Retro design with Dolby Atmos® music performance

Fill any room with cutting-edge sound and striking retro style with the JBL Authentics 500. From its Quadrex grille to its custom leather-like enclosure, the speaker was inspired by JBL's iconic 1970s designs, updated for the 21st century with the latest sound and control technologies. Immerse yourself in high-definition lifelike sound with Dolby Atmos® Music thanks to the Authentics 500's aluminum tweeters and patented SlipStream™ bass port. With Google Assistance and Amazon Alexa available simultaneously*, you can play your favorite music, control your smart home devices, and more, hands-free, using just your voice.

Superb sound and performance with Dolby Atmos® Music

270 watts of 3.1 channel sound, with virtual Dolby Atmos® create a lifelike musical experience that makes you feel like you're hearing your music live-right from the front row. Three 2.5mm tweeters and three 2.75" midrange woofers provide so much clarity that every detail of your favorite song sounds brand new, while a 6.5" down firing subwoofer and the patented SlipStream™ bass port extend the low end to a new level of bass that you can feel. Dolby Atmos® Music content is available from compatible streaming services in the JBL One app.

Inspired by retro design

The JBL Authentics 500 delivers the iconic style inspired by classic JBL heritage designs, for a look that complements any room, easily filling even the largest space with superior JBL sound. And the speaker's premium aluminum frame, custom leather-like enclosure, and reimagined Quadrex grille really show the attention we paid to each visual detail, right down to the special JBL signature pattern surrounding the downfiring woofer.

Music streaming services via built-in Wi-Fi

Experience everything from podcasts to internet radio in stunning high definition. Or stream music through AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), Chromecast built-in™, and Spotify Connect and leave the room or take a call without the music being interrupted. The Wi-Fi connection ensures your speaker gets automatic software and feature updates.
