    Deep rich sound. Thought it was faulty at first. Was making humming sound after first couple of days. Lasted a couple of hours. No problems since. Figure it was break in period. Nice looking, easy to clean

    Its a low end soundbar, but for $350 you can't get any better one. It has very deep bass, that's what i was looking for. First i got kilpsch rsv-11, which did not sound well for me so i exchanged it for the jbl 450, just sound better in my opinion. I was about to pull the plug and spend the money for a high end one, but visited a frend with $1600 martin logan soundbar and i was not impressed. Thes is great cheep soundbar

    JBL never disappoints when it comes to sound. Love this soundbar. My only negative is the tini tiny remote. What sense does that make?

    Easy setup, good sound. I live in an apartment and worry that the subwoofer is going to disturb my downstairs neighbor, so I don't put it on often. The one con I have is that the bluetooth function goes off after a short period of non-use; so if I'm listening to music on my ipod and have to pause to take a phone call, the bluetooth shuts off and I have to turn it back on. Not a huge deal; just a nuisance.

    The JBL sounds great concerned with the customer service quality, remote since purchased never worked, contacted JBL and still have not received a replacement one at first they said they could not even get one for the unit after having it for only a week (really). Came into the Best Buy store prior to even contacting JBL and of course got the brush off to call them. I was encouraged to get Geek Squad but they did not state that you would have to bring the whole system back into the store for service that sucks also

    Not the cheapest and not the most expensive....but this is my first sound bar and I'll be darned if I do not love it. The sound is crisp and the boom from the bass is perfect. Just happened to have Top Gun on TV once I was done installing and I just kept turning it up louder to hear the jets roar. PS my wife yelled at me cause I was shaking the curio cabinet. LOVE IT!

    I have been on a quest to find the perfect balance between bumping bass and clear audio. This system delivered really well on the bass. I feared I was going to become the neighborhood jerk with just how deep this sub went. JBL knows what they're doing when it comes to making subwoofers. It blew me away. Music was amazing and movies were awesome--as far as action scenes went. The speakers in the bar just couldn't compete. There's not a lot of customization or adjustment available with this system, and adjusting what I could didn't make enough of a difference. I'm by no means an audiophile, but I ended up returning this beast because the clarity in dialog and regular music just wasn't there. If you're all about that bass, this system is for you. If you're looking for clarity or a well-rounded system, keep looking. I will say the quality kept up with the volume, though. This system can get loud as bad word with out sounding strained.

    Great for watching movies. Nice deep bass and sounds great. If you plan on mostly listening to music, I'd look into the Klipsch.

    I went looking for newer Onkyo receiver, I was really not a believer of soundbars, until a employee started showing me the different soundbars and how well they sound. Less wires all HDMI's go through the sound bar. The subwoofer is amazing loud which I like no wires to the subwoofer as I have wood floors no hiding the wires. It was a great choice love it!!

    I read a lot of reviews on many sound bars before finally settling on this one. I bought a floor model (open box) and I couldn’t be happier with it. I have it mounted under my 65” TV in a large living room (~20’x25’) it it rocks the whole house. The base level and overall sound performance are balanced for my liking. I am no super audiophile but I do love good, balanced sound. I would definitely recommend this sound bar.
