Bar 500: 5.1-Channel soundbar with MultiBeam™ and Dolby Atmos®, Black

Hands down one of the best... For this price point... Rocks the house . 10" sub hits pretty hard... I've bought 3!.. waited for them to go on sale... 600 bucks is too high.. so I got them around 400. So I left in my cart waiting for sales.. I have 2.. one inside house. Other is outside TV.. it rattles windows . I bought my daughter one for when she moved to her own apartment.. she loves it too.. hope this helps. JBL is good stuff.. and the value is there when caught on sale.

The JBK Bar 500 sound bar met my expectations and I am very pleased with my pyrchase. The shipper did not iver promise the delivery time. I fact the sound bar arrived several days before the promised date. Unpacking and coonection to my TV went smoothly. Because I am not knowledgeable in how electronic devices work, I had some trouble understanding the setup process. The JBL Support representative walked me through the process very carefully and with admirable patience. I cannot comnend JBL highly enough for their support. Now that the speaker is set up properly I am enjoying the full spectrum of sound from the television and other devices as well. The JBL sound bar replaced a surround sound system with a tuner snd multiple speakers that was damaged by a lightening strike. The sound quality is equal to, or even better than that sound system. I have been particularly impressed with the sub woofer performance. As I watched the movie Braveheart again, the sound of battle and especially of the thunder charging horses transported made the battles of Stirling Bridge and Falkirk come to life. I commend this product to thise who are looking for a sound bar that does what it supposed to do.

I recently purchased the JBL Bar 500 and I’m very impressed with the sound quality. The audio is clear, powerful, and the bass from the subwoofer is deep without being overwhelming. Dolby Atmos really adds a great surround sound experience, especially for movies and TV shows. Setup was quick and easy, and the design looks sleek and modern. Overall, it’s a great soundbar that delivers excellent performance and value. Highly recommended!

I am extremely happy with the JBL Bar 500: 5.1-Channel soundbar with MultiBeam™ and Dolby Atmos. I returned a couple units that were good but I wanted more bass and boy, I got with this unit. The subwoofer sets this unit apart from others in the same $300-400 price range. With the ability to control it from the included remote and with even more user controls from a smart phone, you cant beat the sound quality and customizable equalizer settings for music, movies, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to Listeners who enjoy bass and dont want to spend $1000

While you will never get the separation a surround system can provide, this a an excellent way to get outstanding sound quality and plenty of bass for your TV viewing. The dialog is clear when watching shows and movies and there are some pretty cool effects produced from both surround and Atmos sources. Music also sounds very good. Other than the lack of stereo separation and the absence of rear speakers, this is a very good system. I do feel like the app could provide more functionality though.

Excellent sound quality!

Sound is good.. Not super loud on high...needs some better controls to adjust the bass and treble.. Probably going to hook it up with a DAC ir preamp that has more adjustments available and update review

I ordered this JBL Bar 500: 5.1-channel soundbar. When it arrived at my dwelling the packaging looked as if it had been used for shipping this item too many times. The edges and seams of the boxes showed signs of being torn and retaped many times. I had a professional installer install the sound bar and subwoofer so I knew that it was handled with care. Being that Amazon doesn’t advertise this product anymore I figured that I had probably purchased the last one available. Having now used it for six weeks I find that I can hear it producing beautiful surround sounds. After about 3 to 5 minutes, it shuts itself off completely and will not come back on for at least an hour! Neither the external switch nor the remote with new batteries, will turn it back on! I have a feeling that I was sold someone’s junk! According to the seller it is not replaceable or refundable! Do not buy this Model if it ever gets advertised again!
