    Love JBL products. This was our second sound bar we have gotten that is a JBL. This sound bar is not as loud as our bigger one, but it is still very good. I would keep it in a smaller room, but still a great feature for our living room.

    The sound quality was just what I was looking for to enhance the living room tv. This area is where we do most of our sports and movie watching.

    I am very pleased with the quality of sound with this combo. Also did not want anything with rear surrounds so this was perfect.

    Love this system. I have had to reconnect it to the wifi a few times but this is a minor issue. Sound quality is excellent. Sounds like your at the movies.

    Purchased together with sonos beam 2 to compare. Sound quality it good for music and effects. Voice lacks clarity. Great bass. Returned and spent the little extra for the beam. Good for budget buys though.

    First off i didnt expect the subwoofer to be this huge and pack this much punch. The sound is amazing and compared to my samsung soundbar it knocks it out the park. I dont have to have it as loud as i did my old one and the sound is bery crisp and clear. If you have the money definitely recommend. JBL is the best in audio hands down.

    This is hands-down the best sound bar at Best Buy. Not was this the most explosive-sounding sound bar of all the options on display, but it delivered on voice & commentary as well (commentary is what needs boosted most often). JBL is a reputable brand, so I know this will be a great, long-lasting replacement for my surround sound home theater set.

    This soundbar makes you feel like you're in the movies, 10/10 would recommend for anyone that watches a lot of TV or movies. Not as good if you primarily watch sports but definitely still works for noise.
