Amazing
I recently purchased the JBL Bar 500 soundbar, and I've been thoroughly impressed with its performance. The audio quality is exceptional, delivering clear and powerful sound with a deep bass that adds a cinematic feel to my movie nights. The design is sleek and modern, and it fits well in my living room setup. Setting it up was a breeze, and the remote control is intuitive. The variety of connectivity options, including Bluetooth, HDMI, and optical inputs, make it versatile for different devices. Overall, the JBL Bar 500 has significantly enhanced my audio experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home entertainment system.

Great sound!
I give the Bar 500 a 4.5 out of 5. I didn't want a system that was overly complex with speakers everywhere so this fit the bill. I'm very happy with the sound and the sub does a real nice job. I think this is a really nice set up for the money. I have had an issue with the soundbar not always working when I turn on the TV. I've had to unplug the soundbar and plug it back in and then it syncs back up. I also wish that the volume on the TV were better synced with the soundbar. If I go up one increment in volume on the soundbar it moves the TV sound up 3 increments. I'm hoping that a future software upgrade will fix this issue.

Very Impressed with the Loud Sound!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never been a fan of "Sound Bars" because I had heard other Bars and wasn't impressed. But this Sound Bar is not what I expected. The clarity and bass is outstanding. I installed in my son's room to his gaming console.. and wow!, what a difference. It shakes the bedroom door. The Bass is Solid and Clear, no distortion so far. Music sounds great as well. He plays Rock, Hip Hop, and some Cumbias lol and Sounds awesome. Cons... Iam having to tell him to lower the volume all the time.. lol and his sister now wants to watch movies in his room all the time lol. The remote is very easy to use as well. Sound Bar also works with the HDMI ARC compatible Tv's which makes it easier to control both devices (Tv & Sound Bar) with the same Remote. Definitely recommend it!!

JBL have done a brilliant job with the model, the price is very competitive and the specifications fit, all the needs required for the user experience.
I have been confidently using the The JBL sound Bar for 4 weeks now. It has given me an amazing experience when watching movies and playing music, the fast Bluetooth connection and amazing Dolby Atmos sound quality brings the cinema sound right to your home, The built in wireless connection for the sound bar to the bass box is very unique and makes setting up so easy and precise.
I would highly recommend purchasing the JBL BAR 500 5.1 Wireless Sound Bar.
In my opinion the Sound bar offers brilliant quality for the price and is adaptable to the size of your home.
Congratulations to JBL. This is an amazing wireless Sound bar .

Bigger Sounds Better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the tight bass.Most soundbars subwoofers are 6 or 8 inch.This comes with a 10 in with a total of 590 watts so this is where you'll notice the difference.While most underpowered smaller subs struggle with distorted bass this one has much to spare.From videos to movies the system is cristal clear and bass hits tight and hard.The sound is truly amazing. Coming from a smaller unit i definitely noticed the difference.Now it does have it's drawback primarily the size of the sub its 17in tall and 12 x12 wide/depth.The soundbar is 2in height 4 in depth 40 in wide.A 50 in plus tv is a must for a bar of this size.It comes with all the latest tech and sound features.The remote is simple to use and the install with hdmi arc took 2 min.The bracket and screws are included for those who prefer a cleaner look and mount it.Love that you can see the volume and settings on soundbar with its built-in lcd.The materials and quality feel and look very high end.If shopping for a soundbar you cannot go wrong with this one.

It's a pure source of joy
Just bought this for Christmas: really impressed with the sound experience and value for money.
Tried it with music on Spotify, TV, cinema: all great - quality, clear sound, amazing bass but not too aggressive. Loved the app: you can set up your personalised EQ and easy calibration for surround sound in your room. It's a pure source of joy if you're looking for an affordable all-in-one easy sound system!

JBL BAR 500 PACKS A PUNCH OF SOUND!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing sound! The JBL Bar 500 soundbar is very well constructed. Just make sure to calibrate the soundbar to your room with the settings to get it dialed in. It has 5.1 surround with Dolby Atmos. Listening to movies can be heard very clearly with dialogue enhancement technology integrated on the soundbar. Amazingly, sounds can also be heard from different angles without any rear surround speakers.The soundbar does have front and side firing speakers, but I noticed no up-firing speakers. It does connect via hdmi E-Arc and has an additional hdmi input, ethernet, usb, and optical input. However, I wish there was an additional HDMI input on the soundbar. Overall, the 10-inch subwoofer, clarity, Dolby Atmos, and punchy base do make up for an immersive sound experience. This soundbar can definitely put out some power. A whopping 590 watts total can be heard when you raise the volume with no distortion. Plus, using the JBL app and listening to music is very impressive with clear highs and lows and a boomy base from the sub. With the JBL One app, you can customize your own personal settings and connect it via WIFI. I like that you can link your voice assistant device and ask to stream your music to the soundbar. The JBL bar 500 is an excellent soundbar with great sound and base that can fill a room when watching movies or listening to music in a convenient package.

Great midlevel soundbar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Superior sound with great bass. This sound bar subwoofer combo is perfect. Set up took a bit of time to get the soundbar synced with the TV remote. Other than that, superior sound, sleek design, great bass.
