Great soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While a more expensive sound bar, it is definitely worth it. The sound quality is amazing! It is so good, I have had to question a couple of times if the news anchor was actually sitting in the room talking to me. Very deep and loud bass, makes many of the action movies that much more exciting. This says it is a 5.1 soundbar, but does not simulate surround sound. If you are wanting a soundbar to simulate surround sound, then you will need to go with a different bar. I actually don't mind that it doesn't. This is not as good as a full surround sound system with a dedicated receiver, but it works for smaller spaces or small budgets. While you can buy a "cheaper" unit, I would recommend you save up your money and purchase this one. The Airplay 2 and Chromecast audio work flawlessly, and the bluetooth works really well also.

The BOMB sound unit!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This home theater system is thr real deal! I had all of my wondows and doora closed on a cold winter night. My neighbor came over and asked if i could turn it down because his walls were shaking too. Full theater sound and easy hook up, makes this well worth the $ spent.

Very nice upgrade.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice system for the price i got it at. For basic conversion from tv to home theater. Not worth retail but if you find it on sale its a very nice upgrade for apts or living room where you dont necessarily want to shake the house, but want more than tv speakers. Much better than the $200 options out there.

Well worth the price!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This JBL 5.1 sound bar is definitely a great value ($299.99 when on sale). I was looking to replace my older LG 2.1 sound bar but didn't want to spend a lot of money. When I found this one and checked out the reviews and videos online I figured I would take a chance. I'm so glad I did! The set up was pretty easy and the sound is awesome. There are no rear speakers but it still seems fills my living room with "surround"sound. The movies come to life with the deep bass (adjustable 1-5) I'm sure there are better more expensive systems out there, but if you are looking for better than average sound at a great price this JBL 5.1 sound bar is for you!!

Great Soundbar!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This JBL Soundbar is everything the salesperson said it would be and more. This soundbar was the replacement for one we returned which had music and talking distinquishbly separate and you had to turn the volume up to almost the highest decible to hear, but not this JBL. The sound quality, clarity and equivalence/balance is excellent and the surround sound gives you the full effect of the surround system we already have and no longer use. The installation was easy and there has never been an issue with it's performance. We purchased it on sale at a price I didn't think was a sale price (not knowing a good price being a 1st time buyer), but it was worth every penny, especially if you're into TV/music sound quality like my husband. We have it in our family room with 8-9 ft ceiling, we're very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend this soundbar. If in the market again, JBL would be my choice.

Miranda at BestBuy in Golden Colorado Denver West
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.after making an purchase on an open box special, on this same sound system only to find out during setup at my home and having to contact JBL support to assist me. I found out the purchase I made on January 23 at the Best Buys location at the Denver West location in Colorado. that open box system was 3 different component's. they didn't even go together. The help I received online and via phone was disrespectful and outright terrible from all the best buy entities I reached out to. Miranda the store Manager today January 26th she was so AMAZING and turned out to b e a true ROCKSTAR. her professionalism and true caring about my situation is what me go ahead and make another purchase. I was NEVER again shop BestBuy after the HOKIE DOKE deal they tried to pass on to myself on Jan 23, 2023, but the expertise of Maranda the store manager has changed my mind. She is a great person will an all around quality of a Salesperson.

So glad I bought it for less than $300
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For less than $300, this sound bar is worth it. I would not be able to use it for a house dance party. It makes watching television and movies enjoyable. Some reviews are saying the bass is not adequate. However, with the correct setting, the subwoofer rumbles my living room. In a nutshell, It is a great upgrade from the my Samsung television’s speakers. It definitely cannot beat a pair of loudspeakers.

Very nice quality with a monstrous subwoofer!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved! Pass tense because I took this back only because it was actually too powerful for what I needed it for and where I was using it was too small of a room. The bass is great, the sub is huge which is why I flocked to this thing. I'm a bass head obviously. But the amount of bass this is throwing off in a small room, will sound like an earthquake. If I had a bigger space, I would have kept it. Also the sub had a small dent in it as well which I did not notice until I took it back. Apparently these are known for that. I highly recommend this. Very nice sound as well. Great product all around. One downfall is to the remote. I wish there was more options with ways to regulate the bass and sound. I wish there was a night version button. I probably would have kept it. Other than that, it was amazing to use!
