Big, Bigger, Biggest

Very Powerful, perhaps not thought through fully in that respect, I had to create an isolation platform to control the Bass. It is very dependent upon room acoustics, but when it works, I swear to you the Stones are in the House, I have never heard anything like one in my life. But I still prefer the Authentics 300 because of it's Grace... Satchmo on that is beautiful. Overall the 500 is a grenade of a thing, exploding all over the room(s). Oh well back to the Kinks

Outstanding purchase

I did a lot of research on my first 'proper' speaker for my home, and landed on the JBL Authentics. This device works well with my Spotify streaming service on WiFi or over Bluetooth. The sound quality is AMAZING and I highly recommend for the price point! It can also be used with a portable battery for tailgating :)

Classic sound and multi-connection options

Classic sound and multiple connection options with the WiFi gets you additional footage away from the JBL Authentic 500 versus Bluetooth. The sound is powerful and fills a large space with great tones. The JBL One app helps pair other WiFi or BT with the speaker. I added my JBL Extreme 4 to it and then later I added a Roku Sound bar with ease.

Cool stuff

Really happy with the quality and the look of the speaker. Think the problems people have are usually software related. Downloading the JBL app was easy and works well. However, obviously you're linking your speaker to your phone and Google account as well.. And the Google Voice assist does need tweaking and often the speaker plays the wrong music when asked to .. But I think this is just a case of how you you say it. Maybe artist first then song after seems to work better.. ..

Great speaker with good sound

I love this JBL 500 cause it is a superb speaker that delivers impressive sound quality in our big integrated kitchen/dining. With a nice design and easy-to-use controls, it is perfect for our listening to music. The speaker offers a rich and clear sound that is great for our every day use. However, one downside to the JBL is the base sounds. Should be stronger although considering the size, they are enough for our needs.
