JBL Authentics 500 review: Big sound from a bygone age

Retro design with Dolby Atmos music performance. Fill any room with superior sound and striking retro style with the JBL Authentics 500. From its Quadrex grille to its custom leather-like enclosure, the speaker was inspired by JBL’s iconic 1970s designs, updated for the 21st century with the latest sound and control technologies. Immerse yourself in high-definition lifelike sound with Dolby Atmos Music thanks to the Authentics 500’s aluminum tweeters and patented SlipStream bass port.
