JBL soundbar
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great product. Have to have a app to adjust equalizer and if you dont have internet or wifi you cant connect to it so you will be stuck with factory settings.

JBL for the win
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After hours and hours of researching a good soundbar, I decided to go with this one and I am so glad I did! The sound is crystal clear. The subwoofer surprised me with how well it works. I haven't really had many connection issues but occasionally the sub will disconnect for a second or so. Not a deal breaker for me. I'd buy again!

Very solid for its price range
Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I try to write unbiased and fair reviews anytime I actually decide to leave one. I have a full sonos 5.1 system upstairs in my media room which replaced a monstrous klipsch component system. I consider myself to be pretty savvy with home theater and all that, and have very specific tastes for what I like about systems. I tried the Polk magnifi max, klipsch bar 48, 2 samsung bars and a bose 700 bar/sub combo before settling on this JBL. I give it a strong 4.0 rating based solely on the fact that I wish it had more bass at lower levels and had more EQ features. That being said, for the sale price of 449.99 this thing absolutely delivers. Was the bose better? Yes. Was the bose Bluetooth connectivity hot garbage? Yes. Was the bose app pure trash? Again yes. The jbl wins for my living room for a simple cost vs function aspect. The design is clean and crisp, looks much more expensive than it is. Clear dialog, solid bass and great for music and TV needs. When you crank it up, it will shake your walls and the sub performs very well. Like I mentioned earlier I just want more of that at lower volume levels. Great buy if you want to upgrade, don't need atmos and want the most for your money.

Superior Sound
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that it has Apple airplay and chrome cast built in. Makes things easy when I want to play music from my iPhone while working out. The clarity of the sound is so buttery and upfront. You don't have to turn it up all the way just to hear it. I normally have the volume set at 10-15. Ill turn it up to 25 when I am watching a movie just for full immersion but even then it is super loud. I honestly have no idea how loud this thing gets because its so loud already that I have never tested it. The bass is BOOM BOOM BOOM. I live in an older home and the bass shakes my windows. THIS ISNT EVEN AT THE HIGHEST VOLUME. Very happy I purchased this, well worth it. For those having issues with buzzing sounds and such, you may need to adjust some settings on your TV or external device to get the right sound produced. Cheers.

Thumping bass!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So bottom line is ..this is a fantastic sound bar. I originally purchased the LG SN6Y based purely by listening to the demo track in store. Although it sounded pretty good at home I found I was craving decent bass that the LG did not have. So I went back to BB and bought the JBL to decide whether I would be happy keeping the LG or upgrading to the JBL and spending the additional 200 bucks. It's a total no brainer. There is no way I can go back to the LG. I'm boxing it back up and taking it back asap. There is nothing wrong with the LG, especially if you have a small room. It just has no good deep bass like the honkin 10 inch sub in the JBL. So happy I brought this bad boy home!
