    This sound bar has great sound quality and the bass is spectacular. It’s great for watching movies or connecting to your phone via Bluetooth to listen to some music. It’s loud enough to fill the room and enhances movie watching. It also looks great and is easy to clean because it doesn’t have the soft mesh most speakers come with. The only con is that you have to aim the remote directly at the sound bar in order for it to work; for instance, if you are sitting at a 30 degree angle and try to turn up the volume using the remote , it won’t work. I have to turn the sound bar to face my direction if I want to use remote.

    I bought this pair for my husband to use with his new TV because the sound on it was poor, hard to hear compared to our old one. Adding the soundbar was a major improvement, but when we hooked up the woofer it was great. We first tried it with the Bluetooth connection, but there was a slight lag between the characters on screen and their voices from the speaker. Once we connected the sound bar via HDMI cable it was flawless. We also tried connecting via optical cable and it worked that way too. But my husband said he thought the sound wasn't as quality via optical cable as it was using the HDMI cable. I didn't notice a significant difference. All in all it is a great set for the price range!

    Purchased at a sale price of $150. Excellent value at that price. Straightforward set-up and controls are easy. As an upgrade to built-in TV speakers, this is a huge improvement in sound quality with a deep, satisfying bass.

    Great sounding sound bar, sound is very crisp and voice is projected nicely, sub is a nice touch to add some reinforcement for not sounding hollow. Easy set up and works perfectly

    Wow! I'm amazed of the sound quality. I truly wasn't expecting a theater type sound. If the 2.1 sound like this, I can't imagine what the 5.1 sounds like. Easy to connect all devices and mount on the wall.

    For what it is, it's alright. I have this for my bedroom TV, and it's serving it's purpose. However, I'm not liking the lack of Audio tweakablity. They need to make it so that we're able to adjust the lows, mids, and highs. I'm not liking that the vocals come through the sub. It uses a boost making it seem like it has deep bass. It will struggle to pick up lows below 35hz which i call real deep bass, but i don't expect it to do that with it's 6.5" mid woofer and price point. The sound bar is okay, nothing amazing. It sounds a bit flat. Not much depth for vocals. Lacks in treble. Overrall, It's not completely terrible. I'll keep it, for now. It sounds decent. Looks good.. Easy to setup. Will swap it out with something else eventually. I think this will be great for the average person.

    I don’t normally do these but MAN was I surprised at the amount of bass the subwoofer had. It changed the entire experience of watching a movie for me and my family. I’ll happily argue that it’s money WELL spent!

    Good sound quality; Nice balanced bass; Easy to set up; Got it for under $150 since it was an open box unit with some cosmetic damage and was missing some accessories... For the price, worth it. Not sure if pay over $200 for this...

    Great system; perfect for small to average sized living rooms and bedrooms. The sound is rich and crisp. While it can connect to multiple devices via Bluetooth, it prioritizes the initial device that is connected, which means you’ll have to disable active Bluetooth on the first device you connected if you want to use a different device.

    I initially bought a Sonos but I really enjoy bass and was not willing to pay for the expensive Sonos sub. First off, this thing is LOUD and the bass is fantastic. Best part is you can change the bass to low, medium, or loud. Is it Sonos quality? I think that the Sonos had better acoustics but if you want the best bang for your buck, this is it. Only complaint is that if does not pair with other JBL portable speakers.
