I bought the JBL Bar 5.1 specially for movies about 2 weeks ago . The 5.1 soundbar is awesome for movies but only acceptable for playing music.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awsome sound. Easy hook up. One only thing wish it had a tad more mids and highs.

My husband wanted a Bose system, but I did some reviews and got him this for Christmas. It is so crystal clear. The subwoofer fools me sometimes. I think something is outside the house but its just the low tones coming thru that sound like real life. My husband is very pleased with it as well.

Excellent bass and immersive surround sound

I bought this about 30 days ago and so far i am very happy with it's overall sound and features. Very easy to connect and get up and running. The Wireless 10" subwoofer is the best wireless soundbar subwoofer i have heard. Plenty of bass. Rear speakers and mounts are a genius and work well! I was surprised. Make sure you calibrate them with the included mic and wall mount them for best performance. Don't just set them on coffee tables or stands on each side of couch. Remote is very useful with volume settings for the overall system and independent volume settings for the subwoofer and rear surround speakers. Only real weak point for the JBL 5.1 is during 2 channel or stereo music like thru bluetooth. Not as good as others i have owned but for movies or TV content thru good sources it's a awesome set up!

Was a little nervous about this one since I hadn’t been able to test it prior to purchase but it is awesome. Great bass and surround sound is much better than I had anticipated! my only complaint is that I can’t turn the center channel up a little more for movies.

I’ve had this since super bowl weekend and let me just say that the sound is amazingly clear with endless bass to go with it, can’t go wrong for the price....only problem is the arguments with the wife about the tv room rumbling with bass
I would recommend this to a friend!

Theater like experience

I was initially looking for something with Chromecast and Alexa, but this is for the bedroom and secondly could not find a quality soundbar. Then I realized I would rarely use that function since there are speakers in the bathroom, living room etc to do that.This bar will play music from your phone or attached USB or HDMI source.
But the main criteria is to have great sound coming out of the TV. This unit performs beyond expectations and sounds as good as a 7.2 speaker system. It helped mounting the Soundbar above the TV and not below to get the best output and the detachable Surround speakers at the same height and the calibrated the speakers.
Makes watching TV on a 60 inch screen enjoyable.
If you want a true Surround Speakers experience, and don't want to mess with wires I have found nothing better. Moving the magnetic surround speakers from the mount back to the bar for charging is easy. Above all, it's a well designed unit that looks as beautiful as it sounds.
