So far, so good!

Great I should say. Got everything set up and man it does pump some good sound. Was sorta worried about purchasing a refurbished unit, but all is good. There was a little trouble getting the surround sound speakers set up, but was able to overcome it. Trick is, make sure they are all kinda even with one another, like the height from the floor. Also, make sure they both have line of sight with the thing that calibrates them, forgot what it's called. Didn't get it to work at first, until I made sure the surround sound speakers and calibration device were all lined up an could see each other, meaning, nothing blocking or in front of any one thing. The wireless surround works great, just plug them back up when you are done. The subwoofer really has some thumping sound. I am very pleased with them so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beyond Expectations!!!

After watching and reading several reviews on several soundbars, I decided to go with JBL 5.1 with the detachable surround speakers. Setup was easy, and flawless. Initial setup took about 5 minutes, with an additional 3 hours to charge the surround speakers. I was concerned that my high vaulted ceiling would be a problem. It wasn't. This soundbar is nothing short of amazing! Vocals could stand to be a tad crisper, but are very clear. Music sounds amazing. The surround speakers and subwoofer are what make this system shine. The subwoofer supplies wall rattling bass, and ability to place the surround speakers anywhere, means that you aren't confined to a single location. And the icing on the cake is the Dolby Atmos, which truly brings movies to life. This system was well worth the money!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

loving this soundbar! one issue i have is the provided optical cable is too short…in addition, i can’t find one that is compatible with it. every single optical cable i have purchased will not connect to the back of the soundbar…it’s almost as if the cable’s tip is too long or the actual plug in the rear isnt deep enough to accommodate a non-JBL cable…

Great performance with simple, fast installation.

The JBL sound bar adds excellent audio to our television and I really enjoy the Bluetooth mode for listening to my phone playlist. I had a 7.1 system that we disassembled when we rearranged the room some time ago and I just never got around to rerouting all of the speaker wires, mounting speakers, etc. This system connects and mounts very quickly and in my opinion, rivals my old system. It resurrects the discussions between my wife and me about how much is too much bass but with this system, I can adjust it very quickly with the remote. The 7.1 system was all about speaker placement, this system is smarter at producing believable surround sound with two satellite speakers and a subwoofer.

Great system when you move often

I bought this product to get a portable surround sound system. We move frequently and didn't want to deal with the wiring required each time we get a new house. This system made that super easy. The sound quality is great. The only part I am struggling with is pairing the style (movie vs. speech vs. music) to make it worthwhile using streaming services. I'm not sure if it is a streaming issue or a speaker issue, but it isn't always super clear. Overall, great purchase and I recommend.

Sounds great but may be interfering with WIFI?

It really improves the sound of my television and I like the Bluetooth option to play my playlist from my phone. The WIFI has been acting up since installing the sound bar and subwoofer. I currently have the sound bar and subwoofer unplugged from power to see if things go back to normal and the WIFI is working fine. So no to figure out how to use the ne sound system without breaking the WIFI.

Great sound quality. I absolutely love that the satellite speakers are truly wireless. The best sound bar I have ever bought.
