Top sound and design

Both WiFi and Bluetooth
sound
Bass at the bottom

All in all, we are very satisfied with the JBL Authentic 300. The speaker has a beautiful design and the sound quality is excellent. The device also has everything you need in terms of connection options. You can connect devices via jack and USB, but you also have the option to connect via Bluetooth and WiFi (including Google and Alexa Assistant). The device has a built-in battery and handle, which should make it easy to carry and move. Personally, I don't think this device is that successful. For the first time, the device is quite heavy and the handle is not very ergonomic. In addition, you must always pay attention to where you place the device. The woofer is located at the bottom (protected by the slightly higher legs), but you still have to pay attention.

retro design
sound
battery does not last long

The first thing I notice when I take it out of the packaging is the luxurious appearance. The beautiful retro look with leather handle makes it pleasant to take with you or to place in a prominent place in the living room. Especially when you visit, it is a real attention grabber and at first glance you do not expect what kind of sound it produces. Clear and full sound, not flat or shrill, with a good dose of bass. You have 3 knobs for volume, bass and treble. You can simply connect the smart speaker to the power or take it with you because it has a built-in battery. I must mention that the battery life is disappointing, but you can't have everything and that is generally not a problem. You can quickly connect the speaker to the app and play your favorite streaming services on it.

Awesome in sound and design

Sublime sound quality
Beautiful design

When you open the box you immediately notice that this speaker has been packed with great care. And I understand that when I see the speaker! Because what a cool appearance this speaker has. A beautiful retro look with brown leather look and gold-yellow metal accents and handle. This handle is not an unnecessary luxury because the speaker is quite large and fairly heavy (5 kg). Operating the speaker is very simple. Three rotary knobs to adjust the volume, treble and bass and three push buttons (on/off, Bluetooth connect and like). The sound that this speaker produces is also of high quality. Nice deep bass and clear tones. You can connect the speaker to the mains or use the battery. I use the battery and it lasts quite a long time (several hours). This speaker is also integrated with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa so that you can also operate the speaker with your voice. The only downside I think is that it can take a while before the speaker starts up.
