    As others have said. Sounds good when it works. Constantly disconnects.Have had to unplug and plug back in every two days or so. Would have returned but is passed Best Buy’s 15 day return policy. Luckily I got it on sale.

    We love the JBL - BAR 500 when it's working. The sales associate assured me that it was compatible and "played nicely" with our Sony Bravia 77" TV. However, it randomly shuts off during use or simply won't connect when it's turned on with the TV. Sometimes it takes so long that it switches back to the internal TV speakers. Disappointing because it sounds amazing in our family room!
