Jbl Bluetooth Radio Speaker

[3.32 lb] The Jbl speakers are always impressive, but the charge 4 is such a quality Bluetooth speaker that I will be purchasing another one to have a pair of the awesome bass pumping speakers.

[270 W ] [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.

[5 VDC, 2 A] Wanted something to transmit SiriusXM radio to my Bluetooth speaker. Easy setup. Connects with no problem. Seems to have good range, even from a separate room. Recommended. Thanks.

[2] It's the best Bluetooth speaker ever used it has good bass

[Plywood] I've been a JBL person for many years, but I must say that putting this speaker next to my JBl JRX112M (the same speaker configuration), blew me away. I never thought JBL could be surpassed. I was wrong. This EV speaker did it. As a pro musician for many years, I rate this at the top 3 speakers in it's class, if not the top of the heap. I love the light weight for transporting, as I have to move my equipment 5 nights per week in Las Vegas. The sound reproduction is great. It actually put out more volume at the same mixer setting than the JBL. There are two things I would like to see changed. The handles should be on top (as the JBL), not on the sides. This will make the speaker easier to grab and load into a vehicle, instead of bending over and reaching for the handle on the side. Another change I would like to see, is that the cabinet would have both Speakon and 1/4 inputs, as some mixers don't have Speakon outputs, therefore requiring you to buy an adaptor. The JBL has both Speakon and 1/4 inputs. Otherwise, this speaker is an excellent choice...

[2.85 mm] Great speaker purchase for us. We love our JBL CHARGE 5.

[>80 dB] Have had this JBL speaker about 2 weeks. Love the adjustable equalizer on the app. Speaker sounds loud & clear. Has great bass & lofty highs. Love cranking rock music from this speaker. Light show is an added benefit but secondary to the music quality. Sooo happy I bought it! Love this speaker.

[14.565 lb] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE this product. By far my favorite portable bluetooth speaker JBL has released to date. Let's start with the retro style - STUNNING. It doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in the house or outside...it blends in and adds a nice touch to any room. Next, the sound - this thing BUMPS...crystal clear vocals, deep bass, and perfectly toned music. PLUS, you can tune both treble/bass to your specific liking with the knobs on top! The buttons, and dials are HIGH quality as well... The wifi feature is also amazing...you can connect to your local network and play music off that if you prefer to bluetooth - so many options. 5/5! You nailed this one JBL!
