Great sound !!!
Bought this on discount and even if it was full price it would be worth it for me. Its user friendly and fills up my room with big sound. If your putting it in your living room you might want to go a lil bigger but thats just me i like big bass and sound. I was skeptical on the lil 6" woofer but it actually digs deep and has great rumble. I watched deepwater horizon and pearl harbor both sounded awesome. I used the hdmi setup so i can use one controller and works great. Also Bluetooth works just fine no issues. At first it wasnt loud like i knew it was slowed to be kuz i listened to it in the store first and after adjusting a few things on the sound settings from the tv it worked like normal and the soundbar n woofer got way louder how its supposed to be. Dont freakout if its not working like u want just make sure you read the instructions and all your sounds are on the proper setting. Mine (insignia f30) was on surround sound mode when i turned it off then the sound sr cane to life. Now i need one for my living room i might go with a nakimichi unit they're also on sale. But overall this jbl setup did not disappoint 5 stars.

JBL soundbar with sub
I wanted something that sounded better than my tv speakers. I took out my surround system years ago because the kids grew up and no one was really using the system anymore. I was expecting this to be “nothing special” because it’s just a soundbar and a little sub, plus the price is pretty low so I figured I would hook it up and be mainly underwhelmed but hopeful it was at least better than the tv speakers. Well, things have come a long way. It sounds really good and even the bass was surprisingly decent. Does it sound like my old surround system? No. Is it better than I expected? Absolutely….anytime you can at least be happy with what you bought is huge for me. It actually made me wonder how much better can the more expensive ones really be? This one does a very good job for the price point. No complaints!!!

The only choice to make.
I was looking for something that wouldn’t take up space and offered actual theater style sound. Honestly. Blown away at the sound quality. This soundbar offers theater performance sound at a great price!
