  • Exceeded expectations. Love it!!!
This system is AWESOME!! I started out buying the Sonos Arc Ultra for over $1000. Out was also an amazing sound, but the JBL is easily on par with it despite some differences. I returned the Sonos because the app had so much difficulty connecting with things that I anticipated a troublesome future. I then bought a used (like new) version of the JBL 500 and absolutely LOVE IT!!! The music tones are crisp and clear as is the dialogue quality which is probably the best quality I’ve ever heard. The subwoofer base adds so much depth, I never looked back with doubt about this purchase. I ended up saving $600 from the Sonos and haven’t missed it for a minute. This unit is simple to install and produces a high-end sound that works flawlessly. Super happy with this choice and I think any discerning audiophile would be to. PS: It rocks at high volume with no distortion! Lovin it!! ... show more

  • Fantastically easy to set up and use. Great solution for blending in.
Needed a simple solution to living room audio that nobody would complain about using, looking at, or bad sound quality. Worked flawlessly with my Roku Ultra and Sony TV, I can control everything from my Roku remote and all of the devices turn off with the same power button. Setup was as simple as plug it in and turn it on. Bass sync'd automatically, and no configuration was required for HDMI pass through setup. Sounds way better than the built in Sony speakers on the TV I have, and isn't unsightly for the space. Doesn't sound as good as the Studio 580s or 270s in the basement, but that's not what I bought it for. 10/10, if you can afford it compared to other sound bars, highly recommended. ... show more

  • JBLove it
I love it. Easy set up. Finally, I get a proper sound setup for the tv, or radio for the house.

  • Not bad but not great
Why did you pick this product vs others?: Fairly good sound but don't expect miracles. Bass is decent but not adjustable enough. In my environment, channel separation is not great.

  • It self installs itself.
Outstanding sound quality. So easy to install. Just plug in the cords and it self installs. Great sub-woofer. You will not go wrong in purchasing this system.

  • Absolutely worth it!
I had to buy a new sound bar, my old one overheated. Good sound quality. I hope this one last me longer than the last one.

  • Great Product for the Price
I recently bought the JBL Bar 500 to mainly use as sound system for my living room TV. The audio quality is amazing and the bass is extremely nice. So nice my wife generally asks me to turn it down. We also have house parties and like to play music and this setup is PERFECT for that. Setting the system up and adding the wireless subwoofer is super simple. I highly recommend this product for anyone seeking a really good audio system for a great price. ... show more
