    Easy set up. Crisp, clear sounding bar! And the subwoofer is just the icing on the cake! Nice deep bass, no distortion! JBL never disappoints!

    Easy set up and awesome sound. Unit is very loud. My last sound bar had to be turned all the way up in my large room. I literally haven’t been past 25% !

    Love this soundbar set. Purchased it as a housewarming gift for a family member. Sounded so amazing that I had to purchase my own! The app the JBL provides also helps out a ton.

    Sound is way better than expected. The bass is good and I usually have to turn it down. Price for this unit is worth the money.

    Holy smokes!!! Brings the theatre home, and playing video games is almost scary. I was a little hesitant to buy this at first, and was looking at Sony and Sonos, the Best Buy guy saw me fiddling around and had to show me this. Glad he did, and for the price you definitely can't beat it.

    Not as good as one it replaced, we were spoiled with a much much better one, until our kid blew the subwoofer. There isnt much boom from this subwoofer. But it works and sounds decent.
