    I think the JBL - 2.1 Channel 300W Soundbar System is a great Soundbar if you've never experienced a soundbar before. It has the typical JBL booming bass. I use this soundbar exclusively for my desktop. Dolby Digital is fine on my TV, but if you have experienced Dolby Atmos you won't go back.

    Another great purchase from Best buy. Product is attractive, sound quality is great. I’d let my electronics genius of a daughter install since I am challenged in that area LOL. I enjoy it on a daily basis and it was a good purchase suggested by a Best Buy associate.

    I was looking at the JBL 2.1 and 5.1 The 5.1 was much richer in sound, but a little more money. The 2.1 works well, but if you can spend a little more, the 5.1 would be a much better investment. Overall I am satisfied. But wish I sprung for the 5.1

    Great sound for the price. Got it for a small room. The sound bar was a little longer than expected, but the system doesn't overwhelm the room despite the room being so small. A definite upgrade over just tv speakers.

    This is great for the value. Classic JBL sound. Use this for watching TV ( movies, sports etc.) Sound is great for the price. Definitely makes our room loud. The quality of the sound from everything we have watched has been excellent no delays or static of any kind.

    Had bought JBL and returned for this. You get what you pay for. Added two SL's and glad I did. Sound is great. Only issue, setting up. Why these manufactures love sending 3 step process, is beyond me. Was not that easy. Got it working though and Sono's support was great.

    I am a music and movies person, therefore I decided to make this purchase. I am more than elated with JBL, they have impressed me as usual. I've been purchasing there products for years, from car speakers to boom box. I am so happy for the bass!!! Wow!!!

    I have this connected to my TCL television and cable box. I installed it as instructed. The sound is much better than the TV speakers, but it does not give movies/TV any spacial/surround effect. I wasn't expecting it to sound like a 5.1 system, but thought it would do it a bit. It is annoying to have to grab the remove and select HDMI everytime I turn on the TV. It defaults to the TV input everytime, but you have to select HDMI to watch TV. It does switch automatically to TV when you start any of the apps on the TV, but it does not switch to HDMI automatically when you switch to the cable box. Installation on the wall was very simple. Otherwise, good but not as great speaker as many of these other reviews are.

      Our JBL Bar 2.1 prioritizes the TV as the source that's is why when you turn it on, the default source would be the TV. Please try to connect the TV box directly to your TV. Then, connect the TV to the soundbar via HDMI ARC so you don't have to switch sources when you turn it on. JBL

    Only get 3 bass levels. High bass doesn’t hit as hard as I thought it would. I have a Sony of the same tier level and the bass hits a lot harder. It can play really loud and still keep its quality.

    I listened to several sound bars, over several visits, and this JBL won every time in this price range. I have Bose speakers in the family room and guest room and this sounds just as impressive at a fraction of the cost!

    This is my first sound bar and I’m extremely happy with the system. Voices are clear and it’s very compatible with my Samsung smart TV. The fact that I was able to listen to this sound bar in the store was the deciding factor.
