    I was looking for a replacement for a dated sound bar. I demoed all in the display. I narrowed it down to this sound bar and one nearly double the cost. Even the salesperson agreed with be that this JBL 2.1 with bass boost had clear vocals, crisp sound, and a good bass. No need to pay more!

    Not enough sound options

    I like the JBL system, but when it comes to the 2.1 bass boost system the bass does over power the soundbar. The maximum volume is level 32, the sound has to reach to 25 to really enjoy the sound. But, I really think that this system is good for music and not movies. Theres not much to change the sound but only 3 bass modes....low, medium and high. I returned this JBL and in turn I bought the Vizio V51-H6, which I highly recommend and has the same amount of bass and alot of options to balance the sound which is a 5.1 system. But if you have the funds and like the JBL system, I would recommend the JBL 9.1. Best Buy has the JBL 9.1 on display to have a closer listen to it.

    My boyfriend and I have really enjoyed using this soundbar in our new space. Whenever we use it we notice sounds during movies or shows that we usually don't hear. The sound is incredibly clear and the subwoofer does a great job regardless of the level it's in.

    Excellent sound quality, works flawlessly in our basement. We decided to put the bass behind the couch. Makes a world of difference in movies and gaming. We debated between this and the 5.1. For a 250 difference decided we could go with the 2.1. Dont regret it at all....LOUD strong sound

    I got this sound bar for 199 in the Black Friday and I can say it’s been a great purchase cause the bar sounds decent but the subwoofer makes a big difference, honestly you’re not getting a better sound for that price, jbl it’s been doing a great improvement in their speakers lately.

    Nice addition to our listening and viewing experience for the price. Good sound. Very noticeable subwoofer. Just sorry it required a $100 service call to solve problems integrating with the TCL/Roku television. Not quite as good a deal as expected, but we'll get over that.

    My Tv was sharp andriod 75" TV. I needed to buy an optical cable because the HDMI cable does not work. The sound was a great improvement. You can really feel the gunds and effect of the movies. I'm very much happy on my purchase. 300 is a good deal. I hope it will last for a long time.

    If you want to add bass, yeah, but the volume of the soundbar is overpowered by the subwoofer. Not what i expected. My bluetooth speaker has better quality and louder volume.

    Soundbar with subwoofer. I've wanted one for a while. I'm glad I bought it, but the sound isn't spectacular. I would have given a better review if you had more options in the controls. You can set it up with your Blu-ray player, TV, and Bluetooth/phone.
