This thing rocks. So loud. Dolby atmos is decent but not the best considering the speaker configuration, but honestly not needed.

Best Sound Bar I’ve purchased

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!

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!

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.

JBL sound is amazing. The sound from the soundbar is top notch and I am very pleased on how in compliments my Sony 85 X90L TV. The dialogue is very clear and Dolby Atmos works great for me.

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.

Plugged it in and wow what a difference. Was gonna go with the more expensive one with the two Bluetooth speakers but I thought this sounded almost as good for half the price. Once I got it home, wow what an improvement. Very happy with the rich sound for alot less money. Very happy!

Absolutely awesome soundbar. Its audio quality is very very good and the bass is deep. I love how it has apple airplay and can just connect to it whenever feel like blasting music.
