Love, love, love this

published

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.

Purchased in June 2018 at Harvey Norman for $796.

This is awesome. great purchase

published

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

Powerful sound. True 5.1. Feel sorry for the neighbors.

published

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.

Purchased in October 2022 at Harvey Norman for $798.

Superb quality and stylish

published

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!

Hi, I'm wondering if the detachable speakers can be used around the house whilst playing music. If I use one of the speakers in another room is there a setting which means the sound will be the same on all speakers?

Yes they can de placed around the house but there are no settings. However there is a remote control which could have that function.
