Great but defective!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s great and all only I feel as if the one I bought was defective. It will not connect to my tv every so often and it’s becoming an issue to keep trying to re-connect it every time I turn my tv on.

I would recommend this to a friendBad Advice
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Samsung is 2016 and apparently that’s why the HDMI ARC does not connect with the sound bar. Instead using an optical cable. I told the sales representative about the age but he insisted “if there’s an HDMI ARC port then it will work”. Now I’ll never know what sound could have been.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Good sound but Lacking in bass
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the 500 soundbar and 10” sub and im gonna be honest, i was disappointed. The soundbar sounded really good and delivered good atmosphere but when it came to bass it was really lacking in it. You would think a 10” subwoofer would sound better than a samsung 6inch subwoofer. Decided to take it back and put together my own klipsch system (don’t recommend buying from best buy as they charge more than klipsch does on amazon or their own website)
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from JBL Support
Posted .Thank you for your feedback. Our JBL Bar 500 has on option to adjust the bass level from Level 1 to Level 5. This will allow you to adjust the bass to your preference. Subwoofer placement also place a role on the performance, although low frequencies are non-directional, room acoustics like reflections and standing waves make placement important, with corners often being the most effective spot.
Didnt care for the sound qaulity
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I expected a lot more from the system than what I received. The subwoofer itself really didn’t do much of anything. And the sound bar gives me the same issues of the single sound bar that I currently have. It’s a powering on and off issue that continues to happen on its own even when you have the device powered off it wants to constantly keep turning back on. And it’s not much better than the sound of the TV volume if I’m being honest. I can’t recommend this particular item just because of my own personal experience it was returned
No, I would not recommend this to a frienda sound that you will enjoy with your family

I would recommend this to a friendSound quality could have been better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker did not sync automatically with the subwoofer out of the box and no clear instructions. I had to Google how to do it manually. The sound is not that clear and the bass is inadequate

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked the JBL 9.1 sound bar so bought the bar 500 for a smaller room. The dialogue enhancement feature works really well for all types of movies. I highly recommend this product.
