    Bought 2 of these for 2 rooms. Main sound is good in a large room. Subwoofer is excellent. 1 is used on a year old Samsung TV but won’t connect through the optical cable and have to use the BT connection. The other on a ‘cheaper’ Onn TV the optical cable works just fine. The most unfortunate thing is the neither of them seem to be able to power up automatically when the tv is turned on like other shound bars I’ve owned in the past.

      We're here to help with your JBL Bar 5.1 surround. To isolate the issue, please try to power on the soundbar alone first and see if it'll turn on. If your Samsung TV supports HDMI CEC, it should be able to control the basic functions of our JBL Bar 5.1, like the power and volume controls. We'd like to work with you directly. Please contact our customer support team for assistance. JBL

    Replaced a true 5.1 surround system. This soundbar in my new home with "vaulted" ceilings gives you the 5.1 feel without any wires, worth the money!

    Very quality sound bar, and the bass is very full. But I don’t think it’s as effective for surround sound as multiple speakers strategically placed around.

    A very nice sound system! I was replacing a non functioning Sony 2.1 system and this JBL sound bar is far superior. I’m very satisfied with this purchase!

    This was an open box, I got it at a very good price, I was surprised about the condition. It looks brand new except that the tapes were cut off. But really worth it, and the quality is very nice, this is my 2nd purchase of this item. The first one was a brand new when I bought it. They didn't have any stocks that's why I ended up buying an open box, but it was worth it. The sound that comes out from the sound bar is amazing on how small it is. You won't regret buying it.

    Excellent sound bar and sub woofer. You can feel the base when the movie or program has it. Much better than the surround sound that I use to have.

    After using this for several months, it really is a great value. Sinks up with tv or Apple TV Remote to so that you only have to use one remote, and the sorround is great. You can tell when they want you to feel the sound is coming from specific angles. I’d say it’s a bit focused on the highs for speech clarity. Voices don’t sound like form a tv, they sounds like if they were in person because of the highs you usually miss in other sorround sound. Can’t complain.

    We purchased an open box item, the salesperson looked at the counter in the department, didn't see the item so he took off to a different area which apparently was also used for storage. 30 seconds after he left to start his secondary search, my wife found the sub woofer and the sound bar setting behind a slim box that was particularly hiding it. We waited quite a while for the salesperson to make it back so we could show him what he was looking for. The product itself was simple to set up. Works great and we would recommend this as a sound bar to consider if you are looking for one.
