    Not Great, but it is ok

    I replaced an aging Samsung 2.1 soundbar with this JBL soundbar and I am somewhat pleased. The sound is good for my bedroom, but I do not like that I am unable to adjust the bass and treble levels. The EQ is preset so you cannot adjust it to your desired levels. Also, it does not have a digital read out, so you are unable to see what volume level you are on. Overall, the sound is good, and I can't complain too much because it was on sale at a very good price.

    Good value

    Soundbar provides quality audio that seems well balanced with the subwoofer. I have no issues listening to shows and most movies are equally good but depending on the sport it seems the crowd noise can drown out the commentary. Maybe it's just the station or feed but felt it was important to mention as this seems to be the norm in this price range. I have it mounted but the design of the back and weight are made for it to sit on mounting shelves as opposed to the screws and brackets.

    THE SOUND OMG. We watch even regular tv with this on because we love it so much. I purposely find movies with a lot of action so I can enjoy the sound. I was skeptical because it’s just a bar, but I was completely blown away (literally, if you count what happened when I connected it and the volume wasn’t down, lol).

    It works enough

    The soundbar works with my phone and sounds a bit tinny. It is a phone... However, the soundbar does not connect to my laptop Bluetooth or my cd/dvd cable. I tried the cd/dvd HDMI and the JBL HDMI. I am back to square one and CD players are almost obsolete these days. Check your compatibility before purchase!

    Easy to setup and sounds great. The 8in sub blends well with the sound bar and fills in enough low end for small to medium sized rooms. Tried it outside for small party and the BT connection was great!

    Great sound bar and subwoofer. Sound bar is difficult to mount under the tv. It only fits a specific size so you may have to order and extender for the bolts.
