Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good sound system for the money. Subwoofer works real well. I’m enjoying the product so far. The only complaint is when I turn the sound bar on it makes a loud noise indicating it’s working. But after that, I’m OK with how it works and the quality of sound.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a very nice sound system. My only complaint is that is doesn’t automatically connect to my tv when I turn it on. Also when it is shut off, it makes a loud crackling sound some of the time. They have great sound!

Superb soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For 5-7 years I was getting by with a simple Vizio 2.1 soundbar. I was looking to upgrade my tv and soundbar to a new level. I chose to go the sound bar route first. A friend of mine recommended the 2.1, but I decided to go ahead for the 5.1. Super easy install with an equally easy setup/connect. I was blown away with the clarity of the sound and the power of the sub. I was equally amazed when I could hear the audio from the right and left side of me. I wouldn’t recommend this to someone who lives in tight quarters or in an apartment. I had a small gathering just to show this to my buddies. After having them watch Top Gun and Tron, a few of them bought it several days later. If you aren’t looking to go all out on a audio, this is a great alternative without having to spend a lot of money. Note it does go on sale.

Best soundbar for the $ hands down!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive really been enjoying this sound bar. Definitely has the best sound and bass, then anything else in its price range. Sounds great with movies and music. The wireless subwoofer is awesome and a clean look. No messy wires.

Great sound and solid bass
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the JBL soundbar with 10" subwoofer to replace a Sony unit that had impressed me with it's sound quality but had a much smaller subwoofer that couldn't really fill my large living room. (The Sony was also less than 1/2 the price.) When the Sony subwoofer quit on me, I knew I wanted something with a larger, more powerful subwoofer. The JBL has not disappointed! The bass is fantastic and the overall sound quality is very good. The only minor (very minor) issue is that the soundbar doesn't respond to my TV remove as quickly as I would like when I change volume. It works fine, but seems to take at least 1/2 a second to initially respond and then changes volume more slowly as I hold the button on the remote than the Sony (or the TV speakers without the soundbar). Not really that big a deal given how infrequently you actually change the volume - and there's always the mute button.

Great Buy!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have never used a sound bar with our tvs in the past. The salesman convinced us to add this to our tv purchase. My whole family has thoroughly enjoyed the soundbar. We even use it to connect to music from our phones. Very nice sound performance.

Great Soundbar

Transformative experience

No more need for subtitles thanks to the 5.1 set up. The sub also puts out some great vibrations. Perfect for the price.

JBL does it again!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great setup for those who want to enjoy superb bass and good treble without looking to blow your mind with volume. The soundbar itself is good with voices and music but it could be crisper and clearer especially at low volume. While there is no distortion in high volume, there is room for improvement to improve the mids and highs. The 10-inch subwoofer as expected is loud and gives you a good thump for music and groundbreaking action movie scenes. You can definitely feel the bass across your room without any muddy sounds. Overall, great setup and worth the money when it's on sale!

Very good system for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is excellent. Pairing with Sony tv occasionally doesn't sync. Recommended by Geek Squad member over more expensive models. Only complaint is that I wish it was jet black instead of smoke grey to match tv better.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought the Samsung 650 series but didn’t like it that much. I bought this one instead, and it sounds so much better. The description says it has a 12-inch sub, but it’s actually 10 inches. Still, it sounds awesome!
