    bought this JBL Soundbar for home , but unfortunately, my husband didn’t like it and so I returned it. While the sound was decent, he found it lacking in bass and overall depth compared to what he was expecting. It’s a good budget option if you’re looking for basic sound improvement, but for someone who really loves great sound quality, it didn’t quite cut it. The return was easy, though, so no issues there.

    Easy Bravia sync with Sony TV. No preset sound modes. 1 surround option, front facing speakers bring solid Dolby Digital crisp clarity. Comes with an optical cable. Bluetooth communication is good and does not disconnect to subwoofer. The sale price of $200 at time of purchase was very resonable for the performance.

    Amazing sound for the price of this product! Gives that loudness I was looking for in a soundbar unlike other soundbars. Would recommend this if you’re looking for that loud over bass.

    This is a decent soundbar for the money. I like that the subwoofer is wireless, allowing me to place it anywhere in the room I want. My only gripe (a minor one) is it could be a bit more powerful. But the sound is good, dialogue is clear when watching tv.
