Really fantastic sound bar!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned a few sound bars through my lifetime, including a wonderful JBL 3.1 Soundbar that really thumped, but died after 5 years. This is BY FAR the best sound bar I have ever owned. The bass thumps, the detachable rear channel speakers sound great(wifi and no plugs plus an almost 10 hour battery life), and the center channel has wonderful clarity!!! This is definitely worth the $1000 price tag, as it really is head and shoulders better than any other sound bars available. ATMOS really makes it sound great, but anything sounds great through this sound system.

Excellent soundbar!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve never owned a sound bar before. I have a normal sound system in my home theater so I bought this for the bedroom. It’s definitely overkill on the price, considering I don’t crank this thing up in the bedroom, however I liked all the features and it sounds very good overall. I love the wireless satellite speakers and I keep the power wires plugged in and easily hidden. That’s just an option. You can just keep them attached and charged on the main speaker and put them in rear position when needed. They last a good bit on charge. Also mounting is fairly easy and they provide you with everything you’ll need to accomplish this.

My poor neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing sounds truly amazing! It's like every square inch of my apartment becomes immersed in sound. Movies, especially horror got me looking behind my back and it takes gaming up a serious notch as well. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is the two detachable speakers do not charge while the unit is on but I can change them using a separate adapter so no big deal. Really love this system!

Decent Soundbar with Poor Form Factor
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm very annoyed with this soundbar. On paper, the concept of a convertible, easily detachable speaker system is fantastic. In reality it's a pain in the tuckas to use. Yes, detaching the surrounds is stupid simple, the problem is they don't really do a good job of holding a charge and it's annoying always having to remember to reattach the speakers after watching a movie. Even when the surrounds are attached there are times when it doesn't want to charge for some reason. I got so tired of detaching and reattaching the speakers that I now don't even bother as I don't think it's worth the "effort." The sound quality is good and better than my Sony HT Z9F (?) Atmos Soundbar. But has way too much base, with little nuance. It's just loud. Also you have to lay the surrounds flat so the sound seems to go up, but not directional towards you/me. But at least I don't have to constantly worry about charging the surrounds. Also the Soundbar doesn't have an onscreen menu so after 5 months, I still haven't figured out how to connect the WiFi or Bluetooth. Improvement Suggestions Include a Power Option to the Surrounds Include Speakers that face outwards and not just Upwards Add Onscreen Settings Menu

Amazing and versatile
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar is awesome! I'm loving it. I tried out three other sound bars from reputable companies before buying this one and this one by far and press me the most. I love the versatility I've been able to detach speakers for the sound bar to place them in the rear and give you a full surround sound. Feel. The system does a great job of enveloping you in the sound. What was most amazing was when I was trying out the system with movies I had seen before and how different the movie sounded and provided more theater like experience.

Lovely sound and great Bass!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this about a month ago, and I'm completely satisfied with it, the size and sound compliment the room i have it set in. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the lack of EQ , also the detachable speakers could be a little louder but im super happy with my purchase. On a side note, when I first received my shipment, one of the brackets for the sound bar went into the bass port causing it to ding around inside the bass box, I was able to get it out but it was still a little aggravating that they did not separate that from the bass port

Easy wireless set up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great, easy way to get a modest home theater surround sound system without having to run wires or install mounts. Even though it does come with mounts, I just put the surround sound speakers on the kitchen island behind me. The bass is terrific. You don't get the crisp highs that you would get with a higher end system but it's sufficient for me. I did have an issue with the sound cutting out for a split second but it was quickly resolved when I changed the output compression in my tv and cable box. I stream SiriusXM to it from my browser as well as Spotify. Works like a charm.

Great value for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this in hopes of upgrading my tv’s sound without breaking the bank. Definitely did not disappoint. PROS Looks amazing Detachable speakers make for a clean set up whenever you want The subwoofer is FANTASTIC. Definitely beats similarly priced setups on its own. CONS Set up can be confusing no app functionality to guide you along. Only a set of lights and a guidebook. Once detached, the satellite speakers aren’t as loud as I’d like. Even in DOLBY atmos the sound was a bit dull. Would suggest that this set up is perfect for a medium sized room.

Ed's Sound Rating.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product through my experiences with other sound systems over the years. Sound fantastic let alone the surround sound effect, perfect. Best thing I like most are the detachable coedless rear speakers which work perfectly place at each side of my end tables and charge directly to my Sofas with charging capability. This could be my last search for better Sound Systems ever on the market today. Recommended for other prospective buyers. You won't regret.

Amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best sound bar I have ever had . Got it open box and once it updated the only issue I have that only happens on rare occasions is the no sound which is probably the TV more than the sound bar. But that is a easy fix just switching the TV settings for HDMI arc off and then back on works every time. And the add bonus of being able to remove the side speakers and mount them when needed.

JBL 9.1 Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love this. Our home is wired with in ceiling speakers (stereo) and Control 4 whole home remote control when we purchased it. The Control 4 gurus were not able to provide us with the control we wanted of our audio/video gear at a reasonable price so we opted to buy the JBL 9.1 bar. The only thing I wished it had is a way to plug in the satellites to power. This thing works great for the TV watching and music in our main room. We are fortunate to have a home theatre also for watching movies. It has a totally separate system.

Fantastic sound bar makes a massive difference
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this. Have a Vizio p75-C9 that I connected it to in a large room with sparse furniture and ceramic floor tiles. The TV audio by itself was incredibly difficult to understand given the bad acoustics, but using the JBL bar (especially with the detachable rears and self-configuration) sounds absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend (and have already had several friends/family already ask for the link to order their own)

JBL 9.1 Bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great sound bar with powerful dynamics, surround performance, and sound quality. The reason I didn’t keep it and gave to a family member was due to the downward-facing sub and no way of customizing it with sound enhancements. It’s disappointing for a sound bar that is $1K. However, I feel the room correction feature helped with this a bit but I personally like settings of preference. The subwoofer does a nice job with bass and rumble but even in an apartment building that is near sound proof, it’s not a great option to have.
