Audio Delay
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love this soundbar so bad. The build is excellent. It looks sleek under my TV. The sound quality is outstanding as well as the virtual surround. It really does have a way of wrapping the sound all around you even just as a single bar with a sub. However, no matter what I do, there is an audio delay. I tried HDMI ARC and Optical and both produce a delay even when set to PCM. On Dolby the delay is even worse. I thought maybe it was my TV but when I tested it with an optical connection on my 7 year old Vizio soundbar from the other room there is no delay. I ended up returning this bar and first tried a Sony soundbar, I don’t recall the model but it was quite expensive. I thought that one sounded very tinny, maybe because of the microscopic tweeters and underwhelming sub. Now I’ve finally settled on a Samsung Q900T which is again even more expensive, but it has no audio lag and all of the features I want. And it sounds fantastic. I’m not sure what the problem with the JBL Bar is, maybe it has something to do with pairing it with my specific TV, I really couldn’t find many complaints online of audio lag. If there was no delay it would be the perfect soundbar. Unfortunately the delay was just too bad to ignore. I tried for a month to correct it to no avail.

Awesome sound bar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love the bass on this set up. It’s way better than my Bose 300 with the sub, costs half the price, usually my wife tells me to lower it because it’s too loud

JBL 5.1
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best bang for the buck IMO. This might be a little more than others, but in this case, you get what you pay for. No others output the bass & volume that this one does so far that I have had or heard.

Wow!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had bose, yamaha, and samsung sound bars in the past. We decided to go JBL this time around and by far the best one yet. Sound is clear and you don't have to turn up to far to be loud. We absoutely love it.

Sub pounds!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sounds awesome! I love that the subwoofer is wireless and just needs an outlet for power. I was skeptical because of the price but after having it to use for a week I am very satisfied.

Simple and good sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this sounds really good for a simple sound bar subwoofer setup. Wish it had an EQ or sound modes to change for different types of listening experiences.

JBL 5.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is terrific! I had a little trouble syncing the subwoofer to the sound bar. I eventually called Samsung after following all the instructions. They walked me through it and it is finally working great.

Great solution for apartment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality of surround sound given that there are no actual surround speakers; pretty impressed, especially after calibrating. Sub loses wireless pairing sporadically but is easily fixed. Happy with purchase.

Pure sound quality at an excellent price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and features. This soundbar has an auto calibration that works very well. The sound stage is on par with that of much more expensive units. For the price you can't beat it.
