    • Powerful and Clear Audio Experience
I recently purchased the JBL Bar 500 and I’m very impressed with the sound quality. The audio is clear, powerful, and the bass from the subwoofer is deep without being overwhelming. Dolby Atmos really adds a great surround sound experience, especially for movies and TV shows. Setup was quick and easy, and the design looks sleek and modern. Overall, it’s a great soundbar that delivers excellent performance and value. Highly recommended! ... show more

    • Pleased with the Sound Bar and JBL Support
The JBK Bar 500 sound bar met my expectations and I am very pleased with my pyrchase. The shipper did not iver promise the delivery time. I fact the sound bar arrived several days before the promised date. Unpacking and coonection to my TV went smoothly. Because I am not knowledgeable in how electronic devices work, I had some trouble understanding the setup process. The JBL Support representative walked me through the process very carefully and with admirable patience. I cannot comnend JBL highly enough for their support. Now that the speaker is set up properly I am enjoying the full spectrum of sound from the television and other devices as well. The JBL sound bar replaced a surround sound system with a tuner snd multiple speakers that was damaged by a lightening strike. The sound quality is equal to, or even better than that sound system. I have been particularly impressed with the sub woofer performance. As I watched the movie Braveheart again, the sound of battle and especially of the thunder charging horses transported made the battles of Stirling Bridge and Falkirk come to life. I commend this product to thise who are looking for a sound bar that does what it supposed to do. ... show more

    • Sound quality
Love this surround sound. Wife hates how loud it is. Which to me is a 5star review in its self. The look on her face when I put on a movie is worth every penny. Sounds from every angle. Sometimes even feels like they are coming from behind me. Let's not forget to mention when im playing Gran turismo. Sounds like im at the track. Crazy how clear you hear everything. Also crazy how you can't hear everything... like someone telling you to "turn it down!" Physically had to get my attention. ... show more

    • Finally a Multi-Room Soundbar that works
I'm well verse into Amazon Alexa multiroom, owning about a dozen of Echos,. I was trying to find a device that would 1. Play in Sync with other Echos and 2. Get some deep bass in the house. 3. Not ruin me. This hits all 3 right on the spot ! However, it doesn't fill the room as much as my previous soundbar Q800A from Samsung, but the Alexa Multi Room integration works 9/10 with almost no noticable lag. You can also add the bar to Alex Groups, which makes it convenient to fill the room with music when playing in sync with other Echos. Remote and Subwooker are great, I just wished the soundbar had a 5.1.2 speakers system, with 2 more speakers upfiring within the bar as the Multibeam is not as noticable as the competition, but I guess you can pay more to get something better ! Great Value for Money overall. ... show more

    • HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to Listeners who enjoy bass and dont want to spend $1000
I am extremely happy with the JBL Bar 500: 5.1-Channel soundbar with MultiBeam™ and Dolby Atmos. I returned a couple units that were good but I wanted more bass and boy, I got with this unit. The subwoofer sets this unit apart from others in the same $300-400 price range. With the ability to control it from the included remote and with even more user controls from a smart phone, you cant beat the sound quality and customizable equalizer settings for music, movies, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to Listeners who enjoy bass and dont want to spend $1000 ... show more

    • JBL Bar 500 is a winner
The JBL Bar 500 esceeded my expectations. The tonal quality is quite neutral and the bass is plenty strong. I have te bass turned down half way so there is plenty of boom left if you prefer that. The spacial effects are convincing as well. I highly recommend this at this price point.

    • Sounds good...needs a bass and treble adjustment knob
Sound is good.. Not super loud on high...needs some better controls to adjust the bass and treble.. Probably going to hook it up with a DAC ir preamp that has more adjustments available and update review

    • Someone’s used/abused soundbar
I ordered this JBL Bar 500: 5.1-channel soundbar. When it arrived at my dwelling the packaging looked as if it had been used for shipping this item too many times. The edges and seams of the boxes showed signs of being torn and retaped many times. I had a professional installer install the sound bar and subwoofer so I knew that it was handled with care. Being that Amazon doesn’t advertise this product anymore I figured that I had probably purchased the last one available. Having now used it for six weeks I find that I can hear it producing beautiful surround sounds. After about 3 to 5 minutes, it shuts itself off completely and will not come back on for at least an hour! Neither the external switch nor the remote with new batteries, will turn it back on! I have a feeling that I was sold someone’s junk! According to the seller it is not replaceable or refundable! Do not buy this Model if it ever gets advertised again! ... show more
