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!

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

Snall size packs a huge punch. Awesome sound quality.

not gonna lie, i’ll never regret buying this soundbar, its like the best.

glad sale person talked me into the jbl system wow

For a soundbar and sub combo it was good. It didn’t have an option to change frequencies or adjust the sub bass without the sound bar base so when the bass is up it muddies the clarity. My wife and kids loved it, but for $900 I returned it.. then went and spent big money on a full theater instead.

Read and follow directions, disable your VPN if you have one, and anticipate critical steps like connecting to power, removing / replacing auxiliary speakers, pressing multiple buttons at once and daily use. Setup is detailed, but it works.

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.

Good experience, reasonable pricing, helpful staff

All its good Awesome sound 100 .. Of 100 good good

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.

My dog love it, he gets confused with the 3D sound, he runs to the front door barking, i have to open the door so he can check no one is out there, if not... he just keep barking at it.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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
