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.

Q: Is the JBL Authentics 500 portable, or does it need to stay plugged in?
A: No. The Authentics 500 is a mains-powered home speaker, not a battery model, so it is designed to stay plugged in. If portability matters, this is the key difference from the smaller Authentics 300, which is the more travel-friendly option in the range.
Q: Do I need WiFi to use the JBL Authentics 500 properly?
A: No, but WiFi unlocks more of what this speaker is built for. Bluetooth is fine for straightforward music playback, while WiFi is the better choice for streaming from apps, using voice assistants and managing settings like EQ, alarms and sleep timers in the JBL One app.
Q: What size room is the JBL Authentics 500 best suited to?
A: The Authentics 500 is better suited to medium to large rooms than a bedroom or study speaker. Its larger cabinet and room-filling sound are aimed at open-plan living spaces, while smaller rooms may need lower volume and some EQ adjustment for balanced listening.
Q: Can the JBL Authentics 500 be used as a TV speaker?
A: Yes, but it is better matched to music listening than a dedicated TV soundbar. The listed wireless connections are WiFi and Bluetooth, so TV use can depend on your television's compatibility and may be less convenient for lip-sync and remote volume control.
Q: How much space do I need for the JBL Authentics 500 on a shelf or cabinet?
A: The speaker itself is 447mm wide, 240mm high and 255.7mm deep, so it needs a fairly substantial shelf or cabinet. It suits a sideboard, entertainment unit or bench better than a narrow bookshelf, especially if you want some breathing room around the cabinet.
