Great sound and performance with Dolby Atmos®Music
270 watts of 3.1-channel sound with virtual Dolby Atmos creates a realistic music experience that will make you feel like you're listening to your music live - right from the front row. Three 2.5mm tweeters and three 2.75-inch mid-range woofers provide such clarity that every detail of your favorite song sounds brand new, while the 6.5-inch subwoofer and patented SlipStream™ bass port extend bass to a new level 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 iconic styling inspired by classic JBL heritage designs for a look that complements any room and easily fills even the largest space with JBL's premium sound. And the speaker's practical aluminum handle, custom leather cover and sophisticated Quadrex grille really highlight the attention we paid to every visual detail, right down to the special JBL signature pattern surrounding the passive radiator.

Music streaming services via built-in Wi-Fi connection

Or stream music via AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), Chromecast built-in™ and Spotify Connect and leave the room or make a call without interrupting the music.
