Bluetooth Speaker For Room

I paid extra for a Bose Bluetooth speaker over other brands because we used to own a Bose Wave Radio/CD player, and I still use my Bose PC speakers. I know a lot of hardcore audiophiles dislike Bose for how it manipulates the audio - but I'm no audiophile, and Bose speakers always have big sound for a small device - not just loud, but full and encompassing the space I'm in. This one surprised even me with how room-filling the audio is, especially from a battery-operated speaker that's not much bigger than a portable DVD drive. It goes with me whenever I travel now, and I take it from the living room to the bathroom when I'm showering so I can hear over the water what's being said on podcasts.

I got this for my daughter as she was headed off to college. I was looking for a bluetooth speaker for her dorm room and finally realized that the Apple product was not much more than the cheap ones I had been looking at. When we got it we were super impressed with the product overall and especially the sound (for such a small speaker).

The speaker is small looks nice you look at it and your maybe having little expectations however turn it on connect bluetooth and see how clear and amazing that sound is raise the volume and notice it fills way more then just a room a living room and more very loud to the point it actually pushes air out the speaker. Definitely buy worth it absolutely plus it has very tiny rubber point legs which keep locked in the ground and is also waterproof.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Authentics 500 was absolutely breathtaking right out of the box. Quick and easy pairing via Bluetooth made for a fast startup, and then song after song was incredible to listen to from a relatively portable speaker. The first thing noticed was the cool, retro vibe of the speaker - not as common anymore but a welcome addition to any room and much more subtle than many of today's speakers. Trying to test the full range, this speaker performed magnificently from classical music with piano solos, to guitar riffs in rock and metal, to room-shaking bass in rap. The volume, bass and treble controls on top of the speaker are easily tuned and have a great light feature which indicates the level (i.e. the higher either of these are turned, the more full the circle of light becomes). Playing drastically different styles of music allows the listener to easily hear why the product is so amazing: the three tweeters, three midrange woofers and large subwoofer create an immersive sound experience, no matter what is being played. Additionally, this speaker performs amazingly well when paired with a TV/entertainment center. When paired with Bluetooth to the streaming service, watching movies became a delight and provided rich, deep sound with stunningly clear audio for voices and sound effects. Aside from the music quality, the WiFi integration on the Authentics 500 allows for automated assistants to be readily available (also accessible via ethernet port in the rear of the unit). While the price of the Authentics 500 is near or higher than some similarly-sized speakers in the market, the look, quality and value of JBL continues to exceed expectations and this is no exception. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to invest in a great, long-term, high quality speaker to enjoy throughout the home for years to come.

The best bluetooth speaker investment choice I could have made!

This clarity is unheard of in a home bluetooth speaker.
