Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sounds awesome!! Have used with TV shows, movies, streaming Amazon Prime video, and with Spotify via Bluetooth. Doesn't matter what you used it for, it's 5 stars. I'm a Sony guy and normally use nothing but. Tried a similarly-priced Sony in my local Best Buy, then tried this JBL, and lastly a Polk that cost $200 more. The JBL sounded much better than the Sony and nearly as good as the much more expensive Polk. The clarity and midrange and bass are incredible. This is my 1st JBL of anything, but it won't be the last. Just go get one!!

The bar and sub have a nice look. The sound is clear and the bass is low. I was going to purchase a lower priced unit, but when demoing that one and this one in the store, the sounds quality was worth the $100 increase in price for me. Installation was frustrating. I could not get it to work with my Xbox and TV using HDMI cables, even after going through the easy to understand instructions. I finally just used an optical cable from the TV to the bar and it worked instantly (and less cables). So buy an optical cable for a quick and less mess install.

I'm in an apartment and share walls with others so I don't listen crazy loud, but it has decent sound for the number of channels. Not top of the line, but it also is a decent upgrade from built-in tv speakers.

I spent a lot of time researching sound bars before settling on this one. I had never owned one before this and was worried about the quality of the equipment. The models/brands cheaper than this one seemed like they were typical "you get what you pay for" equipment, and the models/brands more expensive than this were definitely out of my price range. I also live in a small apartment and was worried about the subwoofer being too heavy for neighbors around me. This soundbar ended up being perfect for all my needs. You will really hear the depth of sound when playing music through it, but it works great for TV/Movies as well. The remote has a subwoofer control (3 settings of low/mid/high) that helps a lot depending on what I'm using the bar for and the time of day. The Best Buy employee who helped me with this described the bar as the "entry model into the higher end brands/models." And I think I agree. I am glad I spent a little more money and got this model than saving a few bucks and taking a huge risk on the quality of a cheaper model. My suggestion to whoever is reading this is really take the measurements of the equipment into consideration before purchasing. I had a rough idea of what it would be like in my living room, but it was a tighter fit than expected in a smaller living room.

Purchased a new tv but didn’t like the sound so I looked for a sound bar upgrade and the JBL was perfect. Would recommend the JBL to anyone.

When I can drown out 3 kids and their phones, when I'm watching tv Iam sold.

Extremely difficult setup - I would say 9/10 difficulty. Bluetooth is straight forward. The HDMI pass through is where your nightmare is. It comes with a special HDMI cable, that it doesn't tell you is special. Your TV has to have a special feature in order to be able to control it. Once you get it setup, took me an hour, it works alright but - this was a gift - next time I went to visit, it doesn't play again. Plays Bluetooth and not HDMI or TV. This shouldn't be so flippin' difficult. It's a speaker set. The sound is supreme. Definitely the best sound at this price point. The remote is simple and easy to understand It looks really nice

Solid sound bar. Bass is good, but the main volume could be louder. No noticeable distortion at any level. Not many customizable settings outside of low, mid, high bass, but JBL preset settings are fantastic. I don’t normally play my audio more than 50%, but for certain movies, I’m finding that I’m going 75% to achieve audio that I find satisfactory. For the price, a great sound bar over any stock TV

Good brand, sound good and love the bass... easy to hooked up, I recommended this bar system...

This soundbar is amazing! I live in an apartment and this soundbar is perfect for the space that I have! I tried to put it at full blast for one second and it definitely caught me by surprise how loud it got!! Highly recommend, it is a great soundbar for a great price!

I was looking for a sound bar that would compare to what we had. The sound on this sound bar is great. And the price was comparable with others.

Great price and it sounds good. It has great bass and it fits perfectly on my TV stand.

Added this surround sound system to enhance our new Samsung TV and it is awesome. Sounds good and the amplifier makes it even better.

Extremely good sounding and bass but dont know about its longevity.

brings the sound to life, awesome bass. Total clarity , best investment I ever made. Would highly recommend this product, also very easy set up

We have had this sound system for about a month and really enjoy it. The bass is really quite impressive.

Absofreakinglutely love!!!!! We use it for family movie nights and it’s exactly what is needed for a good movie watching experience at home.

I love it, Great Sound quality, you can hear all the little things when you watch NG-channel.

Great product, and great price ! The sound is more than I expected; it give the “Movie Theater” feel in your own home.

It was easy to install and I provided the optical cable and my sister who was using it found it easy to use it.
