  • Sounds good and my wife likes the way it looks!
Style: Authentics 200 Color: Black/Gold
Not cheap, but a great sounding speaker for the size. Of course, you're not going to get a stereo image out of a single speaker, but it sounds good for what it is. We have it on the counter in our kitchen, and I use it while cooking and eating. More than powerful enough to be heard over the super loud downdraft exhaust fan on our stove when cooking. I'm a recording/mixing/mastering engineer, so I'm picky about sound. Sure, this is not as good sounding as my studio monitors, but it serves its purpose and is much less expensive and smaller than my studio monitors. I'm using primarily Amazon Music which it has built-in support for (among several other services), and there are no issues with that for the most part. Once in a while I have to login again to my Amazon account. Or, on rare occasions, this speaker gets disconnected from the network, but is easily fixed by simply unplugging and plugging in again. It does have a wired ethernet connection if you want a more reliable network connection, but I didn't have an ethernet port nearby and the wifi signal where the speaker is located is not great. The main reason I got this type of speaker is that it streams directly from the services via WiFi, as opposed to a cheaper Bluetooth only speaker that would use the lower quality Bluetooth audio format. So, with Amazon Music HD, you can get at least CD quality, lossless audio, which is important to me. You can set it up for Alexa to use voice commands to start streaming from Amazon music, or you can use the Amazon Music App on your phone to connect to the speaker and stream in HD (as opposed to Bluetooth), as the speaker will still do the streaming itself and the phone is just the interface. The JBL One app is nice for setting this up and for control volume and such, but it misses out on some features of the Amazon music app, such as the ability to shuffle a playlist. ... show more

  • Best, home assistant speaker.
Style: Authentics 200 Color: Black/Gold
I purchased my first home assistant speaker about 8 years ago and I've owned a few since then. This speaker is by far the best home speaker I have ever owned. The sound quality is wonderful. I'm so happy that it has both Google assistant and Alexa built into it. I think more manufacturers of home speakers should do the same. I like the retro styling and the build quality of the speaker is excellent. The only downside I can think of is the price point. I think it's kind of an expensive speaker but you do get a lot for what you pay for in this speaker. I'm glad that there's an Ethernet port because ethernet is faster than Wi-Fi. It also has a USB type-c port for connecting MP3 players. This speaker also comes with all the cables needed, like a USB type-c to USB type-c cable and a 3.5 cable. It also comes with a ethernet cable. For clarification, the JBL authentics 200 is a 90 w speaker. I know Amazon indicates that it's a 200 w speaker but this is not correct. The JBL authentics 300 is a 100 w speaker and the JBL authentics 500 is a 270 w speaker. ... show more

  • Incredible sound
Style: Authentics 200 Color: Black/Gold
This speaker is amazing. Set up and quality are outstanding. Two setup in stereo is even better. Price is steep but I got both of mine at $199. I have it connected to Amazon Music, Pandora, and music on my NAS. No issues yet.

  • I compared the 200 and 300...
Style: Authentics 200 Color: Black/Gold
I needed a high-quality speaker with WiFi and did a lot of research online before purchasing the Authentics 300. But I was disappointed. I listen to a wide variety of music and found the treble and midrange of the 300 had an unpleasant edge for classical and jazz, although it worked well with rock, pop and electronic music. I then did a deep dive with comparison videos between the 200 and 300, and it seemed the 200 was a bit better balanced so I purchased that to compare. Well, in fact, the 200 IS better balanced. While there's slightly less bass, it's a really pleasant and more natural-sounding speaker to listen to for a wide range of genres. The treble and midrange are on the warm side but a slight EQ adjustment in the app fixed that. Additionally, I didn't plan on moving it around, so the battery and handle of the 300 were unnecessary. (I thought about trying the 500, but I didn't want to take up that much space on my kitchen counter.) I'm really very happy with the 200. Sure, I wish the volume/treble/bass controls were a little more standard, but that's not a big deal. Having WiFi makes a huge difference for me, so I can happily recommend the 200, especially for those whose tastes lean more to acoustic music. ... show more

  • JBL Authentics 200 with WiFi issue
Style: Authentics 200 Color: Black/Gold
It's a great speaker and sounds wonderful. For me, the WiFi did not work and I had to to send the unit back. The technician at JBL mentioned that the moment button may have been the problem. Hopefully the new unit will work as expected. If so, I would give it 5 stars.
