    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.

    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.

    There is one, just one, thing i would have added or changed to this system. The bass... it has some crazy bass (although it could be the location of the sub). Which is great, except at night. Lol. It's a bit too much. I wish the bass could be toggled a little. Otherwise, it sounds great, i havent heard distortion of lows, mids or highs. Stop reading this and go buy it. :)

    Amazing Sound Quality – JBL Never Disappoints!

    I recently upgraded to a JBL surround sound system, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The sound quality is absolutely top-notch—crisp highs, deep bass, and crystal-clear mids. Whether I’m watching a movie, gaming, or just listening to music, the immersive audio fills the room perfectly. Setup was straightforward, and the build quality is exactly what you’d expect from JBL: solid, sleek, and premium. The surround effect is incredibly lifelike—it really feels like you’re in the middle of the action. Dialogues are clear, and explosions or music sequences come through with punch and precision. If you’re considering a reliable, high-performance surround sound system, I highly recommend going with JBL. It’s worth every penny!

    Good sound, good price. What else do you want? Ok small enough bar that it doesn't block the TV as well.

    I am a huge JBL fan. I have always had great sound with most of what JBL has to offer and it is usually priced pretty good. This was prices REALLY low so I Jumped on it. You do get what you pay for. The sound is pretty good although I wish it was more crisp. The sub woofer sound given the small size but and the setup was very easy. I have a few settings to play around with to see if it can be better but overall it is decent for the price.

    Had to purchase this because my new 65" Sony TV had terrible speakers, in fact most flat screens have terrible speakers. After installing, I was impressed at how awesome these sound. I think the addition of the subwoofer helps immensely. If you are looking for a soundbar but on a budget, I highly recommend.

    Its a good soundbar. The subwoofer is the real star. Incredible bass and its wireless. Only issue so far is you cant control the bass volume.. just the soundbar, which is basic at best. The soundbar has alright sound, but it itself has little to no bass, and is easily drowned out by the bass itself. It can be hard to hear unless you crank it up, which then the bass is shaking the entire place.

    This is well worth the cost. I hooked it up in my bedroom about 2 years ago and have not had a single issue. The bass is tremendous for such a small woofer and well integrated. I have a $900 2.1 system connected to my pc for music and this soundbar does better than that for movies/shows. Overall worth the buy and there’s a reason it is still being sold years later at a higher price.
