Love your reviews as they seem like you will always be honest with your opinion
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you 😁
I just heard.. sonos play 5... woburn 3 and authentics 500... even tho sonos is old... i think its still one of the best especially considering sound ... and the price as well.. whats your take on it
Nice video Which one do you recommend, Sonos five or JBL 500? I'm looking for fidelity and powerful bass but that doesn't saturate the other frequencies.
@@victorhugochavezalvarado1897 I would personally take the JBL. The bass is stronger and it goes much louder. Although the Sonos has clearer sound
This JBL Authentics 500 looks very minimalist and exclusive look but the JBL Authentics 500 in my country Malaysia cost MYR 3699 which is the same price of the JBL Partybox 710.one of the expensive JBL speaker in my country Malaysia 🇲🇾 anyway nice review and support from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾
Would suggest go for Sonos in Malaysia. Please try out the speakers yourself, JBL is quite poor in quality actually.
Thank you for replying witch one is better for listen for all day and has better sound stage ?
I assume you mean between this and the Sonos five? In that case I would definitely choose the JBL, as I prefer the soundstage and bass. But the Sonos has slightly higher sound quality and deals with higher notes better
No I means between Jbl 500 and citation 500 if you increase the bass on citation which has better listen all day I seen other videos say citation has deeper bass better sound stage thanks for replying 🥛
@@avtardhillon5030 oh okay, you never specified 😁 in that case it’s a little different, as they are very similar. I think the JBL still wins in the bass department, but the citation had a nicer design and a wider soundstage. Depends how much you want deep bass I guess
Heard the authentic in a store the other day, the thing SLAPS. But I still love the cleanliness of the Sonos 5, which leads me to my make or break question…
I’m not sure if I missed it, but I’m looking for the Sonos feature where there’s an Aux input (for a turntable in this example) where it can rebroadcast over other airplay or castable speakers?
The Sonos 5 can do it, but is that a bonus with the Sonos ecosystem that other protocols aren’t up to?
Great review and Thanks for any info!
Which one do you like better? JBL authen 500 vs Harman Citation 500
I prefer the build of the Citation. And I like the screen on top. But the sound quality, volume and bass of the JBL is better
@@HammoTechReviewsis this an AirPlay speaker?
@@pawel43100 yes 👍
Does the JBL Authentics 500 support Tidal Connect natively for HiFi, or do you have to go through the JBL One app?
I don’t personally use Tidal so it wasn’t something I tested unfortunately. But I imagine it would be natively supported
First u plug in the ethernet cable in the speaker than connected through wifi to ur smartphone? But can my phone be connected to wifi network and to jbl speaker through wifi at the same time?
It can yes. It functions the same as all other WiFi speakers, very efficient
You did not give it a score on your website ?
Yea my bad, will be adding it soon 👌
I’ve added it now
Thanks 🎉
Do you think it is worth the money, and is it as good as the beolit 20.
Unfortunately I haven’t tried the beolit 20 yet. But I think this is a great home speaker. It outperforms its rivals for sure
@@HammoTechReviews thank you so much for your reply.
How does this one compare to the naim muso qb 2 you reviewed earlier?
It’s definitely louder with stronger bass as well. But the build quality is worse and the sound does not sound as “full”.
Does it have better bass then citation 500 ?
For sure, that downward firing subwoofer makes a big difference on this
Sonos is garbage compared to jbl authentics
I think garbage may be a bit harsh 😁
Not quite.
🤣🤣🤣 Sure
