(This video was made with support from Samsung Electronics) Hello, sound master HA:D came back after a while!
Today, I'm going to introduce a high-performance speaker that surprised me while using it
It's Christmas soon
It’s a great pick for a Christmas gift to yourself
or a thoughtful present for someone special
It's JBL Authentics 300
To put it simply
this speaker delivers impressive output
allowing for a deep and rich music experience
It’s especially satisfying when listening to music with strong beats
JBL is already a popular brand
but let me dive into what makes the Authentics 300
stand out based on my experience!
Let's look at the design first
My first impression of the Authentics 300 was that
Its design goes beyond just looking premium, it felt truly stylish and well-thought-out
It originally came out in black
but a white version was released around November
In person, you’ll notice a nice blend of white, gold, and gray tones
So it looks much more sensual
and it's enough to use as an interior object
You can choose black and white to match the interior mood
Pairing both colors together can really elevate your interior style
But isn't there something that stands out from here?
Look at the front
It has a JBL's signature waffle pattern
It's a design that makes use of JBL's own identity well
It looks classic and hip
The premium aluminum frame
combined with the leather-textured grille fabric
adds a touch of luxury to the overall design
Its design clearly stands out from typical speakers
making it both stylish and versatile enough to blend well into any space
It feels like this instantly elevates the entire space, adding a touch of elegance and style
Weighing 4.9kg, it’s not exactly a lightweight speaker
but the built-in handle makes it easy to carry around without any hassle
Let's take a look at the performance
With a maximum output of 100W, it boasts quite an impressive power spec for a speaker
Most speakers offer around 60W output
and hitting 80W is considered pretty solid
But the Authentics 300 delivers 100W, which is definitely a top-tier spec
While primarily used via Bluetooth
its built-in Wi-Fi takes things up a notch
You can access podcasts, radio, and streaming services for an even better audio experience
The difference is that with Bluetooth pairing
your device sends music to the speaker for playback
However, using the built-in Wi-Fi connects directly to the internet
reducing audio loss and enabling higher-quality sound streaming!
(Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both available!) You can use both of these in the Authentication 300
and it comes with built-in AirPlay, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect
making music streaming available
You can adjust all the detailed settings one by one using the dedicated app
It features a 25mm high-tone tweeter
A 133mm full-range woofer covering all frequencies
and a 165mm down-firing passive radiator that amplifies the sound downward
creating a powerful and immersive audio experience
This setup allows for richer, more detailed music playback
With dual stereo sound, you can enjoy a much more immersive and spacious listening experience
Let me briefly compare the sound quality between the Authentics 200 and 300
that I brought with me
The Authentics 200 delivers a crisp and clear sound despite its compact size
while the Authentics 300 excels in blending vocals with background sounds
offering a well-balanced audio experience
Let's listen to Authentication 200 first

Let’s listen to the Authentics 300
which handled various music genres remarkably well
(The recorded sound may differ from the actual audio experience)
How is it?
Since you’re hearing it through a recording, the live experience might be different
But even if you’re not an audio expert
you’ll instantly notice how good it sounds
And there's a passive radiator
so you can feel the vibration when you play it
I love how it makes the music feel more lively
but adding a dedicated stand could be a great option for those who are particular about setup
The battery capacity is 4,800mAh
With a full charge of about 3.5 hours, it can last up to 8 hours of continuous use
It also offers a range of convenient, user-friendly features that fit well into everyday life
First off, you can set up a multi-room system, creating your own JBL sound universe
With the Google Home app, you can connect and control multiple speakers
Personally, using the Authentics lineup
would add a stylish touch to your interior
That’s why I highly recommend setting up
multi-room speakers if possible
Having the same audio play across multiple speakers creates
a much richer and more dynamic sound experience throughout your space
And there's also one interesting feature
This feature is especially great for those unfamiliar with audio equipment
Automatic self-tuning
Speaker settings and sound quality can vary depending on where and how they’re placed
So, it needs to be touched in detail
It can be difficult for people who don't know well
This process can be done automatically and easily
When you turn it on, it automatically searches where the speaker is
and tunes the sound to optimize it
It'll take about 3 minutes
It’s great because anyone can easily set it up without any complicated steps
Let me play the tuned sound for you!
(Authentics 300 - Auto Self-Tuning ver Self-tuning is enabled(The recorded sound may differ from the actual audio experience))
You can really hear the difference when you listen to it yourself
I loved how easy it was to set up
I also brought a few more products
to make your year-end even better with music
Let me show you one by one
While the Authentics 300 I introduced today is amazing..!
If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly or suitable for daily use
Who feel a bit overwhelmed or want it to be more daily.
It's the newly released white Authentic 200
It's stereo sound
It also has built-in Wi-Fi, so you can listen to it in high quality
The price range is also reasonable
It’s a great secondary speaker for building a multi-room setup
If you’re after something premium-looking and more portable
I recommend the Authentics 200
And at this time of year, people wear headsets a lot
That’s why I brought the AKG N9 Hybrid
I thought this would make a perfect gift for the holiday season and New Year celebrations
After trying it out, I experienced no pairing issues
and the sound quality and call clarity were excellent
(Recommended for travel lovers) With up to 100 hours of battery life
It's perfect for long overseas trips during the holiday season
Plus, it even comes with a built-in dongle
It turned out to be way more useful than I expected
I’ve lost it a few times before because it’s hard to keep track of
but with this built-in storage, you can safely keep it in place
That’s why it seems like a great gift for students who listen to online lectures frequently
I’d also recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance headset at a reasonable price
Lastly, for those new to audio
who just can’t decide what to pick!
I highly recommend this speaker
Harman Kardon LUNA
You can use it on a daily basis
It’s budget-friendly, making it a great choice for those planning to use it in their room
or looking for something portable
I’ve just introduced the JBL Authentics 300
which is thoroughly impressive in both performance and design
What do you think?
JBL has a wide range of products, making finding the perfect fit for any occasion easy
They’re great companions for the holiday season, so check them out
The Authentics 300 I introduced today
is perfect for upcoming Christmas celebrations or year-end home parties
