    I love this sound bar. I’ve had a few sound bars over the years. LG, Samsung, Pioneer, to name a few. The Bar500 sound bar is by far the best I’ve owned. The sound quality is superior and crisp! Highly recommend

    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.

    Awesome addition to wall mounted TV. Spend the extra money for this unit compared to the low cost entry level units. Strong base, typically set to 3 of 5 levels. Bluetooth allows you to stream music too. Was reluctant to replace multiple speaker system with separate receiver for this unit but happy with the choice.

    This is an excellent product at a great price point. There are cheaper models, but the sound quality of the JBL is worth the extra cost. The sound is remarkable!

    This sound bar and woofer combo is amazing. The 3d sound technology and the clarity and JBL bass is unbelievable. You hear every note and some of the sounds I've never heard in the music I normally listen to I was able to hear them. It's like being in a movie theater and a live concert in your house

    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.
