Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product! I have this size and the JBL 300 as well. They produce great quality of sound while looking aesthetically pleasing in our home. Would highly recommend if you want it to go with your game or music room.

Sound quality is pretty good. Good for this price and easy to use.

One of my best purchases. Speakers out perform anything out there for the quality. Sound is amazing

Best home speaker in the range and would absolutely recommend to anyone buying a home speaker for 500 There is no competition

Very good sound. Excellent bass. However, volume increments make it unusable. Volume 10 is too low, 15 okay, 20 is loud, 25 is too loud. Volume goes to 100.

Had purchased the JBL boom box 3 very nice speaker so when the authentic came out I went to look at it but my mind was already on go mode so I returned the boombox and honestly I am not disappointed the best speaker I’ve owned thus far only drawback is it’s not portable and no battery plug in speaker

This speaker has great sound. I love the retro look. It can be used without an app if that's your thing. I use it mainly for music playback. It looks really good in my place. It's kind of expensive, so not everyone could get it but if you have the money its a nice piece to add to any room.

Love it. Bass that makes your body thud. Only complaint is you lose the bass if youre not right in front of it. Its also a great statement piece

wanted something I could put in place sight in the living room and this fit the bill. it also sounds amazing!

Speaker is clear at high levels and loud, the only thing that prevents me from giving 5 is the subs kinda fall flat at high levels but at that level if to loud for the room. Just ordered a second to try stereo out. One fills out the house pretty clear from the room on second floor

sound Great. I Used For Party on A pool it’s Was Amazing Sound.

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 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 exactly what I was looking for. This speaker has great sound from just streaming music to having the TV connected for movies. This is one of our best technology purchases of the year.

Lots of bass. App lets you equalize for rock and other genres. Overall good quality.

I am very happy with the sound quality of this speaker. Even at low volumes it produces sound as it was intended.

Spectacular sound, easy set up, now can enjoy the tunes i grew up with anytime I wish. Great job guys.

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.

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. 

These are awesome. Got 3 of them throughout the house for multiroom music. Way better than overpriced sonos stuff
