    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.

    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.

    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

    The sound is great. Unfortunately, after about a week, it just goes to MUTE and the ONLY way to fix this is to unplug it all. If I could, I'd take it back. Yah, the sound is good, the headache isn't worth it.

    For the money, the quality is not great. I would spend the extra few hundred dollars and go with Sonos!

    There's nothing overpowering about this, I bought it for the detachable speakers and they are average, at best. I am disappointed with the detachable speakers output.

    Ive had both models. The new model which is this on and the last model 9.1. The last models woofer was amazing. The bass in movies was ridiculous. The voulume max is 30. On the last model i at 16 i was amazed. At 30 it was ridiculous. I dont recommend this one. Im going in tomorrow to find something else.
