    Just like most of you I’m sure you’ve gone through sound bar after sound bar hoping that $150 ones will work. Now with Best Buy having sound bars needing to be sent out with total protect instead of just exchanging them at the store I decided to go with this model and we were not disappointed. The kids upstairs say it sounds like an earthquake at a moderate volume with the base on! We absolutely love it super happy with our purchase. I have it hooked up to a 75 inch Samsung.

    Bought this for my home theater. Sounds great in the space. I didn't want a traditional wired sound system, and projector. I went with this and an 85 inch TCL Q6 series TV. Much cleaner look and it sounds great action and horror movies especially, with the bass.

    This JBL BAR 500 is absolutely worth every penny. I purchased 2 other sound bars in the same price range and they didn't even have the range this one has. The bass is amazing and the JBL app makes it nice and easy to fine tune the sound that best suites my space.

    I recently purchased a JBL system from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I put it to the ultimate test by playing Kendrick Lamar’s album, and WOW—the beats, the sound clarity, and especially the bass absolutely blew me away. It felt like I was in a live concert! This system delivers such a powerful and immersive audio experience that it’s worth every penny. If you’re on the fence, trust me, you won’t regret it. Highly recommended!
