Blending Classic Aesthetics with Cutting-Edge Sound Engineering

JBL has officially launched the Authentics 200 Platinum Edition in China, a premium wireless speaker that masterfully fuses vintage-inspired design with state-of-the-art audio technology.

Available now for ($276), the Platinum Edition introduces a striking new colorway, elevating its sophisticated, retro-modern appeal. Whether placed on a bookshelf, bedside table, or office desk, it serves as both a design statement and an exceptional audio performer.

Immersive Audio Performance with Advanced Speaker Engineering

Compact Yet Powerful: The Perfect Blend of Size & Performance

Despite its elegant, compact footprint, the JBL Authentics 200 Platinum Edition is a powerhouse, delivering a frequency response range of 50Hz – 20kHz. Measuring 266mm x 172mm x 167mm and weighing 3.12kg, it strikes an ideal balance between portability and performance.
