    We liked this soundbar but the Dolby multibeam was too booming for our townhouse. Our neighbors could hear it in their townhouse. We had to return.

    Good price range. Sound quality is good overall, but the sub doesnt have a crossover. For the same price, the SB350 of old is hands down 1000% better.

    Maintaining budget of $500 or less, JBL BAR 500 was best option and on sale at $400. Sound & quality reflects reviews - paired with Sony OLED A80L 77” TV.
