We have seen some solid offering on JBL’s gorgeous Authentics speakers across 2024, in fact they are still up to $200 off right now on Amazon. But Woot is stepping in today with a couple compelling factory refurbished deals, complete with the official JBL 1-year warranty intact. First up, you can score the flagship, top-of-the-line 500 model down at $399.95 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). That’s still quite a pricey speaker, but we are talking about a regularly $700 statement piece here that is now $300 off the MSRP and $100 under the best price we have ever tracked at Amazon all-time. This is a 270W of 3.1-channel smart speaker with AirPlay and Google Assistant/Alexa action at the lowest price we have ever seen. Hit the jump for a details and price drop on the less expensive model.
The larger JBL Authentics 500 model above delivers on all of the same standout features as the less pricey variants – cast-aluminum handle, leather-like enclosure, and Quadrex grille, alongside built-in Wi-Fi, AirPlay casting, and Alexa or Google Assistant voice control – but with a larger audio array (1-inch tweeters and three 2.75-inch woofers that can drive at 270W).
On top of the AirPlay action, they also have “Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), Chromecast built-in, and Spotify Connect for interruption-free streaming.”
If you would prefer a slightly more modest option with a more compact form-factor, Woot is also offering factory refurbished JBL Authentics 300 speakers – the mid-tier model – down at $279.95 shipped. This is a regularly $450 speaker with all of the same features as the larger model that is now on sale at $350 in new condition via Amazon. Just note, we did very quickly see this one drop to $278 earlier this spring for a couple days. It too ships with a 1-year warranty from JBL.
