Ask Alexa to play some music and then ask Google Assistant to turn it up, seamlessly, on the swanky retro-styled JBL Authentics speakers.

JBL has released its latest home speakers, the Authentics lineup, which allow interchangeable use of Google and Alexa voice assistants.
This development is significant because it means users won't have to choose a preferred assistant and can seamlessly switch between them.
The JBL Authentics speakers have a distinctive retro style and impressive sound, as well as ample connectivity options.
