I got this last dec. I find it very difficult to connect it to wifi. I'm not even sure I've successfully downloaded the latest software update. The usb music playback its extremely primitive. I like to make usb mp3 playlist. I pop in the usb in the back and there's no, i mean zero functionality. It plays but it starts from beginning to end you can't skip a song, repeat, nothing.

We appreciate your feedback. Wi-Fi setup can be done via the Google Home App. 1. Connect your Android or iOS device to your home Wi-Fi network. 2. Download the Google Home app. Sign in with your Google account. If you do not have one, create a new one. 3. Follow the app instructions to complete the setup. Please note that USB playback is only available on the US version of this device. It supports MP3 files. The feature is basic, allowing playback only; skipping and repeating are not supported. USB playback is an add-on feature and may not be optimized. Software updates occur automatically when you're connected to the internet. Should you require further assistance, please contact us.
The JBL Bar 5.0 MultiBeam exceeded my expectations! The sound quality is outstanding with deep bass and clear highs. The MultiBeam technology truly enhances the audio experience, making movies and music more enjoyable. Setup was a breeze, and it fit perfectly in my living room. Highly recommend!

This soundbar is mediocre. I expected better sound quality and features given the price point. I would recommend either splurging on a higher quality product or buying the cheapest alternative you can find.

Met expectations I appreciate it. Note: I was National Manager of JBL from 1970 to 1977 responsible for all sales to retailers in the U.S. Great then as owned by Harman International and Sidney Harman, and still great today. What a wonderment indeed!
Best soundbar I've had. 1 thing would make it better with Google assistant is a built in mic. Also the ability to voice command tv off through hdmi arc. To tvs without google assistance
