More bang for your buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great system for the money. At one point I actually had to turn down the base because it was shaking the room too much. Love it and hope to get a lot of use of it.

Good soundbar.

20 yr old JVC System is better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This bar didn't do it for me. Wanted a smaller footprint than my 20 yr old JVC 460w system I have hooked to the TV. This JBL bass was on par but was to tingy in the focals and was very thin in the mids. Worth maybe $200 but at MSRP it's way too much for what it is. Sounded ok on some movies but normal tv was very poor. I have a $150 LG in the bedroom and while the base isn't there the sound is much more full and well rounded. I tried arc, optical, changed tv settings, everything I could do and just fell short. Could be sound bars aren't for me as I realize you can only expect so much from small speakers but even with all the tech nowadays can't compare to the old school bookshelf speakers. Going to wait on some deals and build a little 3.1 system with receiver myself. Think that's really the way to go and won't be much if any more expensive.

Great Bass
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned different sound bars, but the JBL-3.1 is by far the best-huge bass output from the 10 inch woofer-really great for movies and music shows.

Big Bass, mediocre sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve seen many good reviews which led me to buying this soundbar and I didn’t think much of the not so positive reviews. I bought this unit to replace my Samsung sound bar with a 6.5 inch subwoofer, and believe me, the 10 inch subwoofer rocked my entire house. The 10 inch subwoofer is the reason why I bought this unit, it definitely doesn’t disappoint. The jbl 3.1 soundbar itself is what led me to return it. There is absolutely no mid range on the soundbar, everything sounds way to clear, it is too clear where it was up to the point where it bothered my ears. There’s no settings that allows you to adjust the treble, only the bass level is adjustable. I turned the bass level up to the max settings where I was able to get some kind of mid range but any scenes with explosions or hard hitting bass was obnoxiously loud. It made watching movies and tv unpleasant. I really really wanted to like this product but the subwoofer wasn’t enough for me to keep it. I paid around $200 for this product, but personally I don’t think it’s worth paying full price.
