Portable Bluetooth Speakers With 360 Volume Control

Love the headphones. Bluetooth connects easily. I can control music , volume and accept or end calls. Magnetic connections are a good touch. It help them stay put when not using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Authentics 200 is quite the speaker that’s loaded with features. First off is the design. It looks like a classic amplifier that a rockstar would use in concert. It blends in well with most any furniture. The packaging was very well designed to protect the product from damage. Setup was pretty simple with the JBL One App. One minor complaint I have though, is that you need a second app. I already have the JBL headphone app but this requires a second app. The volume, treble and bass are easy to control from the app though I haven’t found a mid-range control. The app has an equalizer to set your treble and bass and save your settings as well. You can connect via Bluetooth or WiFi which allows you to connect devices seamlessly using Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect. Voice commands are available through Alexa and Google Assistant. Alexa worked very well and was easy to set up. Voice control can be toggled on/off on the rear of the device. Some other cool features are that you can connect this via Ethernet, an Auxiliary plug, or USB not to mention the WiFi and Bluetooth. I was able to set this up to my Samsung Smart TV via Bluetooth I just wish there was a remote for the volume. I’ll have to try an auxiliary cable at some point. Overall, based on the design, ease of use, and sound quality, I would say that this is well worth the price. Another great product from JBL.

These neck-phones/speakers are excellent at virtually any volume. Using an HD music service supplies exceptional sound considering the connection is bluetooth. I do wish the Sony Headphones Connect App was available on windows 10 or 11 computers. The bluetooth connection through a windows device is abysmal. iPhone great,android great, Mac great

I bought these speakers to have some music in the kitchen. Bluetooth connects perfectly with my iPhone. The volume can be controlled either at the speakers or directly on the iPhone. They look great and sound great. Fully satisfied.

I have two sets of speakers, one indoor and one outdoor that needed separate volume control but with audio coming from the same source. Worked perfect.

I'm using a legacy power amp to power my outdoor speakers as a separate zone and did not want to purchase an expensive preamp. This component let me take the line out from my receiver and sonos directly to the 300 watt power amp and control the volume. The line out was running the amp at full volume which was both too loud and distorted. Now I have full control over the input source and the amplifier volume.

As there is no volume twirl on it, which is located in the back of the speaker, and probably that is the only con of these speakers (but maybe not because they look the same) I set it on the middle from the back - 50%, and I control the sound volume from my pc's keyboard, I am using it around 20-30% of the system volume. It has a really good quality audio and can get really really loud!

It's a great headphone amplifier, but what's also nice is it has one output for monitor speakers, with a volume knob control. We send this to the powered speakers in our school's edit lab, making it very easy to adjust volume independently to the headphones or the speakers at our Instructor station iMac.

This DAC does make a difference. The sound is more clear, clean, and present. I have this hooked up to the AudioEngine 2+ speakers, which have their volume control on the back. With this DAC, it's great to have the volume knob on the front. However, I lose onscreen feedback, and cannot use the keyboard. The volume knob has no marks on it, either. One reviewer said that he used a Sharpie to place a mark on it. For now, I don't want to mark it at all, so I'm learning how essentially fly blind. This is not ideal. When I first began using it, I could hardly hear it at all. One reviewer made a good suggestion that I have followed. Turn the volume knob of the speaker almost all the way up, and turn the DAC volume all the way down. This way, just a little movement of the DAC knob gives you better control, and you don't have to move it very far. Of course, it's also nice to have the headphone jack on the front. So nice not having to hunt in the back of my iMac. It's also nice that the speakers automatically turn off when you plug in your headphones. The body of the DAC is very lightweight. You will probably find that it swims around if you have it on a smooth surface. Quirks aside, it definitely works, and it has greatly enhanced my listening experience.

I bought these speakers for use in my son's room to help control the volume. I liked that they were wireless so he could place them closer to him, and not just at the tv. I had no idea that they were going to sound as good as they do, but I was immediately impressed by the clarity and sound quality overall.
