    Blown away

    Excellent just excellent. This bar really does it all. Whooshing surround, super deep rumbling bass, and the most impressive part, dialogue clarity. Cleanest sounding soundbar I’ve ever heard, best you can buy without rear speakers. Don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed.

    Great Sound and Excellent Bass

    I was persuaded to get a Sony 2.1 system by the salesman when I was already leaning towards this system. I got the Sony home and yes it as a good value for a 2.1 system, it did not have the depth and bass I was looking for. I returned the Sony and purchased this and wow, what a difference. More watts, more speakers and way more bass. This is a great sound bar. Connection to HDMI (ARC) was easy. The only con I have is that the volume stops at 32 (Max). The Bluetooth connection to phone plays louder than feed thru TV. Subwoofer is behind the couch and when there is bass you can feel the rumble. Very satisficed with this purchase.

    BEWARE OF THE JBL 500!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had this soundbar for over a week and when it works the sound is terrific. The problem is it frequently cuts out. For a while if I hit the HDMI button on the remote it would recycle and work again. But finally it gave up the ghost completely and I cannot get it to work at all. And when it stops working so does my TV. I had to dig through 4 pages of reviews before I finally got to see that many other buyers have had similar problems. You see Best Buy lists the positive results ahead of the negative ones. They should stop doing this and list all reviews in the order that they are received like other sites do (i.e. Amazon). Anyway, it's obvious to me that while some people have no issues and love the product, other unfortunates like me have defective ones. Defective is the right word because JBL must be aware that some of their soundbars work while others do not. They refuse to address the problem because they have decided that it is more cost effective to just let it go. They sell a lot of them and it's just too bad for the poor souls like me who get a bad one. So as I said when it worked the sound was terrific but ask yourself if you want to take the chance on getting a good one when there are other brands out there that are not defective? I will be returning mine but since I stupidly trashed the box I will have to pay UPS to re-box it as well as stand in line for an hour at the UPS store. Thanks JBL!!

    Im not an audiophile but i am a bass lover. I knew JBL's bump and this does not dissapoint. I've had this for a week and if it blew up today i would buy another one. Most bass for the money

    I was very satisfied with the quality of this soundbar. The subwoofer hits super hard if you want it to, and the bar itself sounds great at all volume levels. I have recommended this soundbar to multiple people in my family, its great!

    Overall great performing soundbar. Immersive for gaming and movies. Music sounds great as well. I wish adding rear speakers in the future was an option, but I was aware of this before I purchased.

    This soundbar is a great improvement over the 3.1

    I had JBL soundbar before the 1st one was the 1st generation 3.1 model and i was phenomenal. I wanted a upgrade and I try sony buy it was disappointment. I ended up going back to this JBL 500 sound bar with is the same as 5.1. It uses the beam technology to bounce sound from sides. I think they could done a better job specially with dolby atmost. Music is where this bar stand out. In addition, some sound modes would make a difference. My advice for the price you pay is this JBL 500 or a sony ht-g700.
