Is A Smartphone Speaker Grill Waterproof

I have installed 8 of these in an new Restaurant there are a fantastic speaker the grill is magnetic which makes them easier to install. The speaker has an extremely low profile the blend right into the ceiling. the centre cone can be adjusted which makes aiming the speaker amazing.

The side pocket, situated between the two side straps, is not large enough to accommodate the power cord, but may be useful for small items, like replacement fuses. However, when the speaker cabinet is placed in the bag with the grill facing the front of the bag, there's room for the power cord and a 25' XLR cable placed on top the speaker. This orientation allows the speaker handle to be facing up, where it can be easily picked up and protects the front grill of the speaker to be facing downward and get dented from placing the bag on the floor. There is only enough padding to barely protect the cabinet from minor scratches, so i've taken the advice of another reviewer to add 1 foam padding on the bottom of the case to improve protection for the cabinet, but this will not likely prevent damage from drops or careless abuse. This not a road-worthy case, but will do fine if it is used carefully. Zippers are not attached, each work independently. There is no strap, but it is not needed for this size case. Also, with no strap hook on either end, the bag can be place upright on the floor to allow more compact storage options. It will rest on the speaker's bottom where the best position can be obtained.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This home speaker blew my mind the moment I unboxed the JBL Authentics 500. It definitely has some weight and the size make it feel like a premium product. The metallic bronze finish and pattern on the speaker grill look very retro and fit in really well with the living room. Setting up the speaker was simple, connect the power cord to the speaker and connect it to the wall outlet. The quick start guide had me download the JBL One app to complete the setup. After pairing the device it prompted for a software update that took about 2 minutes to complete. A nice addition in the app is the option to set the EQ. It is nice that the speaker comes with an Ethernet port, in my case it's far from my router so I have to use WiFi. Google Assistant works well and it plays the music I want through my music subscriptions. I have another JBL speaker and I was able to easily use airplay to play the same music in multiple rooms. As far as volume, this speaker has plenty. I only went to about 50% and that more than enough to make the walls shake and sub could be felt in the walls a few rooms down the hall. Overall I'm really really really happy with this speaker. The only thing I don't like is the red LED light that comes on when I turn off the voice assistant microphone. I understand that this is to let the user know that the microphone is off but it would be nice if there was an update to turn off the LED status for when the mic is off. This way I don't see a red LED in the front speaker grill all day long. If you are thinking about purchasing it, do it. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Keep up the good work JBL!

So small but so powerful! And it's very cool that it's waterproof, it can be used as a shower speaker!

I got a great deal, this speaker is shockproof, waterproof and lasts a life, it is perfect for bike riding thanks to its deep bass and it can attach to many things.  love it

I've had this speaker long enough to know it's mighty and WATERPROOF! Took this speaker with me on my latest kayaking adventure and after turning over in the water my mighty speaker kept on playing my music...it never missed a beat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker has hit a lot of marks. It's portable, waterproof and has a clear and crisp sound quality. It sounds like a full home surround system on wheels or your shoulder (lol). Great addition for all outdoor fun yet can be used indoors too. If there was one thing I would change, I would add a carry case or bag. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend as an owner of various portable speakers of various brands, this is hands down the best. This is sure to make the next day at the park or beach a hit.

I bought this speaker after a friend had one at the beach. I love it, the sound is great and the fact that it’s waterproof and easy to take to and from the beach is great.

I bought this a month ago and couldn't be happier. I needed a waterproof speaker to use on my paddle board so that I could hear the boats around me. It works awesome!! incredible sound and great bass.

Awesome sounding speaker in a small waterproof package. I have had this speaker for about 30 days & I listen to it every day.
