    This bar provides excellent sound at a very reasonable price. Had guests over and they could not believe how crisp and clear the sound was. Well worth the price.

    Bought a Sonos and returned it the next day to purchase this JBL. I’m so glad we did and we love it! It’s perfect for our living room and needs. Also my old self was actually able to learn the functions immediately.

    Works well with my Samsung OLED. Unless one is an audiophile, I don’t see the need to spend much more. On the other hand, cheaper soundbars pale by comparison.

    Best bang for your buck, wait for it to go on sale, I purchased it for $400 well worth the money for this price. Came from a Klipsch sound bar and it is equally as good.
