Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love, love, love. I have a few Bluetooth speakers lower priced and 1 equivalent. This one sounds WAY better than the Harman Karson Onyx 6. I really liked the onyx until I got this one. I like really loud music and this one is my favorite! The base is lovely amd the sound is so clear. It easily connect to my phone and hooked up to my google home flawlessly. The price is high but sounds fantastic. If it ever goes on sale, I will buy another one, no question. Only flaw in my opinion, I wish they would have a grate or something to protect the speaker underneath. Just need to make sure you put it on a flat surface. Love it.

Stylish, good battery life and fantastic sound. Also, it works via bluetooth or airplay.

Great sound quality, and surprisingly powerful bass considering its being battery powered by a tiny battery. The only downside is its 8 hour battey life but its a double edge sword as its also extremely easy to replace. The front cover can be removed and under that are two screws which hold a plastic battery cover. The battery is relatively chyeap at around 30 dollers online and is just an un plug and replug replacement. Talk about repairability! And of course its rechargable but we all know batteries dont last forever. Good thing JBL thought about the devices longevity instead of the modern replace it mentality when something does not hold a charge.

I’m writing this review after literally JUST giving this speaker an initial first listen. WOW! Definitely love this thing! Clean highs and punchy bass…I went through all different genres of music on my playlist and I am highly impressed with the sound quality and overall aesthetic of it. I have soooo many different Bluetooth speakers around the house and was hesitant to buy another but I’m so glad I did! Can’t really speak to the battery life but I’m gonna assume it’s up there with the other JBL speakers I own and it’s always been sufficient. Nice work JBL!

I love the retro look and feel. Sounds amazing also app control is pretty cool. Highly recommend purchase. It's loud, clear, and great bass.

Got this for my daughter on her birthday because she LOVES music and Amazon Alexa was just not doing it anymore. The choice was between the JBL or Sonos Move 2. We are a Sonos household by and large and love them but my daughter liked the looks of this one and the fact that it had physical controls instead of tactile. It is a really good sounding speaker and the battery seems to last pretty well. Probably not as long as the Sonos but we have not tested.

Has a nice robust yet sleek design/color scheme. The sound quality is incredible for its size and price. Overall a solid choice from JBL.

Impressed! Great sound, easy set up. Love the retro look. Premium materials. You won’t be disappointed.

Speaker looks and sounds great. This one having the battery is nice too. I don't think it's going to be something you very around often, but when you want/need to is very nice. I assume the battery is adding a bit to the cost, so make sure you buy it on sale and that will help. One concern I have is the support from JBL down the road. 2-3 I expect it to be well supported and updated occasionally, but it's the 5+ years down the road that I assume support will start to fall away. Yes, the speaker will still work I'm sure, but the smarts of it could very well be degraded. Just sometime to think about with smart speakers in general.

The sound quality on this speaker is amazing. I am a huge fan of JBL have a lot of their products and this is the best speaker i have, i love the retro look to it, looks perfect sitting next to my record player. Battery last a long time and the sound quality is crisp. The display in the store does this no justice once you get it home and play your music you will love this speaker.

This particular speaker is great for the outdoors as well as indoors. The sound is crisp and clear without that overpowering boom from the woofer. It also works great as a sound bar for the tv. I couldn’t be happier with the sound, quality and look of the speaker. I looked at the competition but this one really stood out.

This has been excellent , besides it looking really nice. It sounds amazing as well and the battery has been great. I’m considering getting the bigger one as well but the 300 has the handle and easier to carry around. Yes there is a cost but still love this thing. It’s connected to the WiFi so I can just tell Alexa to play music and get the better quality!

Easy and light to carry. It also has great sound quality!

Great speaker love the sounds and portability and battery life

Incredible bass for such a small speaker. The finish quality looks and feels high quality. The battery life is also great. Overall, its a bit pricey when not on sale, but totally worth it imo. The JBL app could use some work (it doesnt have spotify built in, which is an interesting decision)

Great sound and worth every penny. Will by the 500

The sound is very good and crisp. The bluetooth has a great range.

Great speaker from JBL that offers amazing sound quality, along with Google assistant/Alexa being built into it. The battery last between 6-8 hours depending on the volume level, although I’ve mostly been using it plugged in. I highly recommend the JBL Authentic 300.

Really cool product. looks amazing, sounds good too

While its not extremely loud the bass and treble adjustments makes it easy get the best sound for your music type, its so clean and crisp, I didnt know audio could sound this good out of a battery powered speaker. 5/5 would recommend
