Use Echo Dot As Bluetooth Speaker Without Wifi

The sound quality is far and away better than my old Echo Dot.

Love the Play 5. Waiting to have this beautiful speaker work wirelessly with Amazon Echo. Have the Echo Dot connected via the jack with a cable.

I love the quality of sound this speaker produces and how easy it was to setup. I hooked up an echo dot to it and it's easily my favorite gadget in the house.

As dosent have Alexa built in, have connected with an Echo Dot. Connection not perfect . However the speaker produces a great sound, for our large kitchen-diner. Powerful bass, and a good app, to stream music.

One set on my computer. One set at my Shop hooked up to my Echo Dot.

I love this as an upgrade from my Echo Dot. Easy to use and small enough to not be a distraction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Authentics 200 is the smallest of JBL Authentics speaker line. It is a modern speaker with a hint of the companies retro look on the front grill. It is a high quality compact bluetooth/wifi speaker. It has all of the latest features like dual voice assistants, bluetooth 5.3, wifi, a wired LAN connection, a 3.5mm auxilary input. It has physical buttons and dials like play/pause, bluetooth, a favotites button and volume, treble and bass dials. The JBL One app helps make the best of the speakers technology as it provides controls as well as the ability to update the speakers firmware. The speaker packs a punch for its size. The output is rated at 90 watts and can get pretty loud. The sound is crisp, clear, well balanced with great bass. The speaker has two 1/4” front firing tweeters, one 5” front firing full range woofer and one 6” down firing bass radiator which helps give the speaker great bass response. This speaker is a definate keeper as it is packed with the latest features, sounds great, can get loud and looks great.

The B&O Level is amazing! I've owned and still own quite a few high-end speakers and this one tops them all (except my Naim Muso QB2. It's close but, the Naim is not portable like this one is. I love being about to take this speaker outside and enjoy HiFi music on the screened porch. Bass, mids and highs are clear and the sound is open and powerful. No issues with the B&O app. It works perfectly. I read a lot of people complain about connectivity with this speaker. I am using Google WiFi (mesh) with no issues whatsoever. It works beautifully for me. Costly, yes! Worth it, YES! But, please do not buy this speaker just for Bluetooth (lossy) (I personally do not use Bluetooth) as this speaker shines with WiFi streaming (lossless) . If you want a Bluetooth speaker, buy a much cheaper speaker. Buy this speaker for lossless streaming only. Built quality is top notch, as expected from B&O. I also feel B&H Customer Service is the best there is! They price match a cheaper sale from another main competitor and I saved $120. If you are on the fence about buying it, don't be. You will truly enjoy this speaker and what it had to offer if you are into music.

I've purchased and listened to several Bluetooth & WiFi speaker and this is by far the best speaker system on the market for the cost! Plus, all speaker in the Sonos product line are expandable making setup options to fit everyone needs / taste...

The 5th gen. iteration of the Echo Dot is greatly improved with better sound, l.e.d. display and many useful functions. We purchased several of them and are pleased with the endless useful features that make a household run more smoothly. B&H had a great price and shipping was timely.
