Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded my home audio setup with the JBL Cinema SB170 2.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer from Best Buy, and I am thoroughly impressed! The sound quality has completely transformed my movie nights and gaming sessions. The soundbar itself delivers crisp and clear audio, making dialogue easy to hear even at lower volumes. The real star of the show, however, is the wireless subwoofer. It packs a powerful punch, providing deep bass that enhances action scenes and music tracks, giving a cinematic experience right in my living room. The wireless setup is convenient, allowing me to place the subwoofer anywhere without worrying about cable clutter. Setup was a breeze—it took me just a few minutes to connect everything via Bluetooth. The soundbar also comes with multiple connectivity options (HDMI ARC, optical, and AUX), making it versatile and compatible with various devices. The sleek black design blends seamlessly with my TV setup, and it looks great in any space. For its price point, the JBL Cinema SB170 offers excellent performance and value. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their TV sound without breaking the bank. Plus, Best Buy's fast delivery and great service made the whole experience even better. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

The sound quality is rich and immersive, with clear highs, punchy mids, and deep bass that fill the room. Whether I’m watching movies, listening to music, or playing games, the soundbar enhances every experience, making it feel like I’m at the theater. The setup was incredibly easy. I had it up and running within minutes, connecting seamlessly with my TV through HDMI ARC. The Bluetooth feature also works flawlessly, allowing me to stream music directly from my phone with no issues. The design is sleek and modern, and it fits perfectly under my TV without taking up too much space. I appreciate the remote control that gives me full control over sound modes, which is great for adjusting the audio to suit different content—like enhancing dialogue for movies or boosting bass for music. Overall, the JBL Channel Soundbar is an excellent investment for anyone looking to elevate their home audio setup without the hassle of a full surround sound system. It delivers impressive sound at a reasonable price, making it a fantastic choice for anyone wanting to improve their entertainment experience. Highly recommended!

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.

Great sound along with deep bass. Overall easy to use with multiple devices

Sounds good bass is deep I like it,this was installed in a guest room so sound is good

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.

Works better than expected,loud and clear,subwoofer gives an epid movie experience.very easy to pair and setup.

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.

Incredible sound! It was very easy to set up. TV viewing has been kicked up a few levels.

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.

Sounds great with easy installation. You won't regret not buying the Bose sound bar.

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.

Sounds good with Tv and Bluetooth! Good bass from sub

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!

Effortless setup and great sound quality on both the sound bar sub wfr. I want another ine but out of stock.

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.

Wonderful sound, easy to hook up, we absolutely love it!!!

We love the sound bar, setup took all of 5 minutes.

Great Sound. Would Recommend. Decent Bass…………………….

This sound system is wroth it, when its on sale. It works well in smaller rooms and it does fill up the whole room with sound. It was very easy to install and set up as well.
