    The subwoofer on this is fantastic, it shakes the house! The soundbar needs work, it gets very loud for background noise but when it comes to hearing someone talking it really fails! Have to keep it loud to hear someone speak then BOOM background noise is so loud! I hope they have an update for it soon....

      We're sorry to hear about what happened. Here are some troubleshooting steps for us to check your JBL Bar 9.1 Surround: 1. Try using a different source ex. (phone, tablet) and connect via Bluetooth for us to check if the sound of the soundbar would still be the same. 2.Try watching or playing music from different sources ex. (Netflix, YouTube, cable box). 3. Try connecting the soundbar to a different TV to check the audio. 4. Please make sure that the audio settings of your TV is set to Bitstream. If you need more assistance, please contact our customer support. JBL

    Super disappointed in Best Buy

    Terrible support. Sound system continues to give us sound issues, which seems to come from the Dolby Atmos. Also bought a high end LG tv, the extra warranty and geek squad support. After several attempts to get support for pur issue, Best Buy refuses to send out Geek Squad, and also refuses to let us even speak to the Geek Squad (or anyone that can offer support). Have been a lifelong Best Buy customer, but after spending 6k on tv, sound system, extended warranty and Geek Squad support, I will never spend another dime with them. Nor will I reccomend them to others as I used to. Used to think they had world class support, now they just take your money and offer no support like everyone else. Live and learn.
