Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently bought an LG C4 77" TV and, while the picture is incredible, the sound was underwhelming—especially in my larger room (14' from couch to screen). I was looking at the LG 3.1 system to stay under $1000, but the store rep warned that it might not be enough for my space. He showed me the JBL Bar 500 and 1000, and after hearing the 1000, I was sold. The JBL Bar 1000 sounded amazing—loud when I wanted it, crystal clear dialogue, and deep bass. The rep also mentioned you can fine-tune the sound through both an EQ system or room calibration using the remote or iOS app, which is a huge plus. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I’m seriously blown away and very happy. The setup was super easy—literally just take it out of the box, hook it up to the TV, and you’re good to go. I had it up and running in minutes. What really surprised me, though, was the detachable, wireless rear speakers. These are battery-operated, so you can place them anywhere you like, calibrate the sound to your room, and they just work. They last about 10 hours per charge and recharge easily by magnetically snapping them back onto the soundbar. The subwoofer comes with the system, and it’s wireless too! I hid it behind the couch, and it blends in perfectly. It really brings the bass to life, adding another layer of depth to the sound. I’ve had a wired Bose system before, and the JBL easily rivals it in sound quality, without the installation hassle. I connected it via HDMI eARC to the TV, and everything works perfectly. As an avid music fan, I love that I can stream music from my phone via AirPlay and even sync it with my Sonos speaker in the kitchen for seamless sound throughout my first floor. I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about going with JBL over LG, but I’m so happy I did. This system offers fantastic sound at a much lower cost than other high-end options. If you’re on the fence, just pull the trigger—highly recommend!

While detachable rear speakers seems like a cool idea it doesn’t really work. It takes away from the sound from the center channel too much to be worth the 1k price tag

Nice set up. But had issues with the bass. No matter how i set it up I couldn't get any bass. Watched you tube videos. No luck. Also you have to charge the side speakers often. Nice system i just couldn't get it to work

Good experience, reasonable pricing, helpful staff

Sound is amazing! However, the subwoofer has gone out and was not covered by any warranty. When you pay this much for a sound system you expect it to last a good while but this did not. Give it a second thought and shop around.

I don’t think it is performing as well as the one in the store but I’m pretty sure it’s because I haven’t ever set one up before…but I’m learning!

The sound is ok… the surround sound is not very good… even at the max setting, it’s hard to hear sound coming from the ‘rear’ speakers … I expected better from a JBL system that cost over $1,100. We’re considering returning / exchanging this system.

I purchased the JBL Soundbar to replace an older Sony soundbar. The detachable rear surround speakers were very easy to set up.

Although the item was an open box item. It works like new. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

when I came into the store I was interested in a Bose but the lady waiting on me talked me into the bbl and I love it

Idem sounds better in store than my house. Problems after problems

Very weak rear speakers, and loses signal frequently. I noticed one of the rear speakers disconnected from base while being connected the whole time. Has potential, definitely some work on the vocal clarity and the option to hear clear voice when watching tv at night.

It has decent sound - not a powerful Subwoofer if you like to feel the sound, you may want to check other options. For the price you pay I say it’s good.

Very well explained of questions and concerns that I had. Loved the service that I was given.

Not as powerful as jbl 9.1 older version. It's good for small living room I'd say such 2br apartment max

There is no volume control for commercials. Was told it had surround sound ---- not for voice.

Bought for a gift just reviewing so i can have a chance to win 400 gift card.

I’m very happy with this product I would definitely recommend to someone else.

Not good for dialog. Bought this thinking that Dialog would improve from the rear speakers only to find that a much cheaper bar with rear speakers on the same TV had a much better conclusion

Great purchase.I would recommend this item for your entertainment area!
