Nice set up
I purchased this set up after having a terrible experience with a Samsung soundar and have only had it 60 days but so it is great! Pro's Easy to set up Great sound Great bass response Pairs with tv remote easily for volume control Con's Cannot adjust anything through the remote-only the app App is a little quirky and not much adjustability Overall I am pleased with this set up and would recommend and buy again. Only bad thing was when I went to the local Best Buy store, the sales person that walked up to help me was wearing a Sony shirt and only wanted to discuss Sony products. When I asked him about other brands, he qould not discuss them and quickly switched back to Sony sales mode. I have been in sales all my life but you dont start the sales process at the top of line model, especially if you are told what a budget is. As i milled around looking at other brands by myself, another associate came over and gave me his honest opinion of the comparison of the Sony model to the JBL and said he'd recommend the JBL hands down. I bought it and very happy with it.

Great upgrade to TV sound, JBL always good
My first soundbar. I normally get the 5.1 surround setups but just needed something for the living room better than the TV speakers that don't play sports sounds well. You get what you pay for so I spent a little more then the cheapest. JBL always has sound up there with bose so I knew it would sound and perform well. Major difference in sound of course, like going from a small old radio to a movie theater. Some claim a surround sound effect from these but I don't hear it. Bass is good, has 5 levels and I keep it on 2 for daily listening. Go to 5 if you want to blast some music and shake the room. I've heard better but from more expensive and bigger speakers so again you get what you pay for. If anyone has connectivity issues they probably aren't using the ARC to ARC HDMI connection or their TV is too old, it connects just fine and can use my TV remote. You'll need the app or remote to switch to Bluetooth or adjust bass/treble.
