    Maintaining budget of $500 or less, JBL BAR 500 was best option and on sale at $400. Sound & quality reflects reviews - paired with Sony OLED A80L 77” TV.

    Good price range. Sound quality is good overall, but the sub doesnt have a crossover. For the same price, the SB350 of old is hands down 1000% better.

    Sound is great especially for the price...but the controls for sound are mediocre at best. no real choices and have to use an app for mostly everything making the remote mostly useless. Also cannot get it to work with roku or tv remote making a one remote situation impossible
