Great Soundbar!

We bought this to replace our last JBL, which had lasted for over 10 years. We chose this one because of the amount of HDMI ports. We have had it for about a month and we love it.... the bass is ridiculously loud, great for movies. The convenience of taking off the side speakers is amazing. Feels like you’re right at the movie theater when you place those tiny speakers right behind you. They just plug right back in to charge. The battery lasts for at least 2 movies. We haven’t experienced any issues anyway. No complaints with any part of the sound bar or subwoofer. Turns on with cable box, volume works with regular remote. Bass/volume/source is easily adjustable from the JBL remote, that is included. We love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I read the reviews on the JBL 5.1 and I decided to give it a go. The sound is very good and the bass really thumps. The removable speakers are a great wireless option that even impressed my skeptical wife. This is perfect system for a small to medium sized room.

poor quality sound

I bought this item few months ago. I seriously expected good sound. But not to great at all. I own another JBL surround sound and that one is so awesome. It is an older model. Not really satisfied with product. Paid a good price for it and for it not to sound good is very unsatisfying

Sound Bar is goes out after 10 mins. Changed the HDMI Cable, Adjusted TV Settings, Plug into a HDMI ARC on my TV. Reset my JBL and Updated the Firmware on my JBL Bar. Still no luck. Sound Goes out after 10 to 15mins. In progress. Still trying to enjoy this device.

Disappointed

I am disappointed with my purchase. The audio quality is terrible and the sub is over powered. My wife is constantly complaining that she can't hear the dialog. I wish I did not purchase this.

Great bass

So I've been wanting to upgrade my sound bar for a while and always had my eye on this jbl 5.1 and i finally decided to get me one and after having it for almost a month and using it every day i give a 8.5/10. Great bass, very loud, and very easy to set up. The only reason i wouldn't consider this a 10/10 is because the 2 bluetooth speaker ends arent that impressive, I felt it lacked so much. When you hear the sound quality (when they're on bluetooth not connected to the actual soundbar) of them, it's just a little disappointing cause they kinda sound like a walkie talkie, but to avoid that I just have them connected to the bar at all times therefore you can't really hear the difference. Some can argue that they are made just to create the surround sound but honestly jbl makes speakers the same size that sound way better than the bluetooth speakers the sound bar comes with. So as i stated in the beginning 8/10. Would recommend.
