    Very Good Sound Bar

    This is an excellent choice for a smaller living or family room. It might be a bit too much for bedroom, but it really depends on the size of the room. I personally love JBL stuff. I gave this one 4 stars because you have no real control over the EQ levels. The built-in presets are OK, but I wind up just leaving it on the Movie setting as it seems to be the clearest overall with the best balance with the bass and mids. The biggest negative is this doesn't have really full thumping bass. The Bluetooth works well and music sounds pretty good through it. Overall I'd recommend it for a very good quality sound bar for a smaller area. It is also very well made and looks sleek.

    Incredible Quality

    This JBL soundbar and subwoofer is incredible. It has incredible sound quality and we would highly recommend. It makes a huge difference in our entertainment area and we love being able to connect to our phone and play music too. Even though it’s a bit expensive if you are just updating your home entertainment area, we are genuinely so thrilled that we bought one that is really good quality. The only thing I recommend is to make sure before buy that you have a TV with a compatible HDMI ARC port, so you can actually use the speaker (most current TVs do have this, but my husband and I didn’t so we ended up getting a new TV also).

    I recommend these. The base is great. The sound options are great. Actually like that there is a voice option that helps it easier to hear conversations, and this sport and movie options are great as well. !

    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.

    Overall good for the price and my needs. I have this installed in my Master Bedroom. I noticed the sub tends to disconnect and searching for connection to the Soundbar. However, not to sure if it's the sub or audio from certain channels or lower level audio, but 97% of the time stays connected.

    It’s a good little sound system! Perfect for a small living room and the audio is nice and it’s given a bit of an oomph. Perfect for listening to the soundtrack of Expedition 33.

    Love this item, for the price and what you get. Worth it 100%. Only thing that it turns off randomly sometimes when inactive but probably normal. Maybe can stop that some how but either way great sound and woke up my neighbors

    Sounds decent. Downside is the sub can’t be more than 7-8 feet from the sound bar or it will lose connection sporadically
