    Amazing sound and bass. I bought this soundbar to use on my Sony Bravia and it’s amazing! It automatically turns on when I turn on the tv and can control the volume with the TV remote.

    I bought this on sale nearly half price as my other one which was a few years old wore out. This one sounded better perfect for my 1 bedroom apartment I was surprised how good it was.

    Bluetooth is Line-of-sight

    Bought this to use as a standalone system in a spare room. The quality of the sound from the soundbar on Bluetooth setting is on par with having a portable Bluetooth speaker. The bass is very weak. If there's an explosion in a video, expect the bass to hit a few milliseconds after the explosion occurrs on-screen. Watching or playing anything with a dynamic soundtrack feels unnatural because of the bass always playing "catch-up." My biggest disappointment was the Bluetooth connection, my device had to be in line-of-sight of the soundbar or the sound would become severely choppy and cut out. I stood with my device 3ft in front of the soundbar while playing a song over Bluetooth and as soon as i would turn my back to the soundbar, the sound would cut out. I weight about 190 lbs and don't have an orbit around me.. so I'm returning the soundbar kit.

    Going from watching movies with tv speakers to the JBL soundbar and sub it made a world of difference for my mother and father-in-laws sound in their living room. They said it’s like they have their own private movie theatre.

    Really not a bad unit, sounds good, connection was a breeze. Sub could be a little more powerful but all in all it’s a nice wallet friendly soundbar combo, that will you will not regret getting.

    This soundbar really exceeded my wife’s and I expectations. I purchased this on sale for $149.99. It was easy to connect to our Samsung 65 inch TV. We have not experienced any issues since purchasing a year ago.

    Sound Bar is amazingly loud for the price. My. husband now listens to everything in surround sound in his man cave. JBL sound bar is very clear without any background fuzz noises. The soundbar paired really well with our Hisense TV.

    Really good sound from a smaller package. This JBL setup is a nice little setup for our family room. It's no powerhouse for extreme movie type sounds but works very well in our situation.
