Big Sound!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar and base unit combo are amazing. Great surround sound when all speakers are in front, but even better when you remove the detachable rear speakers and place them behind your seating area. True surround sound without tripping over wires. If you like heavy base in your sound experience, you won't be disappointed. This thing thumps!

Best Soundbar EVER!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical due to the price tag. My older $150 soundbar lasted me 10 years before I considered a replacement. Like most of you I check reviews from multiple sites before purchasing, I had rewards points banked, so i cashed in quite a few of them in order to purchase this at a semi reduced price. set up is easy, I tried the optical and HDMI ARC to see which one sounds better, the ARC connection produced flawless sound throughout the volume range. Set-up was a breeze (only issue is if you are going to mount it underneath the TV or wall mount, under TV ensure you follow your TV mounts recommended procedure, for wall mount the soundbar comes with brackets and instructions for proper installation) The wireless surround sound is AWESOME, you can detach the speakers and place them for proper sound and depending upon what you are listening too or watching they average around 10-12 hours before having to remount them to the sound bar for charging. also you can plug these in to a regular 110 outlet (via not supplied micro USB charging cables and the corresponding outlet plugs.) I have mine mounted and powered via the micro USB, but having the option to remount them to the soundbar is a huge benefit if you entertain and want to use it for music via Bluetooth or your local cable provider music channel and you want more directional music verses surround sound. Overall, I waited over a month before providing this review and this soundbar has performed flawlessly, I would most-definitely purchase again!

A+ on Sound. F on Firmware Updates.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before I bought the JBL 9.1, I tried Samsung, Sonos, and Visio Dolby Atmos home theater systems with my Hisense 65" U8G and my Apple TV 4K, 2nd Generation. The JBL 9.1 is the best, and it's not close. Voice, bass, surround, and atmos are robust and clear at even the highest volume. The 3D location/sound effects are top shelf. And the 9.1 can get very loud if that's what you want. For music, the 9.1 is just as excellent. Listening to Apple Music's Dolby Atmos pop/rock playlists puts you in the middle of a live concert for every song. It's no wonder because JBL makes most high-end, highly regarded commercial and home theater systems. One thing though. Don't update the firmware. The factory firmware is perfect out of the box. But each firmware update lessened the volume and the atmos/surround effects until the effects didn't work at all. Performing a factory reset fixed all the issues. So the 9.1 gets an A+ on sound and an F on firmware updates.

Godlike bass
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound system is the best I’ve ever had. It has amazing clarity and amazing bass. I would absolutely pay the extra money to get this if you’re thinking about getting a cheaper system but you have the money. I just wish the two back speakers would turn on automatically when you turn on the main speaker. Other than that it’s fantastic.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched all comparable sound bars and kinda skeptical settled on order the JBL. From opening the box to having the sound system up and running with my OLED TV, it took less than 15 min. A very simple install and user friendly system. Love the wireless rear speakers that automatically connect to the sound bar (like the sub). Atmos sound watching Star Wars literally shook my house!
