JBL Bar 5.1 - Surround Sound Home Theater Soundbar System

ARobinson: I went thru two Samsung 3.1 based systems at this price point or slightly less and returned them as they weren’t WiFi/BT/smart app capable and then stumbled upon this 5.1 sound bar system that easily is WiFi/BT and smart app capable. Audio is great for the price and features. Highly recommend, easy setup. Have it connected to a Samsung Frame TV, which controls the volume so I only require the TV remote, not two remotes.

Jim Bob: Cette barre de son est un excellent achat. Je l'ai achetée en vente pour environ 400$ taxes incluses, donc c'est un très rapport qualité/prix. La configuration est simple avec Alexa et Chromecast. La qualité sonore est impressionnante et le Dolby Atmos fonctionne bien. Je suis branché avec un câble HDMI dans le port eARC de ma TV 4K. Je contrôle la barre de son JBL avec l'assistant vocal Alexa et j'ai plusieurs appareils qui se connectent avec le Bluetooth. Le jumelage Bluetooth est simple a effectué avec les différents appareils. La télécommande est ok, mais lorsque que j'utilise mon téléviseur 4K je contrôle le volume avec la télécommande de celui-ci ou avec les commandes vocales d'Alexa. Donc très bon achat et très bon produit avec le son 5.0 sans avoir besoin d'autres caisses de son supplémentaires ou caisse basse (Sub). Ne prends pas beaucoup de place dans une pièce. Installation facile à faire et vous pouvez la fixer au mur sans difficultés.

Darcy Wall: I am not sure what to say about this system. I am not really disappointed and yet I feel like I am to some extent. The sound is ok. The bass is great. Features are great. I guess I was just hoping for more. I have a polk system that is a lot older and is not as high a watt system nor does it have the features but I feel like the quality of the sound is just better.

Rosebud: Was easy to connect to my tv using an optical connection. Was easy to find the owners manual on their website. Wasn’t so easy to register because of the stickers and labels placed on the manufacturer’s box by Amazon, so I called JBL support and they registered the warranty for me. Finally got the volume to work with my FIOS remotes buttons because we didn’t want to have to use the tv remote and the sound bar remote. I like this sound bar! Nicer than the VIZIO inexpensive one I was previously using. Just watching HD tv shows, I don’t hear much base though, but the sound is good. It’s a heavy duty model. I didn’t hang it on the wall, although everything to do that was included in the package - instead I have it sitting below the tv on my tv table. It seems HDMI is the preferred connection method. Was kind of hot while I was programming it, but not as hot with regular use. This is my first JBL product. My husband uses wireless headphones in the morning while I am still sleeping and exchanging sound bars on the tv made those not work anymore - but I’m working on it. Hopefully we will get the headphones to work with this sound bar.

Trevor Melton: I purchased this soundbar based on a couple weeks of investigation and review reading. My former 2.1 system just up and failed after about 5 years of usage and I needed a budget and compact replacement. This soundbar seemed to check off all the boxes for me.

I've owned this for about a month now and I'm extremely happy with it. The setup (calibration) was really easy, and I'm being blown away by the sound quality for a product in this price range. I'm also impressed by the built-in subwoofer. My old system had a satellite woofer that seemed to get in the way.

I did have a minor scare when I connected the soundbar to my network the first time. The soundbar updated its firmware and it almost felt like it was 'bricked'. I just wasn't patient enough. It updated and

sandokhan cleare: I recently purchased the JBL Bar 5.1 Surround 550-Watt 5.1 Channel Soundbar with 10" Wireless Subwoofer, and let me tell you, it delivers an unbelievable audio experience with a lot of boom boom bass!

The sound quality produced by this soundbar is simply outstanding. The clarity and crispness of the audio immerse you in a cinematic experience right in the comfort of your own home. The highs and mids are crystal clear, but the real star of the show is the subwoofer. It packs a punch with its deep, rumbling bass that adds a whole new dimension to your favorite movies, music, and games.

Setting up the soundbar was a breeze, and the wireless subwoofer adds convenience by eliminating the need for extra cables. The wireless connection is reliable and seamless, ensuring that you can place the subwoofer anywhere in the room to achieve the optimal bass effect.

The JBL Bar 5.1 Surround also offers true surround sound, thanks to its 5.1 channel configuration. The rear speakers provide an immersive audio experience, making you feel like you're right in the middle of the action. It's perfect for movie nights or gaming sessions, where you want to feel fully immersed in the...

Mudo: Actualización
Bueno después de un par de semanas de uso puedo comprobar que si... el oido se entrena xd
trate de regresar a mi barra anterior 2.1 con subwoofer externo y note la gran diferencia
esta barra de JBL realmente porta buen sonido aun que si el bass es algo bajo no afecta en mucho la experiencia en ver películas de acción, estoy disfrutando mucho esta barra de sonido

-------
A pesar de presumir que tiene 4 radiadores pasivos para el bass... estos apenas si se escuchan,
en general no es mal el sonido pero me costo bastante acostumbrarme al sonido comparándolo con la barra de 2.1 con subwoofer que tenia antes... (quiero pensar que tenia mis oídos mal acostumbrados por que con el tiempo me agrado esta barra de jbl)
si se siente el sonido surround 5.0, pero deshabilite la opción de Atmos virtual para no sacrificar el bass
para la musica es muy bueno si tienes Apple Music
es muy complicado configurar el nivel del bass
lo recomiendo si lo adquieren en oferta o primero tengan la oportunidad de escucharlo antes

Tiger: Firstly this sound bar is a killer soundbar at the price point (usually around $349 on sale in Amazon). It’s hard to find a good 5.1 soundbar with good subwoofer at this price.
I got this on prime early access deal (2nd prime day) for $288, and it was a no brainer at this price! Without prime sale, it’s usually around 299-349, still a great price.
Now let’s talk sound quality:
I watched Andrew Robinson’s review about this sound bar (please watch it, it’s the only good technical review available from a proven audiophile YouTuber). He praised it well and recommended it and called it the budget sound bar king, even better than the klipsch 600.
I was waiting for prime day sale to buy it…
Once I got it in, set up was simple. For all iOS users, download the “JBL Bar set up” app, to add the sound bar to Wi-Fi. It’s very simple that way!
Subwoofer was pre paired (it should be from factory, don’t know why some people are saying it was not paired!! But it’s easy to pair).
Connected the tv input (Sony x900f for me) and it was up and running.
Next make sure to do the calibration, it steps up the sound quality considerably. I made sure “smart...
