Wish I could connect more than 1 sub
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would give this a 5 star if it were able to connect to more than one sub... that being said the one sub that does come with it hits pretty hard. I have a large area the sound bar and sub are in and this was the best one that had out when I purchased it. Just disappointed I can’t buy wirelessly connect more of these awesome subs.

Perfect soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good soundbar. I was checking for one to replace my lg soundbar. The sound is clear and crisp. Would recommend to anyone who want an inexoensive soundbar. Wait for good deals instead of spending $600.

Subwoofer randomly goes out
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and powerful bass but the subwoofer randomly goes out and it’s extremely frustrating. I read some reviews and it seems like this is common because of the WiFi router in the same area. I moved the router and the sub still goes out. Idk what else to do

Excellent sound!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We're "old" and still love the walls to shake every now and then. This soundbar has a very nice bass that is adjustable from low, medium or high. This replaced a very nice 6.1 amplifier we had for many, many years. We didn't think there was any way we would get this kind of sound from a soundbar.

Easy set up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want to upgrade from you TV speakers without breaking the bank, give this unit a try. Not a lot of options with this unit, but it's easy to use and will upgrade your sound. 5 bass options are the extent of the options. Easy set up!

Perfect fit. Not too fancy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this is just what we were looking for!! The sound is decent...IDK if I am missing something yet, but I do wish there was a way to turn down the the sub speaker. I haven’t dug in to see if we can yet...but there are some shows that the sub is louder than I’d like! But overall a great price for good quality sound!

Excellent sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar gives you the full effect of having speakers placed all around you. Great sound and bass for this system. I definitely would replace my original system that has mini speakers and sub with Yamaha receiver. The sound is just as good if not better and way easier to set up.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is amazing. The only thing that is frustrating is that when I turn it off and turns back on automatically and connects to the tv. I have to unplug it so that I can use the tv speakers. I have it connected with the HDMI cable.

Sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great sound bar. It has wireless Bluetooth and even Airplay 2 (although you have to constantly pair the airplay since it loses its pairing for some reason) otherwise I really enjoyed this sound bar and even bought another one.

Butterfly
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have high frequency loss fron the military and the normal speakers of the tv are not the greatest. This external system has a clearer range that helps me to pick up the higher end better without hearing aids. Plus my family that are into music and play instruments love it.

The Best Sound!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Now my home theater is complete!! I have tried Samsung speaker systems in the past and none have sounded this great! However, I must admit the prior systems mentioned were only 200 - 300 watts; This JBL is 550w!! I like the "Feel" of the sound. Action Movies Never Sound Better!!

WORTH!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went to pick up a cheaper Samsung and ended up buying this one. Was skeptical and figured I would end up returning. What TV sound could be worth $600? THIS ONE is the answer. I am blown away. Simple controls and amazing sound.
