    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!!

    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.

    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.

    Nice sound bar, was really easy to set up. Sound is great and I like the deeper bass. Sleek looking speaker, Fits nicely at the base of my television. Makes listening to music fantastic. Able to hookup my iPhone and iPad to listen to music from them.

    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.

    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.
