This soundbar really leaves a lot to be desired. I was looking for a basic soundbar that offered a bit more clarity than the crappy TV speakers. This thing took forever to get set up. It started out that you couldn't hear anything under 70%. That took turning PCM off on both the TV and cable box. Once I had the settings down (took some trial and error), it sounds pretty good. An average listening volume is about 40%. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't really get any louder than my TV did. It does sound much better, but it's no louder. I did not like the fact that the instructions say it can't be right under the TV. Apparently, it needs 3-4 inches of clearance from the bottom of the TV. Why? There was no reasoning. Not sure if it's for sound quality, mounting, or what. Kind of annoying and required cutting a hole to feed the wires in through the wall (in addition to drilling holes for the screws/anchors that aren't provided. Two small plastic brackets were included for mounting, Screws that go in the back of the unit and slide into the brackets were included. No screws were included to attach the brackets to the wall. The soundbar is quite glitchy when trying to use ARC. Without ARC, you cannot use any other remote. That's stupid. I have my TV connected with an optical cable (also not included) because I got sick of the glitches. Now when turning the TV on, I have to turn it on with my TV remote, then power on the soundbar remote, then for some reason, hit "Optical/Aux" twice and eventually the sound will come on. There is no feedback when hitting any buttons except volume so no idea if it recognized the remote signal and since it takes a while for the sound to actually turn on, I have no idea if the thing is even on. My last gripe is the stupid Google assistant nonsense. I can say "hey Google and the bar responds by lighting up and muting the TV. Ok... but my phone responds too, and actually answers the question. The bar? Yeah, that's still sitting there with 4 white dots lit up and the TV muted. Time to grab the remote and hit the back arrow. It will not come back on its own. Yeah, there's a switch that turns off the assistant feature. Cool. Oh, wait, it also turns on 4 orange dots on the bar that WILL NOT GO AWAY without turning assistant back on. That is annoying.I just want to hear my TV. I don't need google.

I was really excited to get this soundbar especially for the price I got it at. The sound bar itself puts out decent sound, though the subwoofer is needed to fill in the low end. Chromecast is straightforward and works well. Android TV is a little sluggish at times but still can't complain. Google assistant and executing commands are not good. I've been forced to mute the JBL Link bar and use an extra google mini I have in the same area. The mini is much more accurate and responsive to my commands. I've set the link bar as the default tv and speaker so all media still plays through the link bar but definitely disappointing not being able to rely solely on the link bar. Random reboots occur occasionally unsure as to why. Other than that all good :-P. That being said if you really want the link bar like I did you'll make it work and deal with the downfalls without much regret. It's hard to recommend this item given is many flaws but it does work, sort of.

great sound, love the fact that the subwoofer comes included and makes the purchase worth it. Android TV is glitchy so hopefully there will be a fix for this. cannot add prime however love the three HDMI outlets are attached. Also have not been able to find a way to add to google home app to make it compatible with other google home products.

Good sound. With built in google assistant we end up using it for just listening to music than I anticipated. We don't use the google tv function that often since we have it connected to smart TV. But I guess it is nice to have.

The sound bar is pretty clear, but max volume is not that loud. I've never reached max volume on my Polk Audio bar because it hurts. This one, no problem. The sub sounds great, but can only be used with THIS sound bar. So, it was returned.

Sound is good. Easy to set up and use. Clean looking, and being able to use it as a google assistant is nice! Just wish Apple would incorporate Siri into products like this.

This soundbar is great for the money and got the subwoofer free with it. The sound is good the subwoofer bumbs and the hdmi connections is a nice bonus. The smart features on this are kinda glitchy

I bought the JBL soundbar when they had the deal where you got the 150w wireless subwoofer free with the purchase of the soundbar. What a deal. The soundbar has a great crisp sound quality and has quite a bit of bass itself. Plus it has built in google assistant which is an added convenience. Also if you plug this soundbar into any TV that is not a 'smart' TV, this soundbar will turn that TV into a smart TV with all the built in apps and software. I haven't had any issues with the soundbar since purchasing and am actually thinking of purchasing more wireless JBL speakers to link to it for better surround sound. This is well worth the investment if I say so myself.

Recently purchased this bar to go with my Vizio M series purchase. The picture on the Vizio is outstanding, however the software is pretty bad and the remote doesn't have voice control. Fortunately, the built in Android TV w/ 4k HDR support on this sound bar runs much better! Thanks to all of the HDMI ports, I'm able to run everything thru the bar! Not a single complaint!

I love this soundbar as it has deep bass and android tv built in! I got this with a free JBL subwoofer and both are great together as syncing is just a simple press of a button.

great deal for the price it was on sale at 199.00 with the sub woofer as a free gift and androd tv on it do i can set up like a fire stick but would not pay 300 or 400 for it.

For the price you can't go wrong. It's nothing mind blowing, but sound is very clear and beats the hell out of TV speakers. Lota of great features built into it as well!

JBL brand speaks for itself, the quality of the sound is very good, the wireless sub woofer develops a deep bass with no distortion. I highly recommend this sound bar.

I got the sub for free, and this thing is phenominal for the money. SOund is great, and it is an easy way to add streaming apps to TVs that do not have it built in.

The sound is great and looks and build quality are excellent. Have had one issue switching inputs. If you jave HDMI Arc on you TV it probably won't be an issue. Overall we are very pleased with our soundbar and subwoofer.

This soundbar is amazing sounding and with the free subwoofer it will make you wonder if you need surround sound. But the android TV there are some kinks that need to be worked on. But if just used as a sound bar it's perfect

Pretty easy to setup. Works ok for the price. It would have been nice if it had an audio equalizer for that custom sound. Not a bad sound for the money though the free 10 inch wireless sub closed the deal for me! Nice bass!

I'm so glad that i made this purchase. The sound is super crisp and beyond what I thought it would be! Paired with the JBL subwoofer, this is a machine!!!

It's way more than a soundbar it improveed the quality of my TV which is pretty old and it is loaded with content it is way more then I thought it would be the quality of my movies and shows are greatly enhanced

This was the best purchase I made regarding this sound bar. The sound is crisp and clear. Setup was fairly easy would recommend and purchase again.
