Incredibly brilliant product, better in allaspects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soundbar is far smaller than what I had before but provides a much better sound with a unique cinematic experience through innovative technologies.
The device is very easy to set up using the Google Home app and is pretty seamless. I really like the front display that displays the volume, modes, and other settings such as wifi/Bluetooth which makes it easier for the user.
What really caught my attention is the unique sound experience it delivers with punchy bass, crisp and clear sounds. The sounds echo in my living room and bring a surround sound experience, truly incredible.
Another overhaul JBL did was the remote, simpler, smaller, easy buttons and the button clicks nicely compared to the previous remote model.
This product I received as a test product, regardless, a fair and honest review is the only road I travel to be fair, honest, and product feedback.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sound from the sound bar. Setup was quick and easy. Having just the bar makes me want to get the subwoofer to complete the sound experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another fantastic product by JBL. This 5.0 is one of the best acoustic sound bars I have yet experienced. With speakers in the front, left and right sides, and the top it packs a full surround sound system in a little bar.
Comparing this to the 2.1 or 2.0 surround sound units with the separate subwoofer attachment I would say this speaker is for someone who wants Clarity over bass. Now don't get me wrong I love the output and highs out of this unit but for me it's not enough Bass. This would do fantastic for someone sho is focused on mids and highs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only received this 4 days ago (took awhile to ship) but so far we have loved it. We had an old older Bose Solo and this gives so much clearer voices and sound, and it's great to use for Bluetooth or Google cast, or works with Alexa so it has every feature you would want. It's very compact but still with some big sound so it is really perfect for my setup.

Great Sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy with this product. Not only does it look awesome, the sound is excellent. I have had soundbars in the past that have wireless subwoofers and although this does not come with a wireless subwoofer, it still has excellent base.
The speaker has a very clean display that shows if you are connected through bluetooth, HDMI, TV, etc. which is very easily controlled from the top of the device or the remote. I use it for both movies and listening to music.
Watching movies is so much more thrilling with this soundbar as it enhances the experience compared to the traditional tv speakers. The bluetooth connection is seamless and the quality is crisp. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking to enhance their music listening/movie experience. The mount is very easy to install and it looks custom mounted under the TV as well.
JBL has done it again! Another great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my bedroom casue I didn't need as big of a bar for it and this was an excellent choice! It really is nicer to have clearer sound in the bedroom with this. Love being able to cast music to it from my Android phone while cleaning too. I like the little marquee on the front that displays. Great buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really happy I got this product, first of all, i just want to say wow!
I've had JBL Boost Tv which was pretty good, now with the multibeam is another story.
The sound quality is just amazing, even though it is smaller than other sound bars.
this new virtual dolby atmos tech is just another level, you do not need an subwoofer in order to get the best of it, it has it all. it provides an immersive listening experience, very compact, very reasonable price for all you get.
Try it! you will not regret it!

Perfect for our bedroom TV!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very interesting soundbar ideal for smaller rooms. I have tested it over the past couple of days both in my
Living room where I currently have a 2.1 channel soundbar set up with a wireless woofer and in my bedroom where I was using to built in speakers.
Living room where I currently have a 2.1 channel soundbar set up with a wireless woofer and in my bedroom where I was using to built in speakers.
First my experience in the living room replacing the old system. This is a room that’s roughly 15x20 with a 65 inch screen positioned about 10 feet from the couch. I watched trailers for several action movies on Netflix and Disney+, Guardians of the Galaxy, And some episodes of clone wars. The sound was impressive for such a compact soundbar. I noticed it was taking up about 20% less space than its predecessor. Easily noticeable. Calibration was super easy and I found the atmos virtualization passable in this setting. However, ultimately I decided I missed the feedback of a physical subwoofer more than I enjoyed the surround effect. I connected to this tv through HDMI Arc. The sound quality was slightly higher than my current 2.1 set up, but I ultimately moved this to the bedroom.
In the bedroom this soundbar totally exceeded expectations. It fits nicely on top of my drawers and looks premium. This TV is much older and so the only
Option was to connect through toslink cable. This room is roughly 10x15 and the chair is about 12 feet from screen. In this smaller, more enclosed room I was truly impressed. I knew it would be a big upgrade but after several more clone wars episodes I decided I liked it so much for the space and that it was here to stay. Perfect place for it and couldn’t recommend it more for bedrooms and dens/caves.

I tried setting up the smart features while testing audio. Airplay 2 worked very well. Multi room audio was a breeze. I did not have the same experience with the Google features. Adding it to the my
Google home app failed repeatedly and the “ok Google” feature labeled on the packaging doesn’t seem to work. Or maybe that’s only because it hasn’t connected correctly. Not sure. Either way that is the main reason this got a 4 instead of a 5. Was hoping that Google assistant was on board the way the box made it look, maybe it will be in a future firmware update
