  1. Nate

    I wanted to upgrade my sound bar set up with something more punchy or base heavy and I definitely did that with this. Setting it up was easy. You’ll have to mess with the eq to get the most out of it but overall I’m happy with it.

  2. UnhappyS10

    this couple delivers a big boomin sound , just needs a little help with clarity. I made some adjustments to the tv which made it ideal for movies and daily tv.

  3. DenisB

    Best sound quality i ever needed . This is one product I didn’t know i needed that much.

  4. giasma97

    Love this setup! Got it to replace the receiver and tower speakers so it wouldn’t be as cluttered and have wires everywhere. Definitely don’t recommend booking it up via Bluetooth because the connection was always lost. Hardwired it in after losing connection multiple times. Bass is just right and clear sound

  5. RicardoA

    Great sound I love the deep heavy bass.
    Great quality.

  6. DonnaJ

    Excellent, highly recommended, would purchase it again

  7. JaneS

    I have no idea. You cancelled my order the day of delivery with no explanation. You have requested a review multiple times. I am not impressed.

  8. MichaelG

    Jbl Bar 500 has a mixed sound that fits a lot of people and their different taste in sound

  9. Jokers11

    For the price. I’m very satisfied with this setup. I can’t even turn it up all the way. Sound is outstanding very easy to set up.

  10. Unknown

    Excellentt is the best sound bar…………………………………………….

  11. DavidB

    horrible product. never worked and the geek squad tech said they are junk!

  12. Brucewon

    Sounds great, easy setup, lots of bass. Good purchase when on sale.

  13. FWJester

    I’m thrilled with this purchase. This sound and bass are incredible. It far exceed my expectations.

  14. KevinC

    Have to unplug and reconnect every time I turn the tv off

    Sound quality is excellent but has a lot of software issues

  15. EricG

  16. JessicaD

    Adding this to an existing tv created a whole new experience!

  17. Cm59

    sounds very good, looks like a movie theater!!!!!!

  18. KevinK

    Had the JBL 500 soundbar for bout 2 months now and am satisfied. Sound quality is great, setup was easy. Very good for the price as compared to the much more pricey Yamaha that it replaced! Nice soundbar!

  19. NAVYRetiredVETERAN

    Buy this! Guys, the sound out of this is super loud and clear. I can’t even turn it up all the way because it’s to much. The bass in the subwoofer is bomb! You can feel it throughout the house. It will shake your furniture. You don’t need any extra speakers . This setup gives you some IMAX sound . No joke.

  20. DannyC

    Sound bar works excellent. Only wish I would have purchased sooner .

  21. happycustomer

    We love the sound bar and sub. Easy to use, and great sound.

  22. JDB5892

    This sound bar is a bargain. Setup was very simple and the subwoofer connected automatically. I’ve read reviews from others saying they couldn’t adjust the sound or couldn’t hear voices appropriately. Evidently, they are the problem. I’ve had no such issues and will say its worth more than I paid for it. JBL hit a homerun with this one.

  23. Unknown

    Upgrade from Samsung to this Amazing sound bar,
    Clear sound, easy installation, love the app
    Overall happy with this sound bar

  24. OscarR

    Sound bar work perfectly and I recomend to anybody

  25. FLSTNOL

    Great sound and base! Just buy it, you won’t regret it.

  26. Shine

    Just listening to this system, it can use some additional help as far as clear sound .i think the jbl 1000 sounds a lot better , due to it rear speaker

  27. Excellent

    This was supposed to be an ‘open-box-excellent’ but what I got was nothing more than the hardware in a torn-up box.
    Immediately returned.

  28. Brokedaddy

    Incredible sound from such a small size sound bar.

  29. NathanielD

    Speaker sounds great but doesnt really matter when it consistently disconnects from hdmi to blue tooth or just turns off all of a sudden . Very dissatisfied

  30. John

    Bass is exellent. Living room pefrect loudness at like 50%. 4k passthough was a must. Near 0 lag bith audio bideo. For clearer dialogue keep tje bass at like lvl 2-3. The network connectivity/app is trash. Doesnt need to be ivercomplicated and not only does it not increase the audio quality, hern thrning volume up or down the, the audio gets choppy and will start movi g up and down in its own. Not aure if its a cec thing, but took it off thr network, deleted the app, and has been flawless since then

  31. FelixD

    I loved it. This speaker is very nice. Highly recommended

  32. Dimple

    I wanted to love this jbl 500 soundbar and subwoofer but every 2 days when you turn on the tv, there is no sound from the soundbar. The only way to get sound is to unplug and plug it back in. When it works, it sounds good. I called jbl and troubleshoot but day after same issue no sound from sound bar. No one seems to know why this is happening. Cables are in the right place but the intermittent turning off is annoying.

    I paid too much to have to be unplugged and plugging in every 2 days. I can’t really enjoy the theater experience. Sad but I have to return and get something else.

  33. EdwinM

    Sounds great and easy set up. For the price, zero complaints

  34. Ponnam

    Very nice experience with surround dolby atmos. This is very reasonable price we purchased during thanksgiving time.

  35. LPZEE

    It wouldn’t connect to the TV more time looking at it than listening to it. I’m glad I returned it.

  36. Lloyd

    Great product. Recommended. Sound quality on point. Downside is the speaker does not sync with TV volume/control.

  37. Josh

    For the price you pay the remote feels really cheap

  38. JaniceJ

    Bought this for my husband when his expensive sound bar went out after 7 years. I told him this was just a temporary fix until he can get another system. After connecting it, we were surprised at the quality of sound in our large room. He stated that this works just fine and no need to buy a more expensive system.

  39. JaedenG

    Great product, sounds incredible. Instructions need to be more clear for installation. Had a cable in the instructions we assumed was needed but it wasn’t.

  40. JJoseph

    Easy to install— great cinematic sound. Can easily be added to you tv remote,

  41. Anna

    I was looking for a new audio system or sound bar for my living room and all the ones I tested sounded ok but didn’t really stand out then I found this and wow absolutely blew me away the clearness of voices and deep bass are perfect 10/10 would recommend to all

  42. SamuelP

    Big improvement over an older Samsung 3.1 system with less power. This soundbar and subwoofer checks all the boxes. Great sound and bass. JBL app works great too. Syncs the sound to the room and you can also use your phone as a remote and also adjust EQ to your preference. App also updates software

  43. Vivek

    A great product. Very happy to have it! Although if you like in a quiet neibourhood, it can cause issues.

  44. JodenirM

    Quality son, I am very satisfied with the product.

  45. Cooljamie

    Love my sound bar got it for a deal before Christmas nice and loud too I stay in a condo so I can’t have it all the way up but still nice to have

  46. RodneyJr

    Overall I’m pretty nice system for the money I work till other people that’s pretty good unit you know if they were in the market to buy one

  47. AmyV

    Love it! Easy to install and set up. Sounds clear and immersive.

  48. Jlee

    I wanted to add a theatre quality sound to my new 65” TV. Bought this JBL sound system at a great sale price and have not been disappointed! The sound from JBL Dolby Surround sound ATMOS system is fantastic! It’s like we are at the theater with the quality of sound this unit delivers. It truly makes movie watching more enjoyable. It s very easy to set up using the JBL app and the app also has a remote built in so you don’t always have to look for a misplaced remote. The app has a sound equalizer that allows you to set the sound settings to your specific sound and the bass has 5 output levels which can really put out some deep bass tones. I got the unit for less than $350 which is a great value for the sound quality this unit produces!

  49. DarrylB

    This soundbar is the absolute Bomb! I would recommend this soundbar to anyone looking for that powerful bass and great sound quality while watching sports, movies, and tv in general. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the great sound quality and felt that bass roaring as I enjoyed a movie with my family. We felt like we were inside the movie.

  50. mrdwilliams

    its a good system the base sounds goods the soundbar sounds good sounds like im at a night club or movie theater
