    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.

    Have had several sound bars in the past, this JBL sound bar is the best. Has the best sound and easy to operate as it should be. It stays powered up till you turn it off. It doesn't turn itself off for no reason (Yamaha). The sound is execlent and it just works. Couldn't be happier.

    Big improvement over an older Samsung 3.1 system with less power. This soundbar and subwoofer checks all the boxes. Great sound and bass. JBL app works great too. Syncs the sound to the room and you can also use your phone as a remote and also adjust EQ to your preference. App also updates software

    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
