Terrible sound and lack in controls
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a huge disappointment!!! When I tested the soundbar out in the store it sounded really good but when I purchased the item and brought it home, it sounded so different from the store display. For having a 10 inch subwoofer, the bass was very weak even on max setting. Speaking of settings, there was absolutely no control over treble or the center channel speaker or of any channels on the soundbar. I was in shock and the lack of controls and the lack in bass. There really isn't much to say other than this was a huge disappointment. I found many JBL products in the past than this one was such a let down.

Constant cut outs
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Subwoofer is constantly cutting out and stopping. There is crackle in the soundbar. If it wasnt for those huge things i would have given it 4-5 stars. The sound is great and the subwoofer hits like a hammer. BUT, it cuts out too much to enjoy it. Might be returning it.

Decent sound quality though is lacking bass.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has a decent sound if you’re not picky. Not compatible for video-karaoke installation or needs additional technical support if it does. May be good only for audio-video watching purposes, not intended for karaoke use. BestBuy representative was very helpful in finding ideas how to possibly connect this unit to my appliance, but had to return it eventually.

Not worth getting
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looking for a sound bar and I came a cross JBL 5.1 sounds very good in the store. So I purchased the sound bar because of the sound that I heard. But when I hook up a soundbar to my TV the sound that I heard in the store was not the sound that I heard at home. I bought the 5.1 but it sound like I bought a 2.1
