $270, I am floored at how good this speaker sounds. That's not to say it's perfect, of course.... and the knobs are pretty wack, truth be told. I do kinda wish in retrospect that I had demoed the Authentics 300!

    This speaker has a very unique look for a Jbl that I find very cool. High quality bass and loudness. I would recommend it if you plan on keeping it indoors since it uses a power cable
