Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect balanced soundbar for a small living room on a 48” old Sony tv. Fills the room with bright treble and medium level bass - no sub-woofer needed. Blue tooth connects easily to phone for great music sound quality. Dialog is very clear on movies. Purchased for $170 as a door buster. Give it a try for the value.

Soundbar is amazing for the small size!! Calibrated it and setup was super easy. In a medium size rectangular room and the sound really projects like surround all from a soundbar. Bass is pretty good for a single 5.0 unit and dialogue is clear at all volume levels. Very very impressed and for the price i’d recommend it highly.

This soundbar delivers impressive deep bass that negates the need for a separate subwoofer, making it an excellent choice for compact living spaces like studios and one-bedroom apartments. While the effectiveness of the surround speakers can vary depending on your room's acoustics, the overall space-saving design is a significant advantage. However, the soundbar struggles with vocal clarity. It's common to find yourself constantly adjusting the volume, increasing it to hear dialogue and then quickly lowering it during loud action sequences. While setting the bass to level 3 and activating night mode (by holding mute for 3-4 seconds, then pressing volume down) offers some improvement, the soundbar would greatly benefit from proper audio equalization via a dedicated app. Ultimately, if you can acquire this soundbar at a reasonable price, its space-saving design and powerful bass make it a worthwhile option, provided you can overlook the audio mixing issues.

This sound bar pack a punch. The sound quality is great! It was easy to connect to our new TV. Very happy with the value for its cost!!

The sound is great, I wish the setup instructions were clearer. Still, the quality and bass are beyond what I expected. Reccommend highly.

Love the sound base and clarity of movies and music. JBL superb performance out of a lil sound bar! Almost too loud!

This soundbar has excellent sound and is very compact so it fits right in front of our TV.

A scale of one to 5 being best I would definitely give this a five. I’m 78 years old, technology is not my friend. The sound bar was so easy to set up. Took it out of the box plugged it in put the batteries in the remote Adjusting the sound and toned with a breeze.

Earc excellent. Quiet when you need to just enjoy tv loud when you want to enjoy a movie . Smart it has actual display on the bar informing you . One simple bar one simply strong bar .

What a difference it makes. I can actually hear everyone’s words clearly now. This thing creates such a crisp clear audio overall. The surround bounces off the walls too. Every TV needs one of these!!!

Very good product sound sounds amazing definitely recommend this item.

Overall great sound and quality for size and price point!

Great value at the sale price. Good sound and deep base without a subwoofer.

Completly exceeded expectations, fills up the whole house and max volume and still soumds clear. Couldnt ask for any better sound bar, even at a much higher price.

I can now use my monitor without needing headphones

Outstanding!! Great price and installment was awesome job from Geek Squad

The JBL 5.0 sound bar is will not connect to the internet so updates are not possible. It will not respond to the JBL Bar Setup App. Pretty disappointing as i have two other JBL sound bars that work and sound great.

Got on sale after long poor history of samsung soundbars and was literally blown away by the sound quality. It is a beautiful compact piece that practically has an on board subwoofer and delivers clear audible words in the most intense action scenes. Loved it so much I bought another one. Before you say oh my tv is Samsung i should buy a samsung to make life easier this device was the easiest plug and play of any soundbar i've owned and with HDMI CEC no need for extra remotes just use your tv remote. Dont believe me? Watch Singham Again on amazon prime and tell me your current setup dosent leave you wanting.

OMG! This is my first ever soundbar. Did my research before buying and I’m glad I did. First of all for the price and quality it is truly a must have for you living room or movie room. The quality in music is amazing. Easy to set up and powered by JBL audio ! The best purchase I made in a while. Mostly all my music products are from JBL and I tell you they did NOT disappoint! A must have and get it for that unbelievable price, definitely worth the $400. I’m so glad I purchased it on sale for 169.99. Lastly what are you still here reading this, GO BUY IT!!!!

Wow! I know this is an older model and I bought it in 2025. However, I was not expecting the amount of sound base and clarity of this all in one sound bar. I got it on clearance/open box with a gift certificate so I paid 60 bucks For a $400 retail sound bar and it really does give the base that you want without even using a separate subwoofer. The newer models have included tweeters for a wider sound stage but this one with five full range racetrack drivers delivers excellent mid highs and lows. I have slept on this for years now, but I’m very proud of JBL for this product! Grab one while you can.
