Buy this! Guys, the sound out of this is super loud and clear. I can’t even turn it up all the way because it’s to much. The bass in the subwoofer is bomb! You can feel it throughout the house. It will shake your furniture. You don’t need any extra speakers . This setup gives you some IMAX sound . No joke.

I installed the speaker in less than 20 minutes, the Bluetooth is really smart it connected to my TV right away with a single click. The best part of it all is seeing my kids faces when we watched a movie for the first time. We were blown away by the sound it produced! It is like being in a theatre at home! We love this speaker and use it connected to music and Alexa and our iPhones connect to it too!

For the price and quality of this product I was very impressed with the performance and quality of the sound considering it is just a soundbar and subwoofer (no satelite speakers). Makes the living room sound like a movie theater!

I returned a Samsung brand sound bar and subwoofer for this set, it’s a little pricey, but I was able to find an open box special, I’m really happy with the quality, even if I paid full price I would’ve been content with my purchase, so I’m even happier that I was able to save some money!
Bar 1000 or 1300 will be my next purchase!

Excellent sound and bass I was skeptical about purchasing after reading reviews but I am so glad I did. I put this in my 1800+ sq ft garage to pair with a 55" tv and it sounds awesome! I wish I would have bought 2 when they were on sale! I actually mounted it to the bottom of the tv because I have it mounted on the wall on a corner and it can fully swing around. I have a full surround system in the basement but didn't want all the cords everywhere in the garage awesome sound out of a little soundbar.

JBL 500

This JBL 500 soundbar sounds just how I’d expect JBL products to sound, loud and clear with a lot of bass. The 10” sub packs a punch, sounds great with movies and music. When I first installed the soundbar it sounded a bit off, but you have an option to calibrate the sound. After a quick recalibration it performed very well. The bar is a great setup for a big room as the sound fills up the whole area. It was an easy install with no hassles. I’d recommend this product if you’re looking for a soundbar in the 500-700 price range.

Great soundbar.I look everywhere for a soundbar that wasnt tooo expensive.This was the only soundbar at this price range that was even remotely had a good base.The only issue I had with it is it time out and turns off if you leave it on without use for more than a 2 minutes.

I bought the JBL because it's full-featured and has the largest (10 inch) Subwoofer in it's price range. It does not disappoint! Great sound is found with this system.
