Best home theater surround sound
Its a good speaker well worth the upgrade. It sounds amazing the voices pick up pretty well. The sound in the background in any action scene is so loud it shakes my whole house. I love it!! I feel like i am at the movies. If you want a theater like surround sound this is it!

Great product
This bar is good size, I have 55 inch TV and it's about 3 inches shy on each side...sound quality is amazing...sub kicks pretty good. No rear speakers but you would never know, idk how it works...but sound is thrown and you'd swear it were behind you.

Great sound from a small package
JBL did a great job with this product. The range of the sound bar is impressive and having a dedicated subwoofer really makes this an alternative to a traditional receiver based system. Setup was super easy.
