Subwoofer A+
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Subwoofer is amazing, but turning it off for normal TV shows means the sound bar is "meh" at best and pretty worthless. Returned for a 5.1.2 which sounds MUCH better!

WHY NO DIGITAL AUDIO CABLE INCLUDED?
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give this a 5 start rating if it came with the cord that most probably need- Digital Audio Cable. For the cost of this, even on a sale a $20 or less cord should be included. The HDMI didnt work with our tv for sound. Easy hook up when you have everything you need.
I would recommend this to a friendAn average speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You basically get what you pay for though it might be pricey for what the system gives. Personally it should be a $350 speaker. From a basic perspective, it handles movies better than music. From an xperienced view, this is at an entry level. The bass is very dissapoitning.

I would recommend this to a friendFailed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connected to a new Sony 75" X85J TV. HDMI connection worked well, except the volume control. The sound bar volume changes very slowly. Annoying when you want the volume changed NOW. Sound was good with plenty of bass. The TV is used as a PC monitor. The sound bar was mostly used to Bluetooth music from my phone, but the TV sounded fantastic. Problem... about a week was all the sound bar lasted. It quit working all at once, as if the plug were pulled. Never to be heard from again. Returning it to the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLove this JBL Soundbar system!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I shopped for this with my daughter for a housewarming gift. I was an acoustical engineer for JBL and preferred this over the other brands and my daughter preferred it too. And the salesperson gave us a discounts of $100 for price matching. A win win!
I would recommend this to a friendWe like the better sound over our old system.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Best Buy associate arrived earlier than expected, went right to work and had the system install done quickly. He was very nice and polite through the whole experience. When he was done he showed us how the operate the system and patiently answered all our questions before he left.
I would recommend this to a friendSub cuts off
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was perfect for about a year and half. Now the sub keeps cutting in and out. I don’t know if it’s a connection thing but for 400 i would expect more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendHdmi is keep on losing the sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By using hdmi on the arc on the tv and when turn it off you have to adjust again and again until it detect the sound bar.. and i go to best buy again to buy the optical cord and also without turning off the sound bar but it sounds great.....

The Best !
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Nov 2020 but didn't open the box until May 2021. This with my 65 In Samsung TV is the best thing ever! I can hear the music throughout the house. The sound quality, value and easy set up makes this purchase WORTH IT.

Not worh it!!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Surprisingly JB;L 3.1 is better than 5.1. There are very minimal options on the remote. There is no sound mode. JBL3.1 has a bass level upto 30 whereas 5.1 only has 6. I didnt return and ended up keeping.
