This JBL Authentics 500 is one seriously smart speaker. And not just because it has WiFi and built-in voice assistants that'll play straight from Spotify and bucket loads more streaming apps as soon you give the order. What really set this apart is the clever audio. Its automatic self-tuning dials in the sound to perfectly match the acoustics of your room. And Dolby Atmos 3D adds an epic 3-dimensional effect to your tunes - it'll be like you're in right in the middle of a concert. Take all that and add 3 tweeters, 3 midrange drivers and one massive 6.5 subwoofer and you're in for a serious treat. Crisp highs, rich mids and booming bass.

Good to know

- With Chromecast, AirPlay and Amazon Multi-Room Music you can sync smart speakers in different rooms – handy for house parties
- The 270 W output is seriously powerful, but the 3.1 channels prevent distortion or loss of clarity
- Bluetooth multipoint lets you pair multiple devices and the speaker automatically changes the source
- Control it with your voice, your fingers or use the JBL One app where you can change EQ settings and way more
- Its premium aluminum frame and leather-like body make it a pitch-perfect fit in any room
- Behind that retro styling are renewable materials - 100% recycled fabric, 85% recycled plastic and 50% aluminium
