Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are some issues with the wiring on this product. Junk needs to look into tbis
I would recommend this to a friendUnimpressive sound for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly expected a bit more from JBL even at this price point. Surround and Sub are both Unimpressive and extremely underwhelming. Wasn't ready to drop $900 on the 7.1 channel and assumed the 5.1 channel would deliver adequate sound. Was absolutely wrong on that one.

Dont buy disconnects randomly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the sound bar. It had great sound, but it disconnects randomly. The only way to reconnect it is to unplug it and replug it in. Then it has to go through its recalibration. I am going to return it.

Adequate but not great for a Bose product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounded good in the store, but disappointed in the sound quality at home. Dialog for watching movies was represented as being good. See no difference in all the other brands of sound bars I have tried. There is no good bass output. It works, but still not what I am looking for. it was also touted as not buffering, but I have also experienced that a couple of times.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice soundbar. We also have the previous BAR version. This one adds Dolby Atmos. Airplay works great. Also requires the improved JBL One app for setup.

Wait for two minutes, then plug them back in and turn them on. Next, check the connections and ensure the HDMI cable is firmly plugged into the HDMI ports (eARC) on both the soundbar and TV.

Jbl 500 soundbar doesn’t stay connected to tv
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love this jbl 500 soundbar and subwoofer but every 2 days when you turn on the tv, there is no sound from the soundbar. The only way to get sound is to unplug and plug it back in. When it works, it sounds good. I called jbl and troubleshoot but day after same issue no sound from sound bar. No one seems to know why this is happening. Cables are in the right place but the intermittent turning off is annoying. I paid too much to have to be unplugged and plugging in every 2 days. I can’t really enjoy the theater experience. Sad but I have to return and get something else.
