    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

    Awesome quality speaker. Small but loud with good bass and nice easy controls on top. Speaker only in front so point it where you are. Doesn't have a battery, only a plug in.

    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!!

    Ill make this short and sweet.. Don't let the small size of the 200 fool you. With 90 watts it has amazing sound. I have many JBL speakers and this ranks up close to the top . Its on sale now !!!! Go buy it !!!
