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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

The JBL Cinema SB170 is a solid 2.1 channel soundbar system that punches above its weight for the price. With 220W of system power, Dolby Digital support, and a wireless subwoofer, it delivers crisp dialogue and deep bass that elevates movie nights and music sessions alike. Setup is a breeze thanks to HDMI ARC and Bluetooth connectivity, and the sleek design blends well with most home setups.

This soundbar with wireless subwoofer has good sound though a little quiet. I wish it had a little more power and more bass. I usually have it turned all the way up for listening to music in the garage. It is loud enough for movies though.

As far as the equipment, I had no problems setting it up. I am still fiddling to get the best sound out of it. The only negative (and I found this to be extremely aggravating) was when I went into the store for information about what type of bar I needed, or which was the best for what I could afford. The salesperson was a young fellow who either did not have any knowledge, did not want to wait on me or could not be bothered after I turned down the most expensive one, he showed me. Also, with no information about what I had to do to get up and running. This is not the first time I have had this experience with kids acting as sales people at Best Buy. My advice to Best Buy is if you are going to hire young people, be sure they know how to deal with all ages who shop at Best Buy, not just what they are selling, but how to sell it.

I had a SONOS Beam as my main TV audio and decided to go with the cheaper option of this soundbar, instead of buying the subwoofer for the Beam. I am very happy with my purchase as this is more than enough for us. Sound is clear, bass is solid. Probably not the best audio out there, but for this price, this soundbar is exceeding my expectations. Would recommend if you are looking for a budget soundbar/subwoofer combo.

I love, love, love this sound bar. I wasn't going to purchase it when I purchased my TV and the cashier recommended the sound bar. I have always wanted one and when I saw the brand was JBL, I knew it would be smart to get it as it was on sale. The installation was super easy and boy, does it make your movies, game playing sound ultra cool! It sounds as it you're in a theater. I highly recommend an JBL sound bar.
