Very solid 5.1.2 soundbar by JBL

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bar 700 system combines an impressive soundbar with a pair wireless satellite speakers that actually disconnect from the soundbar, and a wireless bass unit to create a solid 5.1.2 surround sound system.

Big sounds from little speakers...and no wires!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this setup in a large(30ft) room with high ceilings. The sound is amazing considering the amount of space it has to fill. The Atmos speakers work well(unbelievably sometimes) and I can hear things like rain and airplanes flying overhead. My ceiling is hard so the sound probably reflects well. I think in a normal smaller room this will be very loud! I like that the rear speakers are wireless and charge up from the front ones, I didnt have to run new wires and when I'm not using them they fit nicely at the front(with a magnet to hold them). I don't have anywhere to mount them so they go on the top of the back of the sofa and work well there. The bass is pretty good, I ended up putting the sub behind the sofa to get more oomph. My taste is even more bass though but given the size and price its acceptable.

This new JBL 700 is Dope!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound bar is amazing. I previously owned a JBL 300 sound bar and obviously this blows it out of the water. The surround-sound soundbar is loud and crisp and the subwoofer is powerful enough that it makes you "almost" feel you are in the movie theater lol. This is definitely worth the buy.

JBL BAR 700 Impressive
on February 7, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had multiple sound bars in my home and can say this is by far the best sound bar I’ve had hands down. The clarity and bass is amazing. Setup of this sound bar was simple and very well illustrated in the instructions. Two power, one for the subwoofer and one for the bar and multiple inputs for audio. Hdmi(e-arc) is my favorite of the new audio inputs. Also I forgot the remote is very user friendly. And not cumbersome very easy to switch in between Bluetooth and tv which I love. JBL you did it again great product.

Very satisfied

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bar 700 is a fantastic product that I have utilized in my living room. Hooking the bar up to the TV is simple. Having the subwoofer and rear speakers as wireless is such a great feature to eliminate having cords all over the room. The sound is very clear and crisp. The Bluetooth connectivity is quick and simple. Love being able to connect my phone to listen to music. The bar is a great size and weight. The battery on the portable rear speakers is a great amount of time. The recharge time is great too! Very satisfied with this sound bar!

Impressive, Versatile, Fantastic Bass
on February 8, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before I get into specifics, I love this system. It's extremely versatile for your home setup, and has fantastic quality, range, and depth.
Physical features include 1 main sound bar, 2 side speakers that you can mount on your walls OR attach to the main bar as extensions, a sizable subwoofer, remote, and mounting accessories. I initially had no idea the side speakers were able to be reattached to the main sound bar, so depending on if you want more of a full audio from the front (which still filled the room) or surround-sound, they're magnetized and easy to attach/detach wherever you'd like them. This is perfect for being a renter, in the event you may want this setup but are worried about drilling into the walls. I also love having one system that gives you the choice of surround sound for specific events, and a full bodied sound system for daily use.
1. Clarity - 5/5 I tested this with a variety of genres; classical, pop, electronic, rock. Depending on the type of music I was listening to, different parts of the audio really shone. Every little detail of the sound production was distinguishable, and nothing was muddled together. Highs, Lows, and Mids were clear.
2. Depth of sound - 5/5. If I could give it more points I would. That bass can get SO LOUD, but at any volume remained clear and did not blend any of the different bass notes together. It really enveloped the room. One thing I was concerned about was that there is no built-in bass for the main bar, so in order to hear any bass you need the sub turned on.. Which could potentially upset neighbors. HOWEVER, there's actually a bass level button on the remote that goes 1-5, so you're able to turn the bass up/down very easily. At the lowest level you still get the full bodied sound without any vibrations below. Obviously louder is better in my opinion, and no matter how loud I made it, everything was rich.
3. Range - 5/5. All segments traveled well to other rooms, so I didn't need to be sitting right in front of it to feel the full effects, which is perfect.
4. Other Features - Best part is how many connectivity points there are. Depending on whether you want it to be set to Wifi or Ethernet, HDMI, Optical, or USB, there were a lot of ways to customize the setup to your preference. I personally connected it to a game console so we could use it for games or video streaming, and utilized Bluetooth for playing music off my phone.
