    had my TV hooked up through my 5 channel stereo system, so was not expecting a huge difference. very surprised at the change in sound quality. Never really needed a subwoofer for my music, but it really changes the TV viewing. Also makes the speech much clearer. Very Happy.

    This soundbar is very impressive, the surround sounds is incredible! You can here the sound to your left and right that bounced off the walls from the side firing speakers. Every time I watch TV, the sound continues to impress me. The app works well, I wish the equalizer had more adjustments, but that's ok. JBL is a great brand and they do not disappoint with this product.

    I’ve owned the JBL surround system for over a year and I have zero complaints especially for the price I would recommend it to anyone. No connection issues and it sounds like you’re at the theater.

    Bought this for my husband when his expensive sound bar went out after 7 years. I told him this was just a temporary fix until he can get another system. After connecting it, we were surprised at the quality of sound in our large room. He stated that this works just fine and no need to buy a more expensive system.

    Bought a Sonos and returned it the next day to purchase this JBL. I’m so glad we did and we love it! It’s perfect for our living room and needs. Also my old self was actually able to learn the functions immediately.

    After researching multiple sound bars and surround sound options I decided on a couple of sound systems. Visited Best Buy store and listened to the two systems I had decided on and definitely impressed with the JBL 500 sound bar. Sounds fantastic with our 70" tv similar to sitting at the movie theater. Highly recommend.
