    had my TV hooked up through my 5 channel stereo system, so was not expecting a huge difference. very surprised at the change in sound quality. Never really needed a subwoofer for my music, but it really changes the TV viewing. Also makes the speech much clearer. Very Happy.

    Purchased a Bose 600 but returned it as sound quality was not as desired. Purchased the JBL 5.1 and immediately noticed better sound quality than Bose. Even though the JBL had a defect in the front facing cover, still better value than Bose.

    This sound bar does a very good job with atmos and has great bass from the woofer. The sound cuts in and out in the center during dialogue and sounds crackly on occasion. I will be returning or exchanging.

    Needed a good sound bar to go with the new 75 inch TV we bought. Went to Best Buy to see about sound bars and listened to a couple and decided to do some research. This sound bar went on sale during Christmas and we decided to purchase it. The sound bar is the perfect fit and the surround sound is amazing.

    This soundbar makes you feel like you're in the movies, 10/10 would recommend for anyone that watches a lot of TV or movies. Not as good if you primarily watch sports but definitely still works for noise.
