Sounds pretty good!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is clear and bass is good for the small tv in the bedroom. Sound probably wouldn’t be as good in a large room like a living room with vaulted ceilings. But for a smaller living room the sound is good!

I would recommend this to a friend Lost sound after 1 year with no explanation
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I got this soundbar, it has been very dissatisfying. The sound goes in and out when connected via bluetooth and now after just 1 year of using it, the sound has totally stopped working even when connected via bluetooth or HDMI wire. I am extremely disappointed. I had my Samsung soundbar since 2020 that I got in Rhode Island and even move with it, none of these issues have occurred, I am using it in my room, connected to via bluetooth to a firestick, still works perfectly after more than 4 years. But JBL as big of a brand, how a soundbar can just lose sound with no possible explanation is mindboggling! I have reset, done all I can the sound just gone! There was no prior incidence at all! As I said, the sound would go in and out like a scratched CD plate! I kept managing it, till I stopped using bluetooth and switched to HMDI wire...now the sound is gone, I thought my tv was the issue, I connected it to my phone via bluetooth, connected successfully but no sound from the soundbar. Just like that, turn it on to use it, and it stops working. I have read through the manual, checked on youtube, etc to find a solution, all to no avail and I doubt if JBL or bestbuy can fix this without demanding that I pay! Just 1 year, a month after the warranty has expired, the soundbar develops fault from nowhere....how convenient! I suggest if you want to buy a soundbar, just stay with Samsung.
