JBL Speaker Authentics 500 Hi-Fidelity Wireless Smart Home - JBLAUTH500BLKAM

JBL Authentics 500 Speaker High-Fidelity Wireless Smart Home Audio

The JBL Authentics 500 wireless speaker tackles all of the expectations of a modern smart home speaker, all while wearing the mask of true retro style. Inspired by some of JBL's most iconic designs from the '70s, this model's Quadrex grille and faux leather accent work give off the vibe of a model you'd see connected to an older amplifier and a classic turntable. Instead, it's a wireless home speaker. This pick is crafted with modern tweeters, midrange woofers and a downfiring subwoofer made mighty with the brand's SlipStream bass port. SlipStream brings better bass than ever, all for quality sound that matches the beautiful, vintage look.

Vintage and Retro? Or Smarter and Connected?

This wireless model manages to be both. The JBL Authentics 500 brings smart design to your favorite playlists with the ability to stream music via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. That being said, this model is perfect for virtual voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. That means you'll be easily plugged into your other smart home devices and even other JBL Authentics speakers. Controlling this audio device isn't difficult, either, with a little help from the JBL One app. In here, you can customize the EQ, switch up your settings and explore music services that are integrated right into the app. Plus, this audio device tunes itself for truly optimal listening. That being said, one of our favorite things about JBL is their commitment to eco-friendliness, evident here in the 100% recycled fabric and partially recycled plastics and aluminum.
