JBL Bar 5.1

hardly ever used - JBL sales had absolutely no knowledge of what i wanted - make me an offer for mine, not even the kids want to use it and gave me information that i find is ridiculous in their claim

I never criticise a product unless it’s really dirt. Do yourself a favour don’t buy this soundbar. Problems - Subwoofer distortions on low vol, detachable speakers always distortion, movies are a nightmare to watch on this no mids no lows, music no mids at all, only thing it’s good for is thumping BASS which kids love but not someone who wants to watch a quality movie with crisp sound. am back on my Bose solo which I thought am upgrading from but in reality I downgraded by buying JBL over Bose .

I purchased this at the same time of buying a new TV and they both compliment each other perfectly. I love the surround sound feature too and its seamless to use. I dont use the subwoofer as much these days as I have relocated to a small flat.

This is one of the best speakers I have ever bought. I loved it in the store but was not sure how it would sound at my house. But it worked well.
I loved the true surround feature. It can hold the charge for a good amount of time

Sound quality is “ok”.
Lots of bass in one frequency range from the subwoofer and then a small (tinny sound) frequency response from the main speaker. Its very powerful if you want loud in a normal lounge room, but crappy quality.
Sound quality aside, one of the inputs was dropping out repeatedly.
I had numerous messages with JBL support who kept trying to get me to restart, try other devices, try other inputs, update software. None of which worked.
Every response took another week for me to do, then send, then wait for a reply.
I gave up and threw it out.

It might not have a huge range of features and adjustability settings, but it delivers on what the majority of consumers such as myself would want out of a soundbar, to deliver rich and powerful sound that has simplicity in its features and design, with the added versatility of being true surround.
If you want rich and thumping bass, crisp vocals, and the unbelievable versatility of this setup, this thing hits the sweet spot.
This bad boy has literally impressed everyone Ive shown.

I bought this Soundbar to go with my great big TV, base is fantastic I honestly would hate to be the people living below in my apartment! I like the sound the only thing I find is that Music option doesn’t sound that great, I usually have it on Movie to have the good base and sound together! Definitely not a sound bar if you want to play music it’s definitely a movie sound bar! Anyway it’s still great, I love the detachable speakers!

what more can i say but does what it is intended to do and sounds better than i expected complements any TV experience and listening pleasure thanks for a quality product

I have used a 5.1 AV unit with cables for some time and in the new house we are in, the ability to run cables in walls or roof (flat roof extension) was going to be quite difficult. I looked at Samsung options but again the rear speakers required power and a box that would need to be put somewhere. JBL seemed to be the only soundbar provider who has overcome this. The setup was quite easy, mounting the speaker brackets on the wall is easy so you can pull them down to charge. We have used the speakers even in other rooms of the house to play mus...

The JBL bar 5.1 is very exquisite to look at and the materials used are good quality. I like the wireless subwoofer but I like the most is the removable surround satellite speakers that you put on a stand or wall mount. It’s performance is spectacular when you watch movies with 5.1 channel. The setup is straightforward and the connectivity are great (hdmi, aux and Bluetooth). Overall despite the price tag it’s all worth it!
