    Really horrible experience and I wouldn't recommend this at all. It turns on repeatedly whenever your TV is in standby mode, even when all HDMI-CEC connections are disabled. The rear speakers therefore never charge unless I manually turn on the eco setting every night to force it into energy saving/sleep mode. I use it with an LG G1 and it constantly loses connection regardless of the device I am using. Forget watching a movie or playing a game to relax, because chances are you'll have to troubleshoot it at least once during said process. It sounds great WHEN it works, but right now that is pretty rare.

    When it works, great! Don’t buy, not yet...

    Here’s the deal everyone: when it works, it’s amazing! Here’s the bad that outweighs the good: it’s unreliable with my Samsung 4K TV and Apple TV 4K. So many glitches and the sound would literally just disappear and would have to go back to the menu, click play once again and resume the playback content. The first few times it was okay, but then it becomes constant and not worth the inconvenience. Even with the software upgrades it did not fix the issue, and I even bought new HDMI cables just in case, and we have have great WIFI so it’s not that either. I don’t recommend it guys, at least not yet, maybe in the future JBL will release a unit that’s a little more technologically stable, and I’ll be on board for sure.
