I typically don't write reviews, but this has awesome sound for $300. The bass is outstanding. Only complaints are the wall "bracket" is pretty cheap (I bought an aftermarket), and the remote feels cheap as well. That said, JBL does not have the name recognition like a Bose or others, but the sound is really good and on par with a more expensive unit. I hope this review helps people thinking about sending more...for $300 you can't go wrong.

Leading up to the purchase of this system, I did a ton of research on what was out there to meet my needs. I listen to a lot of music through my soundbar system, so I knew I wanted something that could produce clear sound at higher volume, with the ability for a lot of bass when I wanted it. Needless to say, this soundbar has fit the bill. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend, especially at the pricepoint.

Always been skeptical of sound bars but this bad boy is pretty impressive, surround node is the only one that really works for me but 10 inch sub and clean highs do a great job ! This product was $500 which is over kill, but I got it for like $250 on a sale and that was totally worth it ! Great sound bar, totally satisfied, and by the way, the demo in the store sound nothing like at home, it sounded awesome at my house !

Research all sorts of 3.1 sound bars. Wanted only 3.1 to replace an old Samsung 2.1. What a difference and should have done it sooner. Great deal for $300. Works perfect with Amazon fire stick and can program the remote for volume. You won’t find a better solution for a great deal. Subwoofer sounds great and wireless part is a must. The only thing it is missing is a APP option so your phone or tablet can set certain settings.

My first soundbar was the Samsung 2.1 and I liked it but for whatever reason it will cut on by itself so I end up taking it back I was looking at the Polk audio and reviewers out there that's when it happened I saw the jdl 3.1 this sound bar has tremendous sound the subwoofer is like no other I would imagine it's an 8 ohm speaker but these ohms drop down to four very deep bass very powerful the Bluetooth signal on the subs a good just a very good product.

This is a great sounding sound bar at a reasonable price point with a powered 10” sub that can deliver the bass you can feel! Quality, balanced sound regardless of the source (TV, movies or music) from the bar and plenty of bass that will need to be dialed back to contain the excessive low rumble. Bluetooth works great and I love that other remotes can learn and control its functions therefore eliminating another remote to have to utilize.

This sound bar and wireless powers sub where very easy to set up, had everything up and going within five minutes. The sound settings are just right for the room size I have as well as the sub hits just enough. I have only used it for movies, have not yet listened to any music with this system. We have it in a extra room that does not get used to often so does not see much use. However it is 100% better then TVs sound system.

I bought this sound bar for my new LG 55” oled tv and WOW, what a difference it made even over my old surround sound system. It was competitive to some of the higher end systems so I was leary of purchasing it at first, but now I do not have any regrets at all and recommend this powerful system.

Replaced a receiver and 5.1 surround system. This doesn’t replicate the sound but for 99% of TV listening it sounds great. The bass is fantastic. The kids have tested the subwoofer with the Bluetooth connection and it really thumps. The only thing I don’t like is the remote which is pathetic. My TV is old with no HDMI Arc so I have to use the soundbar remote and it has no range. Have to be very close to change the volume.

All speakers are on if the TV is broadcasting Dolby audio to the sound bar , if not then only the side speakers are on but you can easily turn on the center speakers by turning on surround, overall havent had any issues , easy Bluetooth connectivity, plug in play , subwoofer connects automatically to sub when power, awesome soundbar!!

After looking at all the soundbar and subwoofer setups, I left before I spent $1200 on a soundbar. Heading out of the store I passed this JBL setup and I bought it on impulse because I was hosting an LSU football game party that night. I told myself if I didn’t like it I would return it the next day. The system sounds great! The bass shakes my whole house. Great bang for your buck!

Awesome bass!!! A little too much if there is such a thing for a living room. The highs were awesome too!! I really wanted to keep this soundbar and I would have if there was some mid range. Unfortunately it just wasn't there and didn't complete the whole audio range. Picked up the Klipsch RSB-11 and am blown away with the mid range. Everything is just so full. Bass isn't quite like the JBL but enough to satisfy most people.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for the house. Hooked it up using the ARC method and it sounds AMAZING! Bought it because of great experience with JBL car audio and overall great experience in the past. The 10" wireless subwoofer sounds great and paired up right away no issue. One of the reasons that I bought this was because of the 10" sub. The remote that came with it worked well. Was a slight learning curve for the settings and getting to know the system as the instructions are lacking. My TV is a Samsung LED and both the TV and Comcast remotes would work the volume on the soundbar without programming which was a HUGE plus!!! That's where the positive ends... the same day we were watching one of the Marvel movies and my 8 yr old daughter noticed the sound would cut out for a second and come back on. Did not think anything about it. It became more frequent. More noticable. It would do it with regular cable. I thought ok maybe a bad connection or HDMI cable. I only use MONSTER cables. So, I checked the connections and used electronic connection cleaner and re hooked it up. Still the same thing. Bought an Optical cable also MONSTER and bypassed the HDMI switching on the soundbar and only use it as an audio only source. STILL THE SAME THING!!! There is a glitch with the soundbar. If it was not for the OH SO ANNOYING glitch, this would be a 5 STAR review. Of course it is passed the 14 day return policy with BEST BUY... It is really annoying for paying $350 for this sound bar and that was a sale price. Would HATE to of paid full price for this!!!

Bought this sound bar to replace my surround sound system mainly because i have a 1yr old who kept dropping my speaker stands. Couldnt pass up the price!
And i set it up above the tv therefore the little hands stay away.
But this sound bar has an incredible sound,subwoofer is wireless and packs a punch.
Highly recommend.

I purchased a sound bar to replace my older sound bar but was very disappointed with the overall sound and bass. After reading some reviews on this JBL about how good the bass was I decided to try this one. Really happy that I did. I am very happy with the sound and it will rock the house. You won't be disappoint with this!

This system has been calling out to me for quite some time. Finally gave in and bought during audiofest while it was on sale. Setup a breeze and the sound is really good and fills up my den with whatever I'm listening to. Works great with my LG OLED TV. Tried to set it up using the HDMI arc but had issues so I used the optical cable. Am very pleased.
