So glad we bought this. Unbelievable difference from our Tv's stock sound. It really does give you the theatre sound experience. I read reviews about `tinny` sound or overpowering bass. They have to be doing something wrong or don't know how to adjust their set. There is a lot of adjustment available from no base all the way up to `rumble the house`. You can personalize the system to whatever you want. Good job JBL!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Mostly good stuff - Tight kick and crisp highs

Im a Harman fan. I have JBL studio speakers, Kappas in my car together with some JBL subs. I also tried the 3.1 version of this system, but the 5.1 is far superior. I just love the kick from this system and the crispness of the highs. The mids tend not to be the best but I would say it is a very good overall system specially at the 500 range.
I have some issues with the HDMI functionality. Sometimes when using my Sony TV remote, this unit simply goes mute. I have to reset the TV which uses android in the background and then it will work again. It's a bit annoying. The Bluetooth connect works as good as with the tiny Flip speakers.
I usually do not separate the speakers for use in the back, but I do use these to widen the stereo imaging when listening to music. Very tight system and it makes all wires virtually disappear so my home office looks nice and clean. The sub pairs like a charm, no issues at all.
Things to improve:
HDMI volume control. Maybe visual overlay on the TV through eARC that shows current listening mode, and other useful details.
I think a more versatile wall mounting is needed to be able to reach studs in the wall and make this system attach better to the wall.
A Bluetooth remote would be a good addition.
I'm hoping for a firmware updates to stay on top of HDMI upgrades to a certain degree.
The controls should be moved forward a bit so these are reachable even when you mount the bar underneath a TV.

I am very happy with my purchase. I am no audiophile but they system sounds great especially watching movies. The 5.1 system with the wireless surround speakers make such a huge difference. Oh and the subwoofer is incredible with deep deep house shaking base. Set up and calibration was a snap and the remote has all the controls I need to adjust my listening pleasure. For the price, this is a terrific value. Now I have to go because I want to listen and watch another movie.

recieved this a few weeks ago and we're in love with it. From playing music for our four month old to watching movies the sound quality is awesome. We love the wireless speakers because we can finally watch movies while the little one is sleeping not having to use subtitles lol

I bought this item JBL BAR 5.1 and is just amazing I’m really happy with it ! I’m a movie and soccer games person and I was always looking for the best system sound that I could listen the clarity of the voice and the bass at the same time and this product it is just the best ! It has many sound options where you can listen the way you want it , also the bar has 2 small speakers on the sides that you can put them anywhere around your living room to listen the smallest sound when watching your TV . You can adjust the volume up and down separately of the 2 small speakers and the bass with out just going one single option for all the system, I’m just impressed and happy , we all love this at my family and friends . If you are looking for best sound , this is the one you need . JBL BAR 5.1. Thank you JBL.
