Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this soundbar. I only wish I didn't live in an apartment so that I could experience is real potential lol. I have had few minor issues with the sub kind of popping or randomly getting distorted, but it has been a pretty rare thing. I should probably contact customer support about that...

Fantastic Sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this on the recommendation of a Best Buy team member and was not disappointed. I also checked the online reviews before deciding to buy it. To top it off this was a couple of hundred dollars off which made it a great value. It was easy to hang and it works perfectly with my Sony TV. The sound is amazing!!

No more wires
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife has been nagging, pushing me to find a near wireless solution. I replaced a Yamaha/definitive technology 5.1 Surround Sound and couldn’t be happier. The sound quality is great, bass is ridiculously deep. Fills the room with great sound without all of the wiring. Highly recommended if you are in the same situation looking for a simpler setup.

Great sound for watching TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the simplicity and design of the soundbar with few wires and the wireless subwoofer. The 3 channel sound is great for watching TV. However, I don't get that great surround sound like the movie theatre, but the usual TV channels don't really project that audio and I haven't really tested it with a 4K movie yet. Still love the design and sound. Much better then the actual TV audio

Great overall value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third system; loved it so much for bedroom bought two for basement. Great value if you can get when it goes on sale periodically for under $300. Bass is incredible and able to clearly hear dialogue on movies. Would recommend turning off tv speakers to avoid delay issues. Bluetooth streaming works but honestly I don’t use it much if at all.

Definitely has great sound, lacking some features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The soundbar is excellent and produces some high quality listening for movies, sports, and television. However, the one drawback is the bass does not really adjust to help boost voice. The controls don’t quite let you dial in EQ to get super crisp sound. It is based off of different sound modes. Great idea and product, needs to allow users to do more tweaking.

Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking at putting surround sound in my living room and run across this sound bar in the the store and figured I’d give it a try ( rather than doing all the work of setting up and wiring a complete system) I am very impressed with the sound that comes out of this. It’s very clear on the highs and has a very solid bass from the wireless sub.

For the picky ears
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can’t go wrong with JBL. Great sound. Subwoofer makes a big difference.

Fantastic Bass!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit has the most astounding, room shaking bass I think I’ve heard from a consumer speaker. I have the wireless bass setup near the TV. Even across the room, the thing will walk a glass right off a table! I prefer a good bass response, as long as the kids and hi’s are bright. I specifically wanted a 3.1, because it has a midrange speaker. The mid is a bit more muted than I would like. I turn the base down, just a bit, to enable the voices to come out more. The bar is 40”, which is the same width as my 50” TV. It can be mounted to the wall. The bass unit is quite large. It’s almost the size of an end table. It is wireless and can be placed anywhere, within range of an outlet. The remote allows quite a bit of adjustment to the sound profile. I have managed to get just about the sound I want. There is also a “night mode” which reduces the bass response quite a bit. This unit retails at $499 and it sounds almost as good as units at over double the cost. The only thing it lacks is Dolby Atmos. It does have the older Dolby Digital sound. I definitely recommend this bar if you like big explosions or big bass music. You won’t be disappointed.

Very nice sound and function
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t have the space for a full Sound-system so this is a great alternative for me. The 3.1 sound bar does sound very nice but my main concern was getting a decent subwoofer. The subwoofer is indeed highly responsive and sounds great. Most people would probably give this five stars but I don’t believe that any piece of gear is actually worth five stars as there is always “something”. I’d go 4.5 only because of small stuff such as the remote doesn’t seem to respond very well if you are off-axis with the front of the bar. Not a very big deal overall compared to the fit and function of this system. I set it up in under 30 minutes and broke it in with Guardians if the Galaxy 1&2 and it had nice clarity from the bar and good lows from the sub. It doesn’t compete with a 5.1 or 7.1/2 system but nobody should expect that anyway. For those lacking enough space for the whole sound system rack, this is a great alternative.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we purchased out new TV (at Best Buy) I asked the sales associate about good sound bars. He said in his opinion this one was the pest bang for your buck. Man was he right! setup was easy and the sound is great! The kids jumped the first time the bass really came out. lol. I really like the quality.

So far so good.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only had this for a month now but it has been working great. No trouble connecting the sub-woofer nor trouble with it cutting out when switching inputs. Much better bass with a 10" driver then the 6.5 with the Samsung I was running. Not top of the line but for the price its worth it.

3 channel is the way to go
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comparing to other “name” brands like Samsung, Sony, LG, they just aren’t audio companies and the sound speaks for itself. SOME can sound well, but in comparison and value it makes no sense. And one of the top subs too, you don’t see many soundbars come with such a solid sub (10” vs the average 6.5”)

Great Sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you like base this sound bar should not disappoint. Voices are not drowned out by the sound effects. Relatively easy to install and fun listening to music from my phone through the Bluetooth connection. Caught it on sale for $299.00 which is $100.00 more than some 2.1 sound bars but is worth it.
