I brought this sound bar to take the place of my old surround sound system. And when I tell you the sound quality is very nice all the way around
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor sound quality and wireless did not last.

I bought this to replace a traditional surround sound system that was about 15 years old. The sound out of this bar was nowhere as good as the old wired system and the base made a strange clicking sound when videos start or stop. Add to that one of the remote speakers only lasted about 6 months. It slowly stopped taking a charge and finally stopped working all together. Now I cant find a replacement and I'm stuck with one remote speaker and a poor preforming sound bar. Don't buy this model, wait for improvements to be made!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome design great sound with a major flaw!!

I got this soundbar like couple of weeks ago and the design is so great and am surprised why this hasn't been tapped by any other speaker companies. I've been looking for wireless speaker system and i decided to get this. And i dont regret it clear and crisp sound ease of setup and from soundbar to surround in just 5 seconds. The subwoofer does the magic with the bass effect.
Now the cons all the speakers are firing straight other than the sub which makes the soundbar to be in your ear level.
And now the major defect i saw in my sound bar was that when i tried to have a Roku in one of the HDMI and HDMI ARC connected to tv everything worked perfect until at one point of time the HDMI source gets changed and the volume turns up to the max volume on its own making it difficult to switch back to the hdmi source and reduce the volume. And this happened like 4-5 times within a evening. have to raise a request to jbl to take a look into it. there should be some firmware update or i would be returning my soundbar.
Other than this is its an absolute great product.

Wifi issues

Everytime I switch on the soundbar, my wifi which works on 5ghz immediately slows down like crazy. Anyone else facing this issue who can suggest a solution?

I have watched too many reviews of many industrial class sound systems but I decided to go with the JBL Bar 5.1 and I am more than satisfied with the design, quality, deep bass, latency, input types and most importantly wireless.
I highly recommend this product for all the bass freaks out there who are looking for a satisfying, breath taking and room filling experience.
