Classic JBL heritage designs have inspired the overall appearance of this classic design. Without giving up any visual details, sustainable materials are used throughout exterior elements—from the aluminum frame to the leather-like enclosure.

Each detail has been carefully crafted and placed to guarantee a complete, eco-friendly appearance for the JBL Authentics 500.
Elevated Sound Anywhere
Once you've set up the JBL Authentics 500, listen to your favorite playlists, podcasts and more with enhanced audio quality. The 3.1 channel sound uses Dolby Atmos to reproduce audio as if you were watching a live performance or sitting in the studio with the artist. Whether you have an upcoming celebration or a simple get-together, place several JBL speakers around the room for premium multi-room playback. Now, everyone will hear the same songs and audio playback with increased clarity. Regardless of the room layout, the JBL Authentics 500 adjusts settings as needed to ensure an optimal listening experience each time. This self-tuning feature works in every location, so even changing rooms won't affect the overall sound quality.
Countless Control Options
Use the JBL One app for convenient control and access to the JBL Authentics 500. From adjusting the bass levels to personalizing EQ settings, explore countless options to tailor each session to your preferences. You'll even have the chance to discover new go-to tunes thanks to the included music services. Once the settings are where you want, play all of your go-to songs via Bluetooth connections.
