Jbl Bluetooth Speaker With Usb Playback

[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.

[Titanium] The speaker squeezes a few functionality under the same roof for a fairly low price. It has bluetooth, SD card reader and USB playback. It also has USB recording which is surprisingly a rare feature in audio equipment. The only other model that I found having this feature was Fender Passport Venue which is much more expensive. It is a surprise that it's such a rare feature --- it's the 21'st century for goodness sake! The speaker has a 3 channel mixer which is fairly good for me. I am connecting the Left/Right output of my mixer to the L/R inputs. The speaker mixes these two into one channel. I occasionally connect the bluetooth of my iPhone or iPad to it and use it to play back. I am no expert in audio equipment. I am a simple occasional user who needs something of a fairly good quality, and this has so far given me what I wanted. Although I am wondering if the 15 version of the same speaker sounds any better. It has wheels and rubber or synthetic pads underneath that make it very easy to move on a hardwood floor. It has handles on the top, and on both sides which make it very easy to carry. The casing is nice but not tough. If you often need to carry it to venues, wrap it, secure it or use a carrying case.

[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.
