JBL Authentics 500 Smart Home Speaker | JBLAUTH500BLKUK

The JBL Authentics 500 Smart Home Speaker is built around simple everyday listening, with the connection and playback options that matter most for how you use it.

The Authentics 500 is the largest of the three, with 270W across a 3.1-channel layout and Dolby Atmos Music, which gives a record height and width instead of flattening it into plain stereo.

Both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are on board, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cover the connection, and JBL One links it to other JBL speakers around the house.

It works well for everyday music, radio or podcasts where straightforward controls and reliable connectivity matter.
