I must first mention this was purchased for a bedroom TV, there is no soundbar that can provide or “simulate” true surround sound. Many people bash sound bars for this reason. A soundbar is to enhance the TV speakers, that’s pretty much all it can do. The multibeam, bouncing off walls etc, I do not hear it at all nor believe it. I have Polk Signature line 7.1 in the living room that truly lets you hear effects around you.
This bar replaced an ancient PolkIHT300soundbar/woofer. I was also considering the Polk Magnifi 2 or a Bose TV soundbar or 300 soundbar with the 500 bass module. I just could not see spending close to a grand for a Bose system just for bedroom viewing. This is packaged with mounting brackets and a HBMI cable. The JBL 10″ sub woofer just destroys the old Polk. I have the sub set to level 3. My average listening volume around 17-20 decibels. It can get loud during action movies, turn up the volume a bit more and it will rattle the floor. Sure there is not audio option settings but neither did the Polk so to me it does not matter.
The room calibration feature is a nice touch, not really sure how effective it is but on a 7.1 system it does make a difference.
Biggest gripe is I am unable to connect it to wifi, the JBL app sucks. it did connect to Google home within minutes though. The dialog is clear no matter how loud the background scenes are. Overall for the price of 400 bucks, this bar is amazing.

The sound quality is amazing! Was packaged in a very clever box! Came with a wall mount. The instructions for it was small diagrams, which was a bit confusing, but I figured it out. You can adjust the bass to 3 different levels. Very sleek in appearance. The sound bar is fairly long, so make sure you have enough space for it. The subwoofer is pretty big as well. Overall, I’m obsessed with my new JBL sound bar!!!

This JBL system is a great balance of performance and simplicity. Having used another rented Sony sound bar/subwoofer system the past couple of years living abroad, I was frustrated by how difficult it was to understand dialogue depending on the show or movie (I had my AppleTV box with me so was watching the same type of content I was before and now am back in the U.S.), and would constantly be switching through different sound presets the Sony offered to get the best results for whatever I happened to be watching.
The JBL, with no optional sound presets other than bass level, sounds great no matter what I’m watching. Dialogue is clear but doesn’t feel “thin”. Movies via Amazon Prime or Apple have the “cinematic sound” and the 5.1 surround effect is more effective than I would have expected. Somehow, this JBL system gets the frequency tuning just right out of the box. I don’t need a bunch of different sound mixing presets to make different programming to sound good.
The instructions and set-up are almost strangely simple; a power and HDMI connection, turn it on, and it’s ready to go. My favorite thing beyond the sound performance is the remote. Including the power ON/OFF button, there are only 7 buttons; simple and no nonsense. The only mild complaint I have is a slight latency in the muting after pressing the MUTE button. I’m used to it now, but it was noticeable to me at first.
The JBL 5.1 sound bar doesn’t have a lot of frills and options, but then again, that’s probably because it doesn’t need them to deliver satisfying and high-quality sound performance.

I purchased this system holiday 2022. Wow! Sound is awesome. Virtual surround is decent. The voices in movies are perfect. And for movie bass and music this system is unbeatable. Most of the time I keep sub lvl at a 2 out of five. If I’m listening to music loud i go up to 3 but for me that’s plenty. And I do love GOOD sounding bass. I chose this over Polk magnifi max because there isn’t a lot of signal processing and electronics to go bad. It just a well put together speaker.

What a great purchase. Music and Movies have been taken to another level. The sound quality is awesome and the bass is better than what i wanted. I wanted something which is loud with good quality and bass but not too loud as my neighbours home walls are about 30 feet away from me. This ticks the boxes. No issue stays connected perfectly. Definitely recommend.

Geek squad guy named Nick got me onto it. I thought I was looking for a soundbar with Dolby atmos but in reality I was looking for a soundbar that was reliable and had excellent sound quality, and this soundbar has provided that. The set up was very simple, plugged in the soundbar to the tv hdmi arc with a 2.1 hdmi cable. Plugged up the subwoofer and clicked the button on the back to pair. Paired up very quickly and was able to start enjoying it immediately. This all in one soundbar (plus a massive subwoofer) provides the most amazing sound quality that resonates throughout any media you’re enjoying. I’m a gamer and like to enjoy a surround sound experience and the virtual surround sound that this bar creates is pretty great for what I was looking for. I’m also a huge hip hop fan and the booming bass from the subwoofer makes listening to hip hop soooo much better. It doesn’t have the widest range of abilities when it comes to settings but the bass EQ is great. I always keep it at level 4 bass because bumping it up to level 5 (the max level) just gets way too loud for me (even though it’s pretty awesome to listen to). My last soundbar from Costco crapped out on me after two months so I have had high expectations for this soundbar and they have all been met so far. Will provide update review in the future.
