HAD TO HAVE A SECOND ONE
Already bought one a few weeks before and just had to get a second one. The sound is so incredible having the second speaker. Stereo sound is incredible. If your budget allows it, it's definitely worth having two. Bluetooth is such a bonus. Recomend on every level, quality, sound and value is worth buying JBL

PERFECTION
Wanted a speaker that had good sound, base and treble. The sound is so great. You can hear all the instruments and vocals so clearly. The set up was so easy and bluetooth connection is great. Recomend this speaker to anyone that enjoys listening to music. Oh and the Google connection is great when you can't be bothered getting up to turn sound up or down. Quality, good value and perfection. Highly recomend.

At a glance
The JBL Authentics 500 Wifi Speaker is a premium home speaker for people who want strong, room-filling sound, stylish retro design and easy wireless streaming. It suits medium to large living spaces and households using voice assistants for music and smart home control. Key strengths are its powerful sound, WiFi flexibility and simple app tuning. The main limitation is its large, mains-powered design, which is less suited to smaller rooms or portable use.

Things to consider

Multi-room flexibility
Good for WiFi-based home listening across shared living spaces, with app control helping it fit into broader smart home routines.
Portability rating
2/10 - large, mains-powered speaker intended for fixed indoor placement rather than carrying room to room.
Music quality score
9/10 - powerful, room-filling JBL sound that suits medium to large rooms and everyday high-impact listening.
Smart home compatibility
Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa
Outdoor suitability
3/10 - better suited to indoor use due to its substantial size and mains-powered design.
Key benefits
- WiFi Streaming: Supports reliable wireless music playback at home without relying only on a phone’s Bluetooth connection.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Lets guests and household members quickly stream music from compatible devices.
- Built-In Voice Assistants: Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support hands-free music control, answers and smart home routines.
- JBL One App Control: Makes it easy to customise EQ, alarms and sleep timer settings from your phone.
- Room-Filling Sound: Designed to suit medium to large rooms and open-plan spaces with fuller, more immersive audio.
- Retro Premium Design: The aluminium frame and custom leather enclosure add a distinctive look that stands out on display.
- Intuitive On-Unit Controls: Gives you direct access to everyday adjustments without always needing the app.
- Home-Friendly Placement: Its cabinet size suits a sideboard or bench for a stable, dedicated listening setup.
Q: Is the JBL Authentics 500 easy to move between rooms?
A: No. JBL Authentics 500 is built as a substantial home speaker, measuring 447mm wide, 240mm high and 255.7mm deep. It suits a fixed indoor spot on a bench, sideboard or entertainment unit more than regular room-to-room moving.
Q: Do I need Wi-Fi to use this speaker every day?
A: No. This speaker can play wirelessly over Bluetooth without joining your home Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is the better fit for home streaming, app-based control and smart features, while Bluetooth is handy for quick pairing from a phone or tablet.
Q: Can Google Assistant and Alexa work on the same speaker?
A: Yes. JBL Authentics 500 supports Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa on the one speaker, so both voice services can be available at the same time. That suits homes already using mixed smart devices and routines.
Q: Can I change the bass and treble on this speaker?
A: Yes. JBL Authentics 500 works with the JBL One app, which lets you customise EQ settings for a more balanced sound in your room. The app also handles extras such as alarms and a sleep timer, so control goes beyond basic playback.
Q: Where does this speaker fit best in a typical room?
A: JBL Authentics 500 fits best on a sideboard, bench or entertainment unit with clear space for its 447mm width. Its cabinet is better suited to medium or larger indoor rooms than a tight shelf, bedroom nook or outdoor area.
Q: Is the Authentics 500 suitable for outdoor entertaining areas?
A: No. JBL Authentics 500 is designed for indoor use and is better matched to living rooms or open-plan spaces. If you want a speaker for patios, pool areas or frequent carrying outside, this is not the right style of model.
