    Great sound for price just push it had a different connection because my tv only has 2 hdmi ports and that’s how you set this up. So cycling between ps5, cable, and speaker is super annoying so I actually haven’t used it in a couple weeks. Easier going from cable to game and not worrying about the sound but would like to get an adapter I guess to split one of the hdmis.

    Great sound, quality and look from this bar. Very responsive with a high output optical cable. Action movies are amazing with this bar. And so are sports. Great surround sound and just the look I was going for. I paired it with the floating mount brackets (3 hole) and it worked out perfectly.

    Great sound bar for my needs! It is very easy to set up. Sound quality is great. I was debating on another sound bar and was live messaging with a Best Buy team member and told them what I was looking for and wanted to make sure it was compatible with my tv and they suggested this one and it was $20 less than the one I was looking at. This is one of the many reasons why I shop at BestBuy!

    This JBL sound bar and bass is an affordable system. It has good sound for a smaller living room/den. It does not have the bass level sound for a medium or larger living room. Overall middle of the road system.

    This has been a great sound bar for our living room. Watched Maverick and it really sounded intense! Definitely recommend as it’s reasonably priced and sounds great! Easy to install and sound bar looks great on the mantle. The subwoofer tucked to the side near the fireplace.

    Starting soundbar for your living room

    After using this for 1 month, I can say that it is good as the price if you want your movie streaming or other watching activities sound clearer. Others say that soundbar will just make your TV louder but I think they're wrong because you want the real sound experience. So I recommend this one.

    Very pleased with it for our small to medium room. Enhanced movie watching with good sound and bass levels. I own another more expensive soundbar that is a little better but cost $100 more. Works well with eARC connection my 8 year old sony TV. For the output wattage, number speakers and quality of sound, this is a great value.

    Adds some Bass that I desperately needed for movies and was relatively easy to setup… but…. truthfully just not what I was expecting from a JBL product. I’ve always had such great luck with JBL and was a true believer but this product is rather lackluster.

    This is fantastic for the price. We bought a pioneer xumo tv and added junk sound bar. The experience is so good. We are happy with the purchase.
