[@pawel43100]

Is this an AirPlay speaker?

[@marimalistic]

I bought the 200 because of your recommendation in the Video. Thank you for that. The original plan was to buy the 300 but I don’t need the mobility and the Sound of the 200 is fantastic for the price. I‘m just happy.

[@emalior5000]

The 200 and 300 don't have air ports because a passive radiator acts as the port. Passive radiators need to be used in a sealed enclosure. Passive radiators and ports achieve the same thing, they increase the output at its tuned frequency.

[@TrevorDodd-ev1sx]

I bought the JBL Authentic 300 today. The AirPlay set up and linking to Tidal was seamless and took a few minutes as did the firmware update. I nearly bought the Beloit 20, but after having bad luck with B&O in the past (headphones stopped working and then returned still not working and an A5 not charging) I opted for the JBL. After a few hours listening this evening I am very happy with it. The ability to use AirPlay and connect them as a stereo pair make them a fairly decent set up without breaking the bank.

[@emalior5000]

I bought the authenic 200 yesterday and I was hoping you could help me. Does your volume knob spin freely and smoothly a full 360 degrees? My knob has parts that are stiff and harder to turn then it's suddenly smooth and little to no resistance, then it stiffens again. I don't know if this is a defect and I should return it or its meant to be some kind of feature? Thank you

[@TrevorDodd-ev1sx]

@@emalior5000 the volume control knob spins freely, but I normally control the volume within the JBL One app. I will have a check when I get home later today and check again.

[@emalior5000]

​@@TrevorDodd-ev1sx thanks for your reply. On closer inspection of the volume knob I noticed the outer ring is catching on the centre play button and plastic shavings are coming off. Either the play button is not centred perfectly or it's out of round. It does seem to be getting better as more of the plastic wears off. When I first used it it was jamming. At least I know it's not anything serious and won't bother exchanging it. Thanks again 👍

[@letraderencarton]

Hi, when you have two, it play like real stereo ? I belivied that it play exactly the same thing and not do a real left / right.

[@TrevorDodd-ev1sx]

@@letraderencarton One of the major benefits of this speaker is that the app allows you to create a stereo pair. They play in real stereo.

[@midnightbass6596]

The A200 actually does have a woofer in the front the thing on the bottom is a passive radiator to have more open sealed sound in a way

[@TheAscendedTechNinja]

Any chance of you checking out the Harman Kardon Go Plus Play 3?

[@goodboid]

Love your reviews, a small correction though. That driver at the bottom is not a woofer, it's a passive radiator. It replaces a bass port, no magnets or electronics involved with that driver, and it doesn't generate any sound

[@kennethward4985]

That is a passive radiator on the bottom, the actual driver is 5" round.

thank you for this review! does this (or the Authentics 300) have any noticable latency when plugged in via the aux/audio-in port? I.e. could you plug a physically plug a guitar, or DJ setup into it and perform, without DSP latency ?

The tribut stormbox blast is 90 Watts. Is it louder than that?

[@gramblor1]

Listening on my iLoud MTM's, using the Spotify version of "Happier Without You" as a reference, the JBL speakers sound the most authentic to the source material.

[@imperatrice_85]

Is it possible to connect the Speaker to Home LAN, add this speaker as a normal speaker on the PC and the Sound that is being played on the Computer plays on the Speaker over LAN? :) (Looking for a portable Solution for playing Beat Saber and Bluetooth has too much Delay)

[@JustJoshing77]

I love this thing because it connects to my audio Technica turntable. Great sound and a space saver since I don’t need two speakers.

[@billdepalma161]

Nice review JBL should have given a choice of fabric orange and blue like their classic home speakers.

[@wachititos]

[@lawrencediggs7957]

It is NOT worth it. The WiFi, according to the JBL tech I just got off the phone with, apparently only works with streaming services, not with your own files. You can not, for example, play your own files from your own device using the wifi on your computer as a hub.

[@DannyPops]

@lawrencediggs7957 that seems silly, you'd think there'd be some way.

[@lawrencediggs7957]

@@DannyPops That's what I thought. But I quizzed him with various scenarios and use cases... he said no, it can't be used for that. I even mentioned that the thing is a brick if stuck to streaming services. He said sorry, and stuck to his story. If not true, the JBL might want do a video showing it being used with an iPad or phone etc., or at least train their techs on what their products can do. For much less money, there are much better solutions, e.g. wifi receivers for any powered speakers.

To my 76 year old ears with some high end loss, the 200 wins the sound comparison hands down. The Klipsch wasn’t even close. Your assessment is very subjective on features. I’ll keep using my Bose Mini, thank you.

I had already bought the 200 and glad your review seemed to back that choice up ; ) Really do not want a handle or battery. I wish my HK Onyx did not have a battery! Having to plug a battery speaker in to get the bass is damn annoying.

[@thel1195]

What I heard in my headphones. The 300 had the most bass of the 4, it was almost too prominent. The Marshall had the least bass, but the most mid range. The Klipsch was really balanced however did not have the punchy bass of the 200. For jazz and classical styles, I would choose the Klipsch. For more pop styles, The 200. Hop hop, dance and the like, the 300.

[@ruleman1234]

Hi Danny, The button of the Jbl Authentics is a passive radiator. The real subwoofer is in front of the speaker.

[@JonasWeather]

The bottom?

[@TheAscendedTechNinja]

Actually, that is just a woffer in the front with 2 tweeters and a bottom firing passive radiator

[@emalior5000]

The authentics 500 has a powered 6.5 subwoofer. The 200 and 300 seem to have almost identical specifications same size tweeters, 5 vs 5.25 woofer, same size passive radiator and 90w vs 100w max power. It's not surprising he says they both sound very similar. The 300 probably plays down low better due to the larger enclosure and it has a battery but otherwise it seems like the 200 or the 500 is the one to buy unless you need to use the battery

[@yelg5790]

It looks like these two JBLs are good for pop music but if compare them for rock I think Marshall would beat them.

[@justaviewer2023]

[@DannyPops]

I don't think you can through any apps, you could with 3.5mm but that'd be all manual set up.

[@wristopia4101]

Thats not a Woofer is it? I thought it was a passive radiator? Kind of a dumb mistake for a speaker reviewer to make I would have thought! The 'Dancing' distracted me nicely though 😉

the 200 sounds good to me but the price is really holding me back

[@moriopl6176]

Measuring in a single tone instead of a white noise is pretty stupid and deceiving. Nobody listens to a song that contains only 1 tonal sine wave, but white noise contains all the tones from 20 - 20 000 Hz range. Even if the speaker would be 10 db louder in averaged overall response it could be quieter by 10 db in one tone compared to the quieter overall speaker.

[@moriopl6176]

I gotta give you a credit for not beeing a sells person for JBL and not overselling it tho.

Terrible music choices, but nice review otherwise. In a field with Marshall's Acton or Stanmore, or Klipsch, etc, it's good to see JBL release some good stuff.
