Jbl Link 500 Bluetooth Smart Speaker

The JBL Authentics 500 is the perfect Bluetooth speaker for one who wants crisp, clear, defined audio as well as quality bass (bass and treble are adjustable btw). It easily fills a large room with sound as well as small areas with ease. The aesthetic of the speaker is both classic JBL retro throwback but also modern enough for any home decor.

[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.

This JBL Authentics 500 retro looking smart home speaker is amazing. Punchy lows, powerful mids, and crisp highs! Everything down to the clean brass / gold accents on the speaker, beautiful grille, to the packaging screams classy. This absolutely can be a center piece and doesnt need to be hidden away like other speakers you may have in your home. As classy and sophisticated the JBL Authentics 500 looks, it does not play around when you need to transform your home into your very own live concert or night club. At it's top volume, you have no distortion and even your neighbors across the street will be enjoying the quality of sound this speaker gives.

This is a wi-fi speaker meaning you can pair the JBL Authentics 500 with all of your other wi-fi enabled smart speakers in home! An absolute joy to shake your home and feel like you are front stage at your favorite band's concert!

This portable smart speaker goes everywhere with me. Much better quality sound than JBL, Beats and Aztec. The Bluetooth range is amazing combined with the Wi-Fi Alexa or your favorite streaming platform makes me want to buy another 1 and link them throughout my entire home.

A very good speaker I like how fast it is to link to other JBL speakers and the durability of it 10/10 speaker.

I replaced a Bose Smart Speaker 500 with the Marshall Action 3 speaker. I prefer the simplicity & well built design of my Marshall speaker, and the sound is indeed AWESOME!

I am so happy I bought the JBL Charge 4, it’s everything that I wanted in a Bluetooth speaker. It’s my first time with JBL and it did not disappoint me in any way.

After listening to my sister-in-laws Bose sound link micro Bluetooth speaker, I had to get one for myself!

I have other Bluetooth speakers and this new Bose Sound Link speaker Beats them all! Great Sound and Easy to Pair with devices. It is light weight and Well Made!
