    This is one of the best sound bars out there! Very good sound quality and earth-shaking bass. Did I mention it was also great for music? This is my second JBL 10 inch sound bar as I also have the JBL 5.1

    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.

    We went to the store looking for a soundbar for my TV and to replace the old Samsung surround sound. Our first thought was we were gonna look at the Bose system however, they did not have any in the store, and we happened to run into this JBL on display. It sounded great in the store and we thought, will we get the same quality sound at home. so we purchased it and boy let me tell you, this is one of the Best purchases we've made. This soundbar did not dissapoint, the sound is phenomenal and it makes my TV experience so much greater. Our daughter, who is a Millennial, came over to check out our purchase and said that this was by far one of the best soundbar that she's ever heard. So what that means is if you're thinking about purchasing this JBL system, do it you will not regret it!

    This sound bar is powerful, however, the actual sound bar quality could be better but the sub makes up for it. Overall we are happy with the purchase!

    I bought this as a black Friday deal for around $400 and I think it was a good purchase. I wanted a decent subwoofer with a soundbar and I feel this fits the bill. It does have a lot of mid range coming from the woofer but sounds fine and really has some punch for such a small sub that's pulling double duty as midrange. I honestly didn't do any comparison shopping before buying as my primary system is tens of thousands and I know that no soundbar would compare. With that said I'm spending way more time watching movies on this system which I think is a testimony to how good it is for the money. I don't regret the purchase at all!
