Not shabby for the price and it also sound great my old sound system was just getting bulky and a bit dated. Wireless sub works perfect no cables no mess

I purchased this heavily discounted as it was a floor model without the remote, but I solved that issue by taking a learning remote to best buy and learning the floor model's codes. :D The sound is really good and has good clarity. Sub is nice and low and has good volume.

Love this sound bar ... the quality is exceptional. The only issue is that the bar is directly in front of the sensor for the tv. No matter where I sit the bar, it blocks that signal and makes it difficult to turn the tv on and off. I guess I wish it was a little shorter!

had to use an optical digital switch to get all the peripherals in; since the TV doesn't support ARC, that was the only way I could figure out how to get everything in.
No visual on the current option chosen, it is in a colored light display on the top, so to see what is going on, you need to get up, and at least for a time, look at the manual to see what the different colors and combinations mean.
It does have a sound equalization function which seems to work on the TV fed things, but the direct ones aren't part of that system I don't think.
This was for a friend: for myself I ended up with a Samsung HW-K550 which has a better(I think) amp system and a display that makes sense. comparably priced.

Personally it's the best looking sound bar. Sound is great. Don't like the tiny remotes that come with most sound bars.

The woofer is small but produces deep bass. The placement of the subwoofer in a room makes a big difference. The sound bar produces decent sound as well. I did have problems pairing the subwoofer like others and the remote is small.

We were looking to buy a Samsung soundbar and the sales rep at Best Buy showed us this one. We are so glad he did because it is perfect for our den. We can turn it up and hear it through the entire house.

This should've been a quick and easy set up, but it was a couple hours of frustration. The subwoofer would not pair with the soundbar. We had to search online to find the "trick" to get them to pair up. Then after a few hours, the subwoofer was not working and had to be paired again, which still was not simple. I had to push the pairing buttons repeatedly until it finally worked. The remote didn't work well either. The sound was great....when it worked! We took it back within a couple days, went to Sam's Club and bought a Vizio for $120, all I had to do was hook it up and turn it on....that simple.

Purchased this soundbar with sub as an open box discount deal. It was a great price and after a quick check of reviews, it seemed like it would be nice. I wasn't expecting a true home theater sound -- just an upgrade from the TV speakers. Boy was I disappointed.
The sound from the bar itself was average. Basically no better than the TV speakers, just more volume. The Bluetooth connected subwoofer wouldn't connect at first even though it was set up only 10 feet away. Eventually it connected when it was moved next to the sound bar. Once connected, I moved it to a different location about 8 feet away and it stayed connected. The sub added needed depth and volume to the sound and I thought all was good.
Then it started. The music and/or sound would be out of sync between the sound bar and sub. Then the sub would just start "thumping" like a snare drum being struck once every so often. At first I wondered if I was hearing things. But it continued, randomly, for no reason and not related to any particular thing displaying through the TV. I tried connecting both through optical and HDMI. It didn't matter which connection you used, the results were the same.
I would recommend you stay away from the JBL products. It doesn't perform.
