Do you know if I can run two of these at the same time without messing up stereo separation? Trying to fill a thousand square feet building with sound.

thank you! It only cost me $700 haha.

Partybox is different level. Authentic created for luxury use or high end speaker. And chillax or calm music

Also partybox is mono, this one is stereo

​@@HAIYANEX9910 so this is kinda a awkward/ embarrassing question but the flats we live in has a bug problem.... we try to keep it under control as much as possible, but theres only so much you can do when your connected to your neighbors...how would i protect the back bass flow ports from getting anything inside? Can i use a speaker grill cloth? Or would that block too much air?

@@afrolintin if you talking about the 500, then yes, it could be a problem with dual ports. But this problem doesn't exist on low models, it uses passive radiators.

@@HAIYANEX9910 im wondering if maybe a thin speaker grill cloth would work, cause it has to let alot of air through for the sound right?

You're comparing a fly to an elephant, the tribit sounds like a phone speaker next to the jbl.

@@megakebab1702 wrong. Smaller TWS speakers placed correctly create a fuller soundstage then one speaker regardless of multi drivers. I don’t need any speaker to blast my ears out inside so many TWS speaker pairs are a better result. I’ve had over three dozen wireless speakers of various sizes with or without TWS. I’ll stick with my original comment above.

@@Heff3rd nobody talks about blasting your ears, having deep nice sound is not possible with your small tribits, get a normal sized speakers for home and you will understand...

@@Heff3rd tws is one thing, but having the capability to produce a wide range of frequencies is way more than what your tribits can do

@@megakebab1702 you don’t know what I have, but I will say half of my collection large and small destroy JBL. I’ve never kept any JBL speaker for more than a week before returning them. Be a JBL fanboy. They need your $; surely not mine

Is it? Dang it... when I follow the prompts through the app, it led me to a search that didn't yield any results... this is why i hate WIFI. Thanks for the watch Alan!

Extremely. Best speaker ive ever been around this size

You might be able to rig a 3.5 mm splitter cable to get stereo sound!

I received the HK Go+Play 3 yesterday, along with the Marshall Acton 3. I wanted to try the HK to compare them, and here's what I found. If you enjoy and understand Marshall's sound signature, then the HK Go+Play 3 might not be for you. While it doesn't sound bad, it has a warm and 'unrealistically fun' sound profile. However, its soundstage is wider and airier compared to the Marshall. The Marshall's bass and mids are more "mature" and accurate in comparison. Based on this comparison, I've decided to pack up the HK Go+Play 3 and send it back.

Thanks

Yeah I get white noise on mine at low volume

@RayZXA Cute, but you can not achieve proper stereo separation in a single box. It wasn't the case with boomboxes of the 80s, and it still isn't the case because... physics.

Yep. It is truly like that.

Do you get Dolby Atmos from Tidal when using the speaker with the JBL One app only?

Yeah. All of them have it.

500 doesn't sound as stereo. The stage is even worse, than in Boombox

You won't get the same bass thud from the 200s in a home wifi multiroom set up, but I'm sure it would sound good. It's probably only Mono set up with dual speakers. Thanks for the comment! Yeah its a pricey boy.

@@DannyPops thank you, I think to wait for a price offer on the 500 and go with it. Nice job !

I totally disagree it is definitely not worth $700 the only reason they can get away with that asking price is because of lack of competition in this segment an Dolby Atmos don't even work with KZfaq music subscription so you have a powerful speaker with SD music something like a really powerful TV without HD or 4K video. Until compatibility issues get resolved I recommend Marshall Woburn two speakers you'll save a couple hundred bucks.

​@@richardcerritelli9657 yes but Wooburn is just bluetooth, no wifi (sound quality is a lot better in wifi) less powerfull, 1 year guaranted etc ... yes the Jbl is over priced, but if we are objective, the wooburn is a lot of more ...

The boombox wifi is $50 lower priced than the 500, so not sure what money you’re saving.

@@mattgericke4537 boombox 3 WiFi last November-December was in $350

Even one BB3 WiFi sounds better

Just got the JBL and I totally agree. Bass is good but sounds way to harsh. Had to really adjust the EQ to get it to sound half way decent. I have multiple Marshall speakers including the original Woburn and I like the sound of the woburn way better. I think the JBL is getting return.

Thank you for responding. I tried to get input from a few reviews with no luck. I really did want it to be awesome

No, You're right. But even bass isn't that great for me in 500. I don't know why there's so much hype around it, and why is it so expensive

Sonos

Boombox 3 WiFi

​@@8000860 How much they are paying you?

No, this video is something wrong. 500 sounding here like Splashed muffled shiit. I have no idea why. I am using akg k550 headphones. Lets check this link here. You will be suprised about jbl 500

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpulntyJmr6RpHk.htmlsi=66XLgnbSGy2K_xMQ

Authentics for bass definitely.

Just received my Authentics 500, and the bass is fantastic. If you like house, hip hop or reggaeton, you will be in heaven. I'm just upset I can't really see what it can do because I live in a condo and my neighbors will be UPSET. If you're on the fence, I would definitely recommend. It's my favorite speaker. I have the Marshall Acton III (great for the bedroom), Bose 301 series 5, a Klipsch computer set (also great), and a mini Polk soundbar. I need to stop buying speakers because my living room is speaker city. 😂

Same question. Authentic 500 disappointed me

@@8000860I bye the zeppelin: its awesome ❤

​@@8000860Nobody asked, man. No need to post 8000 comments.

The bass in Boombox 3 is a bit better, than on Authentic 500 (surprisingly). Bass on 310 is much better, than on both BB3 and 500. But 310 lacks highs, and is pretty poor on mids. Overall, BB3, sounds most balanced for me among 3. But, bass is definitely strongest on 310

@@8000860 Huh? Flossy Carter says JBL Authentics 500 is a monster. Huh? How do you get different out come? But also he does not say in details. How deep they go in Hertz and more. That is annoying side of his. And also JBL Boombox 3 WiFi is better. Much better bass tuning. Alan Ross Reviews made a video JBL Boombox 3 WiFi vs JBL Boombox 3. And likes the bass more on JBL Boombox 3 WiFi. Better tuning.

And i have JBL Partybox 310, but it is too much in my house. I need a good home speaker with good deep bass and sound. And i have nothing.

Too much. Too loud.

@@bass_freak Yep, 310 is pretty poor in terms of sound quality. I'm looking for a nice simple home speaker as well. JBL disappointed me with that. Looking at the Citation 500 currently, or something similar.

Might aswell go the 200 and save money and space. It basically has the same size and amount of drivers. 90w vs 100 max power. The only real difference is the battery, the handle and the larger enclosure which probably allows it to play down lower in the sub bass.

If they priced it like that - it would make too much sense lol. I agree and would also say they'd be best buys then.

I think the 300 is the worst in terms of value. It shares the exact same driver size and number as the 200 and almost the exact same amplifer power of 90w vs 100w. What you are paying for Is the battery, handle and larger enclosure which might allow it to extend deeper into the sub bass region. The 300 should have had more amplifier power instead of the battery in my opinion

I will admit I've never actually owned a record player so I'm still learning on that front for connections. I did use chromecast over youtube, it works fine! I didn't test the auto sense but i don't believe it's the same issue like the Woburns where they auto off with no way to adjust that. Since it's wifi it should turn on if in a sleep state. For BT I didn't test the sleep option... valid question.

@@DannyPops I have their older Authentics, the L8. Phenomenal sounding. But with no remote, you have to manually go and adjust it. Volume doesn't retain when turned back on, so you have to manually adjust that. JBL is annoying to deal with for service info. The android app doesn't work. Not even in the store. And sideloaded, it doesn't work. So their $600 speaker from 2015 or so is an unsupported relic. My one issue with these overpriced speakers and why I tend to favor separate 2.1ch amps and passive speakers. Speakers like this should auto power on and autosense inputs so no intervention is required for them. They should just work. Apps, remotes should be bonus. And digital amps have such a low power draw when not in use. Maybe a dollar's worth of electricity a year. To me it seems like common sense to do this. I don't know why it's not standard in all these speakers, amps, amp boards (for DIY) and so on. Especially with wifi and casting or sending from a phone. Should be basic. Thanks for the reply.

Oh wow! They aren't going to have the jbl 500 bass, but I'd imagine 2x200s would be sweet but awkward. I'd imagine the room aesthetics would play into your choice. Personally, id just get the 500 because I like it a lot.

@@DannyPops Update. I went with the 2 500's and I do not regret the decision. We have a ranch house with an open concept so 2 of these fill the house which is exactly what we were hoping for. I am really pleased and I definitely would recommend getting a pair of Authentics no matter which series.

@kylestrawser2501 oh wow! That's such a power combo there! Thanks for sharing your journey here for others to learn from. :)

You mean muddy? Too strong bass? Overpowering?

You can find my comments if you go "new first." New comments first. Find my comments there.

@musicisbest. You can find me. Please. You know what.

​@@bass_freak You are a very strange person.

@@Luiz.Campos ok. 🤔

I have 2 Sonos era 300, and have run Apple Music Dolby and special audio in stereo mode. They sound good, but I feel they are both missing the sound signiture I like. Sonos they focus on nailing the highs and just throwing in base for good measure and it doesn’t feel cohesive. Where as one 500 playing Dolby atmos tracks from Amazon music sounds amazing. Rich, fluid, highs get high when they should and lows get low. Feels like I’m at a concert instead of sitting in front of a speaker. Plus the Sonos app is the bane of my existence!!

@@mattgericke4537 Well I bought all with intention of returning the losers. Denon 350 - great but didn't compare to Era & JBL JBL 500 - Extremely great sounding as you know. Although I think reverts to traditional bass - very thumpy. ERA 300 - on its own - best wide open sounding - with it's 6 drivers vs JBL 2. And it does Doobly ATMOS music far better with wide soundscape. Pretty hard to to ATMOS woith only 2 speakers. Although the 300 cant match JBL bass. ERA 300 with SONOS Sub - best music jukebox you can have. With Sub it goes deeper then the JBL. And its PURE bass, not the artificial thumpy bass of the JBL. And the SUb opens up the 300 to do what it does bets, the higher frequencies. 2 ERA 300s with SUB - Probably the best sound system one can build. Just incredible. You want to park your chair in between and just soak it all in. The wide sound & ATMOS is amazing. 1 JBL just can't match 2 separate speakers. The JBL doesn't allow connecting 2 together.

Thanks for watching! Please continue the low quality ASMR work.

It's a soundbox. What do you want? A flavor test?

That's odd! I didn't have any connection issues over BT or wifi.

@DannyPops I thought it was my bluetooth connection so I tried a different speaker. The 500 is the only one that cuts out like it's losing the signal.

I don’t have any issues. It must be interfering with something

Try to use it with the network port to see if it some kind of interference with the wifi signal.

Works perfectly for me.

Lol

It's worth every penny! I don't think its particularly expensive.

​@@CDPA7 Ok, Richie Rich.

Ever heard about something called "taste"?

No.

Ok, boomer.

I don't have this speaker, but right now I am building a speaker that goes down to 35 hz and it's very happy at 40. Listening through my speaker I can tell you that JBL is very happy at that frequency. You don't really need anything lower than 35 hz for music especially if you put it in the corner of the room and get boundary room gain. Since my speaker is relatively flat frequency respeonse and doesn't color the sound that much, I can tell you that JBL has also very flat uncolored sound

@@valuerc2664 I have music that has 32 Hz - 30 Hz music. What are you talking about???

​@@valuerc2664so authentics 500 has flat and uncolored sound? I want to know, coz i almost ordered this speaker. I am musician and i am was thinking about marshall woburn 1, ver (used) or woburn multi - room. Both are not selling yet
