    Blue tooth connection is a problem for this one. It disconnects after an hour. It is good for starters but not if you really like a profound quality speaker. But for the price it is a winner. Also it constantly disconnects with Wifi. It is very easy to assemble. If you really want a very loud and sustained speaker, this may not be the one.

    This soundbar has great sound however; the audio does not connect to TV when TV is turned on even though I have it set up to do so. Example....When I turn on the TV, it will not connect to the TV so I have to unplug the soundbar and let it recycle. JBL should fix this issue. Frustrating paying this price and you have to unplug every time you turn on the TV. It is a pain so I suggest you look at another brand.
