    Very easy to install, and even easier to run. The subwoofer is definitely an upgrade from the Pioneer I had, along with the soundbar itself. Sound is crisp, and the different sound modes really make a difference! I bought it on sale, and couldn't be happier.

    The 3.1 on this is where it’s at. If you hate having the bass and sound be louder than the voices then this is the surround sound for you. It’s crisp and clear and the voices are clear as day as they are on a separate channel. Highly recommended.

    Best sub/ sound bar I’ve ever purchased. The 6.5” sub that comes with most sound bars doesn’t fill my living room will enough lows. This one comes with the 10” that is more than enough for the room with high ceilings. The highs are crisp and clear too.

    It’s simple and easy and the subwoofer adds a lot. I wish the high end were more clear and adjustable because my hearing is not as good as it used to be in the higher range, but it’s ok and I doubt any other product would have been more clear.

    Very satisfied with this sound bar. It has the largest subwoofer in its class compared to the other brands and the bass sounds awesome. Voices sound clear and it has multiple sound modes if you need to make dialogue more clear.

    For the price, the sound is excellent! I truly enjoy watching movies even more now as I can hear background sounds that I would not notice before. The sound bar also amplifies TV shows for extra sound quality as well. Very happy with this product!

    Bought as a Christmas gift for my husband. Was nervous constituents don’t know anything about electronics. But I picked a winner with this purchase. The base is amazing. It does not take away from the quality of sound. Super crisp sound. Booming base

    This is a wonderful, carefully crafted sound bar, subwoofer combo. The sound is well balanced and the 10 inch subwoofer has lots a power to shake the floor. JBL is well known for their quality sound and this system is no exception. I'm very happy with my choice.

    Excellent sound. Great bass. I use it mainly for music. Great buy for the price. I compared it to a klipsch soundbar. The jbl had a cleaner sound and the bass was more clear. So first half the price of a klipsch, this was the better buy for quality and price.

    I really only wanted a soundbar to use instead of the TV speakers. It's a little heavy on the base (which can be turned down). The treble is a little tinny, but that was also noted in other reviews. I really like it, but I think it's a little overpriced.

    For this cost tier I am satisfied. Highs and mids are clear and decent. Bass is very strong and solid. Setup is quite simple and took about 3 minutes. Remote is straight forward and intuitive. Used on a 75" Samsung in a large, high ceiling, open room.

    Great when it works. Randomly just stops connecting to TV, not easy to fix, when happens. Sometimes it can be fixed w a power reset of the whole unit, but definitely disappointed for the price...

    This sound bar brings the movie theater to your home. We couldn’t wait to get it set up and watch our favorite action movie. This sound bar brings the movie to life. It is also great for playing music off your phone for parties and social gatherings.

    This unit is pretty much plug and play. Delivers great vocals and the subwoofer is POWERFUL. I love how it performs. Lots of good features, like bluetooth connection to listen to music/sound from a BT source like your phone.

    It’s got great sound but the surroundness of it is not the best and it’s not the worst either. I’m usually a Bose guy but a friend had me give this a shot. I’d say he might have me sold on these products now. Thanks.

    Volume levels are phenomenal, added sub is nice. I wish it had an app or the ability to adjust a more accurate equalizer. Other than that, the sound is full, voices are crisp and clear. Our family loves it.
