Customer Ratings & Reviews

I replaced my almost 20 year old Logitech wired system with this one. The sound quality is great and not needing to run cables all over the place is wonderful! The rechargeable rear speakers connect easily to the sound bar (I use a WiFi connection) and the fact that I can stream directly from my iPad or iPhone to the base was a real selling point to me.

I came from a dedicated 5.1 system for 15 years to this, my first soundbar. I was a skeptic, and I was wrong. Dial is clear, this thing can go loud, and to my surprise, the Atmos actually works! It's probably not the cleanest sounding soundbar to an audiophile, but the truly wireless speakers work great and that's a feature that puts this system as one of the best to me.

Beautiful immersive sound. The bass is just such a compliment

Great product for the money. I am very happy with it-the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the rear speakers will cut out every once in a while. They are quick to re-connect but a little annoying. But it is perfect for the space of the room that I have.

My sound bar performance delivered as expected. It is perfect for ur home theatre.

Overall, the system sounded pretty darn good. The biggest issue was that it would suddenly cut out completely… very annoying! However, BB took it back without question and I purchased the SONOS surround system. Now that’s an awesome system!!!

Love the sound of this JBL and ease of use with our TV.

Sound is amazing and the best part is the bass. Worth every penny

Good sound from the bar, but the rear speakers are too quiet. Very quiet effects and even music is really low. The wireless rears may be a good concept but I don’t think it’s suitable for home theater. Overall a good system, just be aware of the rear speakers.

This product is amazing for movies. For music it is lacking. I wish the speakers didn’t have to be charged. You need to connect them to the sound bar to charge. You can connect the satellite speakers with a micro usb to usb cord to a power adapter instead. It’s a personal choice. You don’t have the option to change bass, etc.

Got this for my husband... he absolutely loves it! I don’t like being jolted awake by the sound of an action movie at 6am on a Saturday, but I’m glad the sub works so well! It’s worth the money and we like that the speakers are detachable so you can put them wherever you want. We can take them out on the patio, into another room and still listen to music.

Its a real good product!! Husband and the family loved it!!

Easy to set up and sounds wonderful in my entertainment room!

I like this soundbar very much! Using it with an epsom projector via Bluetooth. The rear speakers have to be charged on the main soundbar. Not sure but right speaker isn’t holding charge as long. Still testing but overall a fantastic experience.

Sound bar sounded horrible at first. After some research, found out it defaults to simulated surround (smart mode) no matter what the source is and the only way to turn it off is to use a secret key combination (hold mute button for 5 seconds then volume up). Would be okay but if you turn the sound bar off or it goes to sleep, you have to do the process again. JBL is aware of the issue but no firmware update as of yet. For the price of the sound bar, I should be able to set it and forget it. Or, at the bare minimum, have a single button to push and not have to go through forum after forum to find the secret combination to turn "smart" mode off. I've used JBL for years in their pro audio speakers, amps, etc. Just expected more for a premium price.

Great sound. Easy setup. Very good and an immersive experience.

This is a great sound system. Took a while to get since they sell out quickly in stores but it was worth the wait! It is so much better than anything we have had before! True surround sound. I love the wireless rear speakers that charge on the main sound bar. Super easy install. A little pricey but definitely worth it for great sound.

Came from the 3.1, 5.1 and now own the 9.1. Jbl keeps pushing away. The bass and voice even out beautifully. The dolby atmos is amazing. I had the sonos sub and sonos playbar. I couldn't get the sonos arc because or availability but this jbl system sounds on par with it. I will admit the sonos sub sounds better and clearer but for 500 dollars less. It is recommended.

There are only five things I would change with this so close yet so far audiophile setup. The first two are simple fixes but not full deal breakers, voice boost and more/custom EQ settings would be great additions. The other three are deal breakers to me. Two have to do with the rear speakers and one with the Atmos. 1) I was watching a Blu-ray of Harry Potter and the software tried to put the full sound of the movie through every speaker including the 4 Atmos speakers. This made random sounds misplaced that should only come from the front, left, right, or rear, but now came from all around even overhead. 2) When watching an Atmos or DTS-X, one of the rear speakers was majority of the time louder than the other refardless of battery charge. This would alternate between the left and right, as to why I do not know. 3) Last the batteries do not last 10 hours all the time. This varied from 1 to 10 hours even after charging all night. At times I would have to plug in the rear speakers just to finish a movie and be left with the display still stating to charge or plug in rear speakers. It was annoying that the display could not be turned off as it is distracting. Other times I would make it through one, two, or even three 2.5 to 3 hour movies before needing to charge. Overall) On the off chance that the rear speakers worked evenly on a full charge with a 4k UHD Atmos source, it would sound flawless. I had three superbly excellent experiences with Atmos; Aquaman 4k UHD disc, Ready Player One 4k UHD disc, and Altered Carbon through Netflix. If the height speakers would shut off when no Atmos or DTS-X was present, the battery life was consistent (or perhaps ditch the rechargeable and just make them wall plug in like the Samsung rear speakers on the Q90R/T), and equal sounding, without the left or right being louder throughout an entire movie would make this setup a masterpiece and one that could easily sell for $1,500 to $2,000. I sure hope the 2021 model improves upon these issues. If so I will be back to buy the next year's model!

Was looking at this for almost a year and finally decided to invest before football season. So glad I did as I just watched my preseason game and the sound is amazing! I normally don’t watch a whole lot of movies as I am a music person but watched a move yesterday and this rocked me out of the room! I love my new system for sure!
