JBL’s new JBL Authentic L8 and JBL Authentic L16 wireless speakers bring classic speaker design together with superior wireless technology to create an authentic and impressive sound experience. Each features premium materials, optimized low-frequency and high-frequency JBL transducers and meticulous acoustic design. With AirPlay, DLNA and Bluetooth connectivity they cut the cord but not the audio quality.

JBL explains,

Harman Signal Doctor technology replaces the details lost in today’s compressed music files, adding detail and energy to any low quality music stream. Not only that, but a free JBL MusicFlow app lets you easily control playback with iOS or Android mobile devices. And both speakers incorporate connection for an optional wireless charging pad for Qi compatible devices.

This stylish and self-contained speaker line comes in two versions. Here’s a look at how they compare.
