Retro-Styled Assistant Speakers

The JBL Authentics Speakers Come in Three Models

— August 30, 2023 — Tech
The new JBL Authentics speakers are a lineup of audio solutions for consumers to incorporate into their collection as a way to enjoy their favorite music or content in a decidedly robust way.

The speaker range includes the JBL Authentics 200, Authentics 300 and the Authentics 500, which are priced at $329.99, $429.99 and $699.99, respectively. The speakers each feature a nostalgic styling that will call to mind the audio equipment from the 1970s, particularly the JBL L100, which is the inspiration for the grid-style pattern on the front grille.

The JBL Authentics speakers are also focused on productivity with compatibility with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice assistants. This will help users to seamlessly switch between both at leisure.
