Connection issues
on April 12, 2025
Posted by: Guillaume433333
Keep having connection issue consistently deconnecting to the network and unable to reconnect.
Response from jbl.comBy Customer Support, April 15, 2025
Thanks for your feedback. Please try to restore the factory settings of your JBL Bar 700. By restoring the default settings defined at factories, you remove all your personalized settings from the soundbar. To do this, press and hold the source button, plus and minus buttons for more than five seconds. Then, "RESET" will be displayed and the soundbar restarts. When connecting it back to your network, please make sure that your router or modem is within the range and have stable connection. If you have difficulties in setting up Wi-Fi, hold the plus and minus sign on the soundbar until "SETUP WIFI" is displayed. For further assistance, please contact us.

Great sound

--What we love--
It's terrific sound quality. After it's set up, we feel we have cinema quality sound and plenty of it. We easily filled a 24' x 40' space with great sound and loud music, but it can also fill smaller areas while maintaining good quality.
The bluetooth pairing to phones and players is good and hassle free - no incantations required.
The joy of wireless subwoofer and surround speakers. The forest of wires near the TV is less.
The surround sound works surprisingly well. The little guys do a good job.
Recalibration is easy to perform and over with quickly.
Entire setup process was pretty simple.

--What could be improved--
The phone app - while there is nothing particularly wrong (save the 10¢ equalizer), it makes your phone another in the armory of remotes that have to be present - just in case. I would rather have more features and maybe able to use the wired interface for initial setup.
We're sure there is some reason for that specific recalibration noise, but it sucks big time. We both shrieked.
The shipping box - highly damaged and scary. The inner box and the units inside were just fine.
The right and left indicators on the surround speakers are a little small.

Love the sound this system puts out. The detachable speakers are great and the HUGE bass box gives the system a theater like experience.

Not fond of detachable speakers
on January 2, 2024

I bought this for our Christmas. It came with holes in the boxes, mashed and one side almost open, but it was packaged well. Very easy to set up, love app on my phone. Sounds good except I'm very disappointed in the volume of the wireless detachable speakers. I can't get enough volume to truly hear them. I don't know how to fix that either. Checked volume with no luck, so bummed about that.

Very solid 5.1.2 soundbar by JBL
on March 26, 2023
Posted by: yjax
from Gainesville, GA
[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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
