The JBL Authentics 500 is good for music. Its Self-Tuning room correction tool automatically adjusts the speaker's sound based on your room's unique acoustics. With it on, its sound is fairly even and balanced, making it suitable for many different music genres. Plus, it's quite customizable, with bass and treble knobs on the speaker as well as presets and a graphic EQ in the JBL One companion app. It gets quite loud, too, albeit with some compression at max volume.
