JBL Authentics 200, 300 and 500 retro-inspired speakers launched in India


JBL has launched the ‘Authentics series,’ which draws inspiration from its classic designs. This series includes three models: JBL Authentics 200, JBL Authentics 300, and JBL Authentics 500.

Inspired by the iconic JBL L100 speaker from the 70s, the design of the Authentics series combines vintage aesthetics with modern features. Featuring a premium aluminum frame, custom synthetic leather-wrapped enclosure, and a reimagined Quadrex grille, these speakers make a stylish statement.

The portable JBL Authentics 300 is a versatile smart speaker that supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It offers 360-immersive audio and comes with a built-in 8-hour battery, allowing you to enjoy music indoors and outdoors.

For a live concert experience at home, the JBL Authentics 500 delivers exceptional sound quality with Dolby Atmos technology.

With three tweeters, three midrange woofers, and a down firing subwoofer, it provides crystal clear audio and tight bass. It offers 270 Watts of 3.1 channel sound with virtual Dolby Atmos for immersive 3D audio.

The JBL Authentics 200 fills any space with stereo sound. It features a pair of tweeters, a full-range woofer, and a passive radiator for deep bass. With Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet connectivity options, you can easily stream music from various devices.

These speakers work with Amazon and Google voice assistants, so you can use both at once to control music, smart home devices, and more, hands-free. With Wi-Fi, you can stream music via AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music, Spotify Connect, and Chromecast built-in.

They also automatically optimize sound quality and come with the JBL One app for easy setup and customization. Plus, they’re eco-friendly, made from recycled materials and packaged in FSC-certified paper with soy ink.
