Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert

With a home cinema set, you can enjoy vibrant sound that completely surrounds you.
Thanks to True Dolby Atmos, sound feels spacious because it bounces off the ceiling and walls toward your seat.
Thanks to voice enhancement, voices sound clear and crisp, so you can understand every word.
Because of its wide size, the soundbar only fits neatly under televisions that are 55 inches or larger.
You can’t connect any speakers to the soundbar, so you can’t use it in your multi-room setup.

Review is 7,2 out of 10.

Expensive and rear speakers disappoint me a bit

very powerful subwoofer
Having to reset Stereo every time

We've had this rather pricey JBL soundbar for a few weeks now, and these are the things we've noticed.

Setting it up was incredibly smooth. It has a calibration mode that senses exactly where the rear speakers are positioned and adjusts everything accordingly.

That subwoofer is a beast of a thing; it doesn't match our TV stand at all :( I mean, it's really big.

The remote is basic and works just fine.

Sound quality: I have to admit, for that price, I'm quite disappointed. Especially those rear speakers. For example, when I click on YouTube Music and put on a playlist, the sound from the rear speakers is like old, heavily compressed MP3s from the last century. It squeaks and whines a bit, you know? It makes listening to tunes with surround sound really unpleasant.

About those rear speakers: If you don't want ambient sound but just stereo from all speakers simultaneously, you can fix that via the app.

Clever idea, but incredibly annoying that you ALWAYS have to select it again. Biggest drawback ever. Because when watching TV or chilling with music, we want that simple stereo, not a circus. Come on JBL, add a 'standard mode' to the app for that, please.

And if you want a rear speaker... When I pick it up to move it, I click a little hat on, but the thing isn't secured at all. I almost fell over trying to lift it by that hat (they stick on with magnets).

Subwoofer:

It really rocks, much better than my old little Samsung one.

In short, a pretty good set, but those annoying little things will have me throwing it back on Marktplaats soon. I expected (especially from the back) much more fireworks from JBL. The hype was enormous -> the reality was much less epic.

Review is 9,6 out of 10.

Great for movies and series

crisp bass
clear sound
design fine but not particularly beautiful

Excellent product with clear sound and powerful bass. Easy to install using the app, and calibration is quick and also via the app. The design could have been better; it's a fairly large bar and has a simple appearance.
