    Easy to setup, no issues with eArc on a Sony tv, the bass is more than enough for a small to medium area for me, I think this is a good value compared to what's out there at this price point.

    I’m never disappointed with JBL and this sound bar hits all the marks. Bass is clean and low. The tone and sound quality is great!! Everyone that hears the quality asked if it’s a Sonos or Bose and I gladly tell em it’s a JBL. Big JBL fan here. Highly recommended!!

    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

    The surround sound is awesome. The only thing I think this model is lacking is more bass but that is just me. It plenty loud but I like to feel the music. I mostly use it for streaming music but if you are wanting theater sound this will deliver.

    Really great soundbar, I had an old sony 5.1 system and this perfectly emulates the surround sound from all angles. I was using it and turned back because I thought the sound was coming from behind or above. Really great upgrade Dolby Atmos is amazing. This is the future. Bye messy cables.

    When buying speakers of any kind, I like JBL. They perform beautifully, as does this unit. I also have a Bluetooth clip in the bathroom and it’s amazing how deep the bass is for such a small device. But this one is exceptional. Worth every penny.

    Great for sound bar for a decent price. Subwoofer out performs my old LG soundbar by far. The app/wifi sucks, it keeps disconnecting and you can’t control it from the app but I didn’t buy it for that.

    A good sounding bar for the price. Had a slight issue in setting it up but once i completed the task,it was up and running. Music sounded good along with movies and the sub woofer linked up automatically. It was a gift for a friend and she loves it. JBL has always mage good products.
