    JBL soundbar

    I bought the JBL soundbar because of the affordable price at first, and I also recognize the brand. I am extremely happy with my purchase. The soundbar system is do easy to install and it comes on automatically when I turn on my tv, the bass speaker that came with it is awesome as well i, it really takes my movies to the next level in home screening. I haven’t been happier with a purchase in a while and I would truly recommend this to anyone looking for great sound at a great price! Thanks JBL and Bestbuy

    Great Budget Sound Bar

    I bought the open box with 5 yr ext. warranty $150 give or take with free shipping and the only thing missing was the remote which was fine for my needs. I connected this to my trading computer through Bluetooth from the upgrade PC speakers I previously had hooked up to it. I contacted JBL to see about the remote replacement and purchased it for like $15 and it took like a week turn around. It sounds fantastic for being in the office 11' x 12' room and it can get pretty loud and has clear sound. I can hear it all through the house plain as day at all volume levels. There's no sub control like other brands have. It does have some punch for a 5.25" sub. If you want something that is budget friendly, clear sounding with some punch this would be great to have. I like to Jam out when I am charting or trading. I would check out all the models for your needs and your room size before purchasing though.

    Great Sound Bar

    Great sound bar for my needs! It is very easy to set up. Sound quality is great. I was debating on another sound bar and was live messaging with a Best Buy team member and told them what I was looking for and wanted to make sure it was compatible with my tv and they suggested this one and it was $20 less than the one I was looking at. This is one of the many reasons why I shop at BestBuy!
