Pros outweigh cons.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This sound bar has great sound quality and the bass is spectacular. It’s great for watching movies or connecting to your phone via Bluetooth to listen to some music. It’s loud enough to fill the room and enhances movie watching. It also looks great and is easy to clean because it doesn’t have the soft mesh most speakers come with. The only con is that you have to aim the remote directly at the sound bar in order for it to work; for instance, if you are sitting at a 30 degree angle and try to turn up the volume using the remote , it won’t work. I have to turn the sound bar to face my direction if I want to use remote.

Good sound, great quality for the price
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I bought this pair for my husband to use with his new TV because the sound on it was poor, hard to hear compared to our old one. Adding the soundbar was a major improvement, but when we hooked up the woofer it was great. We first tried it with the Bluetooth connection, but there was a slight lag between the characters on screen and their voices from the speaker. Once we connected the sound bar via HDMI cable it was flawless. We also tried connecting via optical cable and it worked that way too. But my husband said he thought the sound wasn't as quality via optical cable as it was using the HDMI cable. I didn't notice a significant difference. All in all it is a great set for the price range!

Amazing sound amazing bar
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.As is no surprise, JBL has created yet another product that is amazing. I previously purchased an open box JBL 2.0 sound bar with a built in subwoofer. This one really takes it to the next level. I would consider the 5.1 sound bar as well! JBL has been really making incredible products recently and the setup is both easy and simple. I wish more companies made products like this one

Q: QuestionWhat's the difference between this version (JBL2GBAR21DBBLKAM) abnd the old one (JBLBAR21BLKAM)?
Asked by D21.
- A:Answer They've enhanced the bass response, and added a USB port according to a post on the Yamaha site. However, the old one can be found online for a third less than the current 299 LP for the new model.
Answered by realpilot231
Q: QuestionDo you have to turn the sound baron and off every time you use the tv or does it do it automatically? Also can you use the tv speakers with the sounder on?
Asked by Mark.
- A:Answer Our JBL Bar 2.1 have an auto turn on feature. Once it detects a signal from the source, the unit will turn on. We do not recommend to use the sound bar with the TV speakers as it will create a feedback.
Answered by JBL Support

Asked by Keisha30.

Answered by Etropel
Q: QuestionI'm having a problem with the woofer. It loses connection with the soundbar. I've tried everything, including moving the woofer. When I turn my tv on in the morning the woofer works for a few hours and then turns off. Tried pairing, turn off/on.
Asked by Roy.
- A:Answer There are many factors why your subwoofer tends to disconnect from your JBL Bar 2.1. Please try the following methods to see if that resolves the issue: 1. Make sure that there are no obstacles or objects that could be disrupting the connecting between your Bar 2.1 and subwoofer. 2. Try moving your subwoofer closer to your soundbar. 3. Try disconnecting both your subwoofer and soundbar from the power source and reconnect again after 3-5 minutes. 4. Try to reset your device. Press and hold the Source, VOL+, and VOL- buttons at the same time until the “reset” text appears on your soundbars display.
