Introducing JBL speakers powered by both Assistant and Alexa

Harman introduced the new JBL Authentics series — the first smart speakers where you can talk to  both Google Assistant and Alexa at any time. 

This new, multi-assistant capability gives you the option to easily switch between the two. Simply say “Hey Google” or “Alexa" to activate your chosen voice assistant, and whatever you need is just a voice command away. You can even ask Google Assistant or Alexa to stop certain tasks — like timers and alarms — no matter which one started the request.

And with access to both voice assistants, you'll get responses sourced from Google and Amazon's most popular services — like information from Google, shopping results from Amazon.com, and songs from YouTube Music or Amazon Music.

If you set up Google Assistant, you can add the speaker to your home and customize your experience in the Google Home app.
