love
I love JBL and had one of the smaller speakers that recently died after 13 years! - I really love the look of this speaker and the sound is amazing. i gave it 4 stars simply because the battery does die quickly.

Great hardware, app is the worst.
Great software, but the app is abysmal. Android app cannot pair speakers, or set up smart assistant. Had to use old apk of software to make it work. Tried on 3 different phones. Support are aware of the bug but JBL clearly do not care about QC.
Also chrome cast doesnt work.

clean
i think its great and clear and clean soudning i like the slightly rough bass although its not as gnarly as my old jongo which ended up vibrating itself off the shelf and crashing and splitting in half on the floor

Looks Amazing! Sounds Amazing!
I fell in love with my JBL Authentics 300 the moment I laid eyes on it! The retro design is absolutely stunning, and the build quality is top-notch. But what really gets me is the sound - it's rich, clear, and immersive. I've streamed music from my phone, laptop, and even used voice assistants to control it, and it's always a breeze. The JBL One app makes it easy to tweak settings and get the sound just right. My only minor gripe is that the battery life could be better, but honestly, I've been using it mostly indoors so it's not a deal-breaker for me. Overall, I'm so glad I invested in the Authentics 300 - it's become my go-to speaker for relaxing at home, and I couldn't be happier!

The device has amazing clarity, truly beautiful to listen to and bass beyond belief, one Dave and Ansil Collins track is drum & bass ... WOW! The Authentics 300 is a must have device.
