A Powerful and Stylish Speaker

After extensive use of the JBL Authentics 500, I have a good idea of what this speaker has to offer. Here are my findings:

Design and Construction Quality
The JBL Authentics 500 immediately stands out because of its stylish design. It combines a modern look with a touch of retro, which gives it a unique look that fits into many interiors. Build quality is excellent, which isn't surprising given the JBL brand's reputation for making durable audio gear.

Sound quality
The sound quality of the Authentics 500 is impressive. It offers powerful, clear sound with deep bass and clean treble. The speaker delivers a rich and detailed sound experience, making it ideal for a wide range of music genres. Whether you listen to classical music or the latest pop hits, this speaker delivers a consistent and enjoyable listening experience.

Connectivity and Ease of Use
The Authentics 500 scores high in terms of connectivity. It supports Bluetooth, making it easy to connect your smartphone, tablet or laptop. The operation is intuitive and user-friendly, with clear buttons and a simple setup.

Value for money
While the JBL Authentics 500 may be on the pricey side, the excellent sound quality and build quality justifies the price. For those willing to invest in a high-quality speaker, this model certainly offers value for money.

Conclusion
The JBL Authentics 500 is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-end speaker with great sound, a stylish design, and reliable connectivity. It's an investment that both audiophiles and casual music lovers will appreciate.

Fantastic sound

  • Sound
  • Design
  • Digital settings
  • It would be nice if it also included internal DAB+

Beautiful sound,
Getting everything to work together if you have a TV (1st generation flat screen) and surround (all with cables) then it is a bit more difficult to connect. But it works and sounds fantastic.
Can't find much explanation about this either.
If everything is digital and your devices are all Bluetooth capable, then it is easy and works fantastic.

Sublime sound in a small box

  • very easy operation
  • installation is done in no time
  • fits a bit bigger than expected

The appearance is what you choose the speaker for, it certainly has a cool retro look.
how heavy and solid it feels, the speaker cloth is made of a kind of hard plastic, which is a bit disappointing, it does not feel like fabric, as it looks, I expected something different from this.

Pairing via Bluetooth is easy, just hold down the button on top and it can be found via the settings of your phone.
there are 3 buttons on top; 1 volume knob, 1 knob to adjust the bass and 1 knob to adjust the treble (high).
The buttons have an LED strip all around, which allows you to see which setting you have set the bass or treble to. This light dims when you are no longer near it.

The volume of the speaker itself cannot (unfortunately) be controlled with the telephone, while this can be done with another top brand.
So you control the volume separately on the speaker and separately from your phone.
You can pause via the speaker AND the telephone.

There is no arguing about the sound, it is sublime.
Due to its weight, the speaker is very sturdy, which benefits the sound.
A larger bass speaker at the bottom provides deep bass when requested.

It is a bit larger than I thought, so keep that in mind if you want to place it in a narrow area.
