Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Easy to setup. The audio quality is amazing when paired with a streaming device and Blu-ray Player. The bass from the 10 inch subwoofer is perfect for watching action movies. My only issue is that the right surround’s volume is weaker than the left surround, even with the room calibration feature.

So I went to Best Buy looking for a quality sound bar. I found the JBL’s on display. I listened to both of them JBL 1300 which is expensive but it sound ridiculously good. The JBL 500 was the for the price and sound you actually couldn’t beat. Took it home and unboxed it. Easy installation if you want to wall mount it, which I did. The set up was easy. The one thing stands out for me is the room calibration. The sound bar send sounds out to adjust for room size and it actually works really well. Once you do this the sound bar sound freaking awesome. Movies are crisp sounding the high are good and the Lowe’s are awesome. I would have given this a 5 star review but when you set up you sound bar to your Wi-Fi it doesn’t stay connected for some reason. This sound bar has chrome cast which I do not use but it allows you to play your music apps directly to it. If anyone know a trick on how to keep this consistently connected I would love to hear how. So for me 4.5 stars

Great sound quality. Really easy set up and use. The bass hits really hard. Love that it came with mounting plates as well.

Looks great under my 85in tv. Amazing sound quality. It really makes it sound like you have speakers throught the room. Great bass and works seamlessly when connecting via airplay, Bluetooth, and with our Alexa set up.

Very much impressed with this system! I bought it on super bowl Sunday and connected it immediately, the bass is phenomenal. You can hear and feel the hits the players were taking. The halftime show sold me, the music is insanely clear and defined. I recommend this system to everyone out there. You can thank me later!

Turned My Living Room Into a Mini Movie Theater lol Bro… I turned this thing on and my whole living room woke up like “AYOOO what’s happening?!” The sound is CLEAN, the bass had my couch vibrating like it owed me money, and even my neighbor texted asking what movie I was watching. Setup was easy — if you can plug in a phone charger, you can set this up. Music sounds crazy good, movies hit way harder, and now I feel like I should start charging people admission to sit on my couch. If you want your TV to finally stop sounding like a 2005 laptop speaker, this is the move. Certified vibe.

Sounds great, easy setup, lots of bass. Good purchase when on sale.

I wasn't sure of this brand but big *WOW* the surround sound its great and best is the 12345 bass settings, its super powerful I feel it all around me like at a night club,reminds me of my dancing nights out. I even painted the front.Not finished yet.

Great sound quality ease of use easy setup great features

Best purchase ever!! No regrets with JBL super huge bass and quality for your movies! When you turn into bluetooth mode it changes the settings into a music mode and when is on HDMI or optical mode its amazing sound for movies and video games

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!

JBL is #1 for me for life now best purchase I bought I don’t feel guilty for buying this (fire emoji fire emoji) the bass is amazing and the sound is music to my ears

This soundbar is the absolute Bomb! I would recommend this soundbar to anyone looking for that powerful bass and great sound quality while watching sports, movies, and tv in general. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the great sound quality and felt that bass roaring as I enjoyed a movie with my family. We felt like we were inside the movie.

Very good sound quality for the price. Easy hookup process.

The JBL 5.1 soundbar is a great product and I had given it 4 stars rating because of it unique performance . Though I wanted a higher Chanel which are mostly expensive, however the JBL 5.1 Chanel is a great choice with exceptional bass quality and user friendly features.

Buy this! Guys, the sound out of this is super loud and clear. I can’t even turn it up all the way because it’s to much. The bass in the subwoofer is bomb! You can feel it throughout the house. It will shake your furniture. You don’t need any extra speakers . This setup gives you some IMAX sound . No joke.

Got the open box one, was abit skeptical. However it works perfectly without any issues. It is easy to setup. I just love how well it fits in my space

This is an exceptional sound bar for the price! I bought it on sale for $399, and it feels like I didn't pay enough for this. The 3D simulated sound is exceptional, and it can calibrate to the room. It genuinely sounds like there are surround sound speakers in the room of my basement. You can control the bass level, and the sound is exceptionally clear, especially for dialogue. It's incredible that JBL can pack this much technology at such an affordable price-point.

I was surprised by the sound quality this equipment delivers; it was really a great deal for the price I paid
