    OMG I'm in love with this speaker! I've always LOVED Harmon Kardon speakers. They have such a unique and perfect sound. If I could I would fill my house with Harmon Kardon! So when JBL and Harmon made THIS.... um.... YES! Just YES! It's pricey, but soooooo worth it!

    The sound is impressive. Bluetooth connectivity is easier than you may assume. So long as its plugged in and the power is on, it will grab the paired device once in the room.

  • Decent sound, unreliable streaming

    The Authentics 500 is a hefty, attractive unit with plenty of power and generous bass. Sound overall is decent - better than typical smart speakers, but lacking the clarity of a consumer grade stereo with bookshelf speakers. Setup and logging on to wifi was straightforward, as was setting up Amazon Alexa and Amazon music. Unfortunately, streaming Amazon music is plagued by frequent dropouts and random pausing. I'll be returning the unit tomorrow.

    This is one of the best speakers I’ve heard at this size in this price range. The quality is great. The aesthetics are nice and overall the best speaker you can get for the price I’d say.

    Best in the game! It has been a while since I wanted to buy a speaker and replace my old ones. I came across the speaker when I was traveling and I enjoyed it so much and I had to buy it on the spot. I totally recommend it for anyone who was looking for and sound system for a home theater or even for a simple use.
