    I can’t rave enough about this soundbar! It was an absolute game-changer and the perfect gift. The difference it made to my TV’s sound quality is astounding – it’s like experiencing my favorite shows and movies in a whole new dimension. If you’re looking to elevate your home entertainment setup, look no further!

    Great Audio, No 4k Passthrough

    The audio quality is great with this soundbar. Voices are very clear and the bass is nice. I personally would prefer a bigger woofer but this kicks very well for the price. My only gripe with it is the HDMI passthrough is 1080p rather than 4k.

    This thing boasts that it has powerful bass. The reviews talk about how awesome the bass is. Seemed like a no brainer for me to get it as I love bass. The bass just isn't there for me. It can hit the low lows really well but anything higher than that is just meh at most. I have to have the bass set on high for it to make any difference. I don't know if the sub has an issue or if it's just designed to work that way. Music does sound pretty decent on the bar. Voices during movies come through well in the center but the mids are extremely muddy and sound very muffled in my opinion. I don't know if you have to have the volume very high for it to really shine but so far my experience has not been good with it. I didn't really know what to expect as this is my first sound bar, but I figured it would have sounded better. I'm also running my PS5 through it with HDMI and it lowers my graphics quality by a very noticeable difference. So, I am going have to use optical in order to keep my graphics quality up. Overall, I am not very satisfied with it and wish I could've heard it before I bought it but I was only able to get based off reviews. I may return or move it to the bedroom and just use it for music.

    Great little system. We were a little hesitant at first because it seemed like it might be too small for what we were looking for, but this system has great sound and fits what we were looking for.

    Hearing Impaired

    I already had this same soundbar for about three years. I am hearing impaired in both ears. This soundbar keeps me from having to use the captions or using my hearing aids while watching tv. I spent over $1,500 years ago on a Bose system and the JBL is so much better. Needless to say that I have the Bose system away.

    Are there better soundbars out there? Yep. But for the cost savings, this packs a punch and is very suitable for my smaller basement living room. Probably wouldn’t put it in a large room, but it’s a great value

    For the money this JBL unit is highly capable of pushing out good base and clean sound for just a 2.1 system. It delivers as promised for a really good price.
