    Absolutely the best soundbar I've ever had. The bass is incredible, and the surround sound is solid. Very reasonable price point as well at less than $400. Highly recommend!!

    I had purchased another system but returned it. The sales associate recommended the JBL 500. Easy setup and great bass that I wanted. Love the wireless subwoofer. The app connected right away.

    The sound quality is pretty good. I like the wireless sub-woofer's sound from where it sits on the opposite side of the room. It gives a very good surround sound effect; especially during action movies. I am not sure how the BAR 500 compares with other brands in the same price range. My only "complaint" is that the font size of the configuration instructions should/could be increased.

    I recently purchased the JBL Soundbar, and I’m absolutely blown away by the sound quality! The audio is crisp, clear, and immersive, delivering a rich, full-bodied sound that fills the entire room. Whether I’m watching movies, playing games, or listening to music, the soundbar enhances every experience with deep bass, clear vocals, and stunning clarity. The setup was incredibly easy, and it connects seamlessly with my TV and other devices. I love how it enhances both dialogue and action scenes, making everything feel more dynamic and realistic. The sound quality is on par with much higher-end systems, and the sleek design of the soundbar fits perfectly in my living room. If you're looking to upgrade your home entertainment system, I highly recommend the JBL Soundbar – it's a game-changer for your audio experience!

    JBL Bar 500

    Insane sound. Bought as a replacement for my Samsung sound bar and the differences are not even kind of comparable. The subwoofer is incredible (rattles the walls at its highest settling) and the ability for a sound bar to create surround sound on its own is top notch. 10/10 would recommend

    JBL's soundbar and subwoofer have changed by tv from something I watch, to something I truly experience. While the speakers in my new LG tv aren't that bad, they in no way compare to the JBL's. Sure, it's a little pricey, compared with the lesser offerings of other brands, but absolutely worth every penny.

    I love this thing. I originally considered a $1500 system with massive woofers but found this on sale. Having a 10" woofer really adds to the entire sound package. I wanted to feel the explosions and other effects and I'm not remotely disappointed having bought the cheaper unit. The Dolby Atmos is amazing. Hearing sounds from everywhere is surprising when it's coming from a single location. I've had to pause my TV several times to make sure it was the movie and not someone inside my home. Highly recommended but if you can afford the 1000 or the next higher than go for it instead. Perfect for small to medium sized rooms

    Excellent value! I got it on sale for $299. Fantastic bass with the 10" sub and the soundbar itself is very loud. Use the App to tweak it. The low end will hit 32hz and this system will vibrate your walls making things rattle. It leans on the punchy side, but still hits the low lows. Like I said adjust the EQ in the app to hit the sweet spot for you. Great for movies, music, and house parties. The virtual Atmos I can't really say much on, but the side speakers bouncing off the walls creates an awesome surround experience.

    Love this setup! Got it to replace the receiver and tower speakers so it wouldn't be as cluttered and have wires everywhere. Definitely don't recommend booking it up via Bluetooth because the connection was always lost. Hardwired it in after losing connection multiple times. Bass is just right and clear sound

    Exactly what we were looking for... More sound, more bass, for a decent price. I'm happy. When watching regular shows I only need the volume between 10-12. When people are over for football, it can go so much louder than our regular tv, it's crazy! And for music, just loving that we can bluetooth our phones to it.

    I come from a heavy music/sound backround and previously owned a 5.1.2 setup, it was old and definitley needed replacing and thought id try a high quality soundbar instead, and this soundbar completely blew our minds, it sounds sooo good, good bass, easy to hear the highs and lows and just overall blew our expectations for this soundbar
