All About the Details

The little design touches on the JBL Authentics 200 Home Speaker go a long way. The aluminum frame, leather-like wrapping, and Quadrex grille are all evocative of the audio equipment of decades past, and the elegant retro look makes it a perfect fit in any room of your home.

But while the JBL Authentics 200 looks antique, all of its technology is state of the art. It pairs easily with any Bluetooth device to play music or other content, and it automatically calibrates to ensure the sound quality is optimal every time you turn it on. If you have more than one JBL Authentics speaker, you can use the Google Home app or the Alexa app to connect them and have them playing the same playlist. And because it connects so readily to your Bluetooth devices, the JBL Authentics 200 is also a great way to interact with Alexa and Google Assistant. The Authentics 200 also connects via Wi-Fi and Ethernet and if you want to connect via hardwiring, it also has an AUX input port.

Huge Sound

The sound is also a huge leap forward from those old cabinet speakers, with two 25mm tweeters hitting the treble crisply, and a full-range 5-inch woofer and down-firing 6-inch passive radiator giving you way more deep base than any speaker of this size should be able to. The tweeters and woofer combine to create up to 200 watts of perfectly balanced sound from this eye-catching compact speaker, which takes up just 10.48 x 6.59 x 6.76 inches of whatever surface you place it on. The Authentics 200 does require a corded AC connection for power, however.

The JBL Authentics 200 catches your eye first with its beautiful retro design, and then it gives your ears a real treat with its high-quality sound. This limited-time Amazon deal has brought the Authentics 200 down to just $200, its lowest price ever and a terrific price for a high-performing Bluetooth speaker that will become the centerpiece of any room you place it in.
