PRESS RELEASE

London – March 13, 2018.  JBL’s new LINK 500 is the most powerful Google voice assistant speaker out there. From blasting out your favourite tunes, finding tasty recipes and checking traffic to controlling smart home products and more, it’s the ultimate home speaker. 

Clever brains aside, the LINK 500 joins the ranks of JBL’s voice activated Link product family, bringing powerful, room-shaking bass to the party. With wireless Chromecast magic built-in, it’s easy to stream your favourite shows and music via Wi-Fi, directly from the cloud. Experience crystal clear JBL sound, exactly the way the artist intended – all with a super smooth setup via the Google Home app on iOS & Android. 

Enjoy being the master of your own digital butler from the moment you step in the door “OK Google, turn the kitchen lights on”, “OK Google, how do I make lasagne?”, “OK Google, play my epic playlist”. Simple as that: a simple voice request triggers your JBL Link 500 to play music from services like Google Play Music, Spotify, Deezer and many others!

The JBL LINK 500 is in shops and online now at £349.99. Check it on JBL.com.
