    This is a pretty cool setup. I very impressed by sound on such an affordable soundbar and subwoofer. The sound comes out clear so you can actually hear what’s going on when watching tv better than what a tv can produce. The subwoofer really impressed me, the bass is very deep, meaning it can fill a room with it simulating like it’s everywhere. For gaming on Xbox series x it a game changer. The sound from it is able to pickup on little noises, like things you might not of heard before. For example call of duty games, you can hear footsteps from other players, which gives you an advantage so you know where the enemy is coming from. It’s like playing with headphones without the headphones or mic. Of course you can’t talk through it but you get the same kind of sound from a good pair of headphones without the need for headphones. I highly recommend this product. I got it on sale for 149.99, at the time. Well worth it. Oh yeah and it’s wireless to a certain point. I say that cause even though the soundbar and subwoofer can connect through Bluetooth, they still both need to be connected separately by a power source. They both have a power cable that comes with it so no worries. Hope this review helps others.

    We got this soundbar in offer. 170$. Pros: It is a 2.1 with sub woofer with this price range. Soundbar produces quality digital sound and two twitters helps to enhance the sound. The soundbar is lite weight. The default modes makes easy to set the sound mode based on the content we watch/listen. Cons: Subwoofer effective only during action movie and videos with heavy sounds. It does not make effect with music mode. The power cords comes with package does not fit when you mount with tv. You will need longer cord when you mount with tv. Would recommend to my friends.

    Before I bought this soundbar, I looked at the 1 star reviews and almost changed my mind on buying this product, but since the product was sent on sale for $160, I bought it anyway, because if I didn't like the product I could just return it, well this product has exceeded my expectations for the price of the soundbar, now its not going to give you house shaking bass but you can feel the vibrations of the speaker throughout the house. (Put it in the corner of your room so the sound resonates. I was reading the reviews, and they probably had poor placement for the subwoofer) The soundbar itself has a good bass and sounds really good and the subwoofer and soundbar are both in sync with each other.

    This is my third sound bar from bestbuy over the years. I have a old vizio probably going on 10 years old still working. Bought a tcl soundbar with my 65 inch tv. That one the subwoofer acted up after a few months of owning. This jbl is by far the best one I've owned. Mostly use for gaming on my xbox and the sound is crazy in depth. The bass hits hard. Definitely recommend if it's on sale. I paid 149.99 well worth that price. Hopefully it last as long as my vizio. Only negative thing is there are only 3 sound mode options.

    Sound bar sounds decent. HDMI-ARC didn't work on my Vizio 4K TV. I had to connect optical cable for extra $. Sound is pretty decent for a 2.1 inexpensive system. Blu-tooth connectivity worked with my phone. EQ options are a bit limited for my taste (Just 3). I would buy it again. Space savings are much better than my previous stereo system. Remote is basic, but that's OK.

    Excellent quality speakers at a great price. Easy to set up and pair with TV via Bluetooth. Minimal cords to keep track of, and this was just the right amount and size of speakers we need for our living room. Even with vaulted ceilings, the sound quality is excellent.

    I Love JBL for all my sound needs so I watched for this to go on sale. I watch a lot of movies and this is perfect. Great Sound! You can choose a mode - Voice, Movie, News. Very easy to hook up to the TV and the subwoofer is wireless. Love It!

    Great soundbar but sometimes a little too "bright" on the high side. Bass is outstanding- it really roars when watching an action movie. I would definitely buy this one again.

    It works just fine. Not the best audio but good enough to notice a significant improvement over the TV speakers. It's loud enough and you can really feel the bass. HDMI ARC is always the way to go and works as it should.
