Best soundbar I’ve had. Base is great. These soundbars are a great option if you don’t have a surround sound system.

Sounds GREAT! Excellent buy, worth every penny. We tried others in store but they all sounded muffled. I’d spend the money if you want a sound bar like this one

This is a good soundbar especially if looking for Atmos. Music and movie playback is good.
This is a perfect setup for a small room and the flexibility of the detachable surround speakers is a bonus.
The major issues with this soundbar are:
1. Lack of an interface or app to know what software update happened.
2. Frequent disconnect of the surround speakers.
3. Low dialogue volumes.
4. Configuration doesnt work most of the time.

This sound bar is amazing! Completely wireless Bluetooth connection to the sub and remote rear speakers. The rear speakers can be left as part of a single sound bar or hung from the included hangers. Sound and bass are excellent and loud enough to fill any room. Probably one of my favorite bestbuy purchases to date.

Pros:
- Detachable wireless rear speakers are perfect for my living room layout
- Sound quality is generally excellent for shows/movies that have good audio mixing
- Subwoofer has more than enough power (I have to turn it down to not scare the dogs)
- Atmos height audio contributes to overall immersion
- Bluetooth and Chromecast for music streaming adds flexibility if you don't have compatible music apps on your TV
Cons:
- eArc is fussy with my TV set (see below)
- Room calibration tool took multiple tries and I'm not sure if it did anything
- Only one HDMI IN port
- Occasional audio drops (for me, only when watching Dolby Atmos movies on HBO Max... app issue?)
- Occasionally weird audio filtering is applied when listening to music
For reference, I have a Sony XBR-75X900H set, so not all of this will apply to you. Bought this set because the wife would not allow visible wires anywhere around our living room. Setup with my TV was easy (this was prior to my TV's HDMI 2.1 update), and after a couple of adjustments to the limited EQ options from the JBL remote (Atmos, sub, and rear speaker volume), I was off and running.
Couple months later the HDMI 2.1 update came and I immediately went to enable eArc so that I can have full audio bandwidth glory for my TV and PS5. That's where I experienced my first full-on audio drop where it just went mute and never came back. Restarting the TV didn't resolve it. I had to unplug the TV and soundbar completely in order to get it working again. Both the soundbar and TV have received updates since then, but I still cannot get eArc to work for a long period of time before dropping out, so I've disabled it for the time being.
Hard to judge the soundbar on a connectivity level since it and the TV rely on each other and I don't have another TV to plug the JBL into.
As far as audio goes, movies/TV shows sound phenomenal with it, and the ability to dock the rear speakers to enhance the soundstage is a great feature. I haven't run into the rechargeable rear speakers dying on me yet, but you can plug them in via micro USB if you want.

JBL Bar 9.1 About What I Expected
|

Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The JBL Bar 9.1 is a great sounding bar while giving you Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound processing. The wireless rear speakers work best when they’re within 15 feet of the bar. Any farther away than that and they begin to cutout. The sub is the best part of the system. It will easily shake the room and sounds better than my Velodyne sub. My only wish is that you could control the volume on the front and center channels. Would be nice if it had a manual EQ as well. It’s a little pricey, but you’re essentially getting 10 speakers and a receiver/processor. I’m enjoying it!

Sounds good, the bass didn't hit as hard as I wanted, compared to Bose module 700, the mids and highs sounded awesome, hated to return it.

This is a good sound bar it has strong highs and bass. Watching Dolby atmos is amazing that subwoofer is the strongest in the market. Now as great as it is it lacks technology. It’s rears sound good but they do seem to loose signal. There’s no app for and not much customization with highs. Definitely great for someone wanting something basic. It sounds great playing atmos with speakers docked and better when placed behind you. Did I return it yes but it’s been the best sound bar thus far. Better than sonos arc

Big BASS. Clear vocals and great for music. When you take the side speakers and place them for atmos movies it sounds surreal.
