Iconic Retro looks with current technology!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker blows me away, the sound is so full and rich with detail. Even though it is small in size and portable, it will fill your space with sound. The retro styling takes me back to the JBLs I had in high school. It was pretty easy to set up with the JBL One app, I did have to try several times to set up my Alexa account, but the Google Assistant went through on first try. Absolutely love the portable nature and long life battery. We take it out to the back yard for a fall-time fire or in the kitchen, matches our backsplash perfectly. The materials JBL used for construction feel and have the look of high quality. This is becoming my favorite speaker in the house.

Amazing Speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is perfect for small gatherings or just chilling in your living room. I really enjoy how it has warm audio while the bass is PRESENT. I also love how they put the sub on the bottom of the speaker. It shakes the floor in my apartment and I love it.
I also love how it connects to my smart home set up. I get to pair it with my other speakers around the house via WIFI. Really sets the mood when ever I host small get togethers.
The build quality does feel rugged(I won't be putting it to the test). Really nice design all around. They did something with the 300. Bravo!

Wow!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Authentics 300 suprised me with its high-quality audio, exceeding my expectations with rich and deep immersive sound. Its premium material and design really impressed me. This speaker added convenience with its portability, style with its sleek design, and comfort through user-friendly controls.
This device is ideal for music enthusiasts like me, who have something playing no matter where you are. It worked great in the kitchen while cooking dinner and outside by the fire pit on a cold night. Also worth mentioning sis the impressive battery life, compatibility with various devices, and easy setup.

My new everywhere speaker. Living room to backyard
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a jbl flip and clip and those are nice for a single room of sound. This authentics 300 fills the entire house with great clear sound. We take it outside and we can clearly hear quality music through the entire backyard. Even my neighbors can hear it. This quickly replaced my heavy rock-block. It easily connects to my Amazon music over WiFi or just Bluetooth to my phone. Both sound great. The bass and treble controls allow me to adjust to my taste. Not to mention this speaker looks great covered in leather like material. It’s easy to carry around. Not too heavy either.

Great sound quality and great look
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Authentic 300
Bass at the bottom !!!
Speaker needs to be placed on hard surface and the back of speaker be close to a wall for a much better speaker bass sound quality. I hear voice treble and deep voice bass. Its volume and treble is limited to its size.I love the quality of sound and equalization usage.
Now let’s step away from Bluetooth for a bit we got better tech with this device we have WiFi connection. So the notification or occasional browsing background noise doesn’t play over speaker. This feature should be intergrated on all JBL products plus the voice commands are great features as well.

Looks and sounds amazing
The sound quality on this speaker is fantastic. Rich, full, and well balanced across bass, mids and treble. A clear step above JBL's portable range. The retro design with the Quadrex grille looks great too. It's the kind of speaker you actually want on display rather than hidden away.
The built-in Google Assistant and Alexa work well, and having WiFi streaming alongside Bluetooth and AirPlay means it plays nicely with everything.
Two minor gripes. First, it's marketed as portable but it's bulkier and heavier than you'd expect. The battery and handle are handy for moving it room to room, but you wouldn't want to lug it much further than that. Second, the figure-8 power cable feels dated when everything else has moved to USB-C. Neither are dealbreakers, but worth knowing.
Overall, really happy with this purchase.

Fill your space with impressive sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great speaker with both impressive sound and build quality. Pairing with my phone was a breeze. The bass is fantastic and the treble keep the songs sounding crisp. The sound easily fills the room and brings the party to life. From cooking weeknight dinners to hosting game nights this speaker is a hit. The convenient carry handle makes it easy to bring the music anywhere I go. The bass and treble settings make it easy to customize my listening experience depending on the artist or mood I am in. Black and gold is my favorite color combination making this speaker an instant yes!

Great sound provided in small to mid size room
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sweet sound but it's not linkable. The JBL Extreme portables are a better option of you are looking to build more of a surround sound. The Authentic 300 has amazing bass and clean crisp mids and highs. It is easily a winner when it comes to sound quality and I even like the funky retro look. My only ding is for not having the ability to link 2 together but aside from that, this will definetly fit the bill on sound quantity. I also give high marks for the Bluetooth linkability. It seems to be much more seamless in connection or granting others permission to play from their devices.

Can i pair this with another JBL Authentics 300 speaker?
Thanks for your question. Yes, you can pair two JBL Authentics 300 for stereo sound. To set up stereo pairing, you'll need to use the JBL One app. Ensure both speakers have the latest firmware to access this feature.
Date published: 2025-11-18
With the battery recharge via the USB-C connection?
Thank you for your question! The Authentics 300 can only be charged using the included two-prong figure-eight power cord. This is necessary because the speaker requires a power supply of 100-240V AC. Additionally, the USB port is designed exclusively for connecting a USB storage device to enable MP3 file playback and is available in US version. For other versions, USB is for Service only.

Is it okay to leave this speaker constantly plugged into mains with power on? Will it damage battery? Currently plugged into shared outlet with tv box that is always powered on.
Thank you for your question.
Leaving the speaker connected to the charger shouldn't pose any risk of damaging the battery, as there are circuits built into the speaker to protect during this type of use.
For further support, we welcome you to contact our JBL Customer Support team: https://support.jbl.com/gb/en/
Thank you.

Will using it plugged in harm the battery?
Thanks for your question. There is no harm in using the JBL Authentics 300 while it's charging. The battery will not overcharge since our products have PCM circuits that manage the charging of the battery. However, it may take additional time to get a full battery if used while plugged in.

Dies the model 300 provide proper STEREO sound?
You say that the model 300 produces stereo sound, but I noticed this capability is not stated in the 'general specifications' list like it is for the model 200. You may want to update the general specifications list for this model to reflect that it also has that capability if indeed it does to eliminate further questions and confusion. Please confirm. Also, I see what appears to be conflicting answers here regarding using two units for separate left and right channels. In the answer to my question, you say "On the other hand, if you have two units that you'd like to set in Stereo mode you can use either Airplay, Chromecast, or Alexa MRM in order to do so.' However in the question below mine asking about doing this, you said "Our JBL Authentics 300 cannot be paired with a similar speaker model and produce stereo sound." So which is it? Is it possible or not?
