Portable Speaker With Optical Input Jbl

[Yes] The size in no way limits the great sound from this very portable speaker. I’m very happy with the purchase. JBL never disappoints me.

[20 Hours] Wonderful sound coming out of this little speaker. Highly recommended especially with the JBL portable app where you can adjust the bass levels.

[2-Channel] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Authentics 300 portable home speaker is a great addition to any audio enthusiast's collection. JBL has successfully combined style and substance in this compact yet powerful device. The speaker has a sleek design with a minimalist aesthetic that seamlessly fits into any home decor. The premium materials feel robust and of good quality. Set up is easy, thanks to its user-friendly interface. Bluetooth connectivity worked great and I appreciated the inclusion of multiple input options, including USB and auxiliary ports. The JBL Authentics 300 delivers a remarkably immersive audio experience. The dual 6.5-inch woofers and high-frequency tweeters produce a well-balanced sound profile. The bass is deep and punchy without overpowering the midrange and treble, resulting in a crisp and clear audio output. While not as compact as some truly portable speakers, the integrated handle and reasonable weight make it easy to move around the house or take to gatherings. The rechargeable battery adds convenience for outdoor use, extending the speaker's versatility beyond the confines of your living room. Tthe JBL Authentics 300 portable home speaker impresses with its stylish design, easy setup, and, most importantly, exceptional sound quality. While it may not be the most compact option in the portable speaker market, its blend of aesthetics, functionality, and portability make it a worthy investment for those seeking a versatile audio solution for their home.

[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.

[6 Hours] This, product does not have thunderous rave party bass, but it is an excellent choice that gives more expensive speakers a run for their money, and excels some of them as well.. Great sound, with or without an App, Offers a Aux input unlike JBL,and if you are into high resolution audio, it has that as well...Excellent sound for refined spaces, Gentrification without losing your apartment, so to speak...I wish i had gotten it in Polar Grey, but it is what it is... Soundcore continues to offer great value for your dollar if you are on a budget, and at the time of this review, B&H will soon have the Soundcore Mini for 25 dollars, which is a few years old and still holds up well and i can personally vouch for it as well, as it is a gem among cheap speakers, and it includes an Aux input unlike JBL's cheaper offerings, and whoever your favorite vocalist is, you will like their voice on it... To be clear, the Mini is for small spaces only, it is no competition whatsoever to any of JBL's small offerings volume wise and you cant clip it to anything, but is a great sounding 25 dollar speaker, if you dont mind the mini usb charging, as this speaker was out years before USB-C, but it has again, a Aux input, Micro SD Card inout, and 5 watt output, with a built in FM radio... Cant vouch for the radio, and it's not water resistant, but it's a nice little devil...
