    Great sound and value. Only downfall is if your looking for more from ATMOS you need a 7.1 or 9.1 system and this is only 5.1. But with that said it is great for the price and audio delivery on movies is impressive. Plenty of bass with this system for impact on action movies.

    Had the JBL 500 soundbar for bout 2 months now and am satisfied. Sound quality is great, setup was easy. Very good for the price as compared to the much more pricey Yamaha that it replaced! Nice soundbar!

    The lady that helped me went above and beyond in customer service. I went in thunking i was getting a samsung soundbar and then I daw you had JBL Surround sound. She made sure I heard each surround sound system that you carry for Samsung and then compared them to each JBL. WOW!! I went with the JBL and she sure did help me. Unfortunately, I dont remember her name. The good news is that my husband and I love our new sound system!

    I've been using a Samsung soundbar with subwoofer the last several years and thought it was pretty decent, until I bought the JBL. You can hear so much more of the show you are watching and voices are very clear. Music is loud and sounds great. Numerous reviews complained about the size of the subwoofer. Yeah, it's a subwoofer, it's going to be kind of big. The dimensions are posted on BB's site so I could easily tell it would work fine with my setup. The initial setup is very easy. If I had a complaint it would be the included HDMI cable which does not seem to be ARC/eARC compatible, but that was resolved by using the cable I was already using on the Samsung. If you're considering this item, stop considering and buy it!
