'Open-box' accuracy is critical
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was supposed to be an 'open-box-excellent' but what I got was nothing more than the hardware in a torn-up box. Immediately returned.

Awesome sound for a great price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to add a theatre quality sound to my new 65” TV. Bought this JBL sound system at a great sale price and have not been disappointed! The sound from JBL Dolby Surround sound ATMOS system is fantastic! It’s like we are at the theater with the quality of sound this unit delivers. It truly makes movie watching more enjoyable. It s very easy to set up using the JBL app and the app also has a remote built in so you don’t always have to look for a misplaced remote. The app has a sound equalizer that allows you to set the sound settings to your specific sound and the bass has 5 output levels which can really put out some deep bass tones. I got the unit for less than $350 which is a great value for the sound quality this unit produces!

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