    My fiancé and I were in the market for a soundbar. We talked with a BestBuy employee (I forgot his name but he was aweseome) and he walked us around the store listening to different options with no pressure. When he showed us this system we were blown away! We opted to spend a little more but it’s an investment piece and will last many years. We have had it about 2 weeks and it’s great! The woofer has deep bass and the rechargeable detachable speakers are awesome! Adds a wonderful experience to movies and music! We got it on sale for about $800. Great sale but worth full price too!

    The JBL Bar 1000 is my very first soundbar and I feel like I hit the jackpot on first try. I walked into Best Buy to compare soundbars and the minute the associate showed me this I was blown away. The subwoofer, the detachable speakers, the Dolby Atmos, just EVERYTHING. The price was a bit higher than what I was intending to spend but I understand you get what you pay for. Plainly put the JBL Bar 1000 has been worth every penny!

    Purchased the JBL Bar 1000 as an open box item, and I’m very happy with the purchase. The product arrived in excellent condition, like new, with all accessories included. Beyond offering incredible surround sound quality, buying it open box was a great way to save without compromising performance or the experience.

    The bass is amazing. i love the removable speaker. I also pirchased stand and the usb cables to charge them instead of connecting them. JBL has the best sound of the different systems that I've tried.

    I was thinking about purchasing Bose system sound bar but bought the JBL sound bar. I initially bought Bose cube years ago and was happy with it but wanted something that provided clear dialogue sound for movies. The set up was easy and the outcome was Unbelievable! It’s sound is perfect for our home. Bose is good enough but the JBL sound bar was over the top and the wife is happy because no wires and has a nice and clean look. The detachable wireless rear speakers are an awesome bonus. A musician friend stopped by and was also impressed with the setup and sound.

    I love this Surround System! The sound is premium and the subwoofer will rattle your floors. I feel sorry for my neighbors lol! My neighbor asked me where to get on so he could enjoy the movie instead of the sounds coming through the walls :)
