Review: Fantastic sound bar - Firstly this sound bar is a killer soundbar at the price point (usually around $349 on sale in desertcart). It’s hard to find a good 5.1 soundbar with good subwoofer at this price. I got this on prime early access deal (2nd prime day) for $288, and it was a no brainer at this price! Without prime sale, it’s usually around 299-349, still a great price. Now let’s talk sound quality: I watched Andrew Robinson’s review about this sound bar (please watch it, it’s the only good technical review available from a proven audiophile YouTuber). He praised it well and recommended it and called it the budget sound bar king, even better than the klipsch 600. I was waiting for prime day sale to buy it… Once I got it in, set up was simple. For all iOS users, download the “JBL Bar set up” app, to add the sound bar to Wi-Fi. It’s very simple that way! Subwoofer was pre paired (it should be from factory, don’t know why some people are saying it was not paired!! But it’s easy to pair). Connected the tv input (Sony x900f for me) and it was up and running. Next make sure to do the calibration, it steps up the sound quality considerably. I made sure “smart mode” was “on”, this mode applies JBL sound processing and smartly and effectively turns any stereo input to 5.1 I was surprised! The smart mode actually sounds very good, it widens the sound stage, and you actually feel the surround sound effect. For my room, I actually get the bouncing effect from the side firing tweeters pretty well, nevertheless, sound stage is pretty wide, and you won’t feel like listening to a 2.1 channel sound. Bass was adequate, I tried between 3 and 4, ended up at 3 since it’s pretty balanced there. The sound bar has 5 front firing full range drivers, no tweeter pairs, but I was surprised: there was good and clear treble in the sound and midrange was also very manageable (clear). Dialogues are nice and clear and clearly seems like it comes from the center driver (mimicking the center channel), even at Smart mode ON. People complain that there are no adjustment options, to be honest you don’t need any! Bass can be adjusted from 1-5, and that’s all you need. The eq settings are nicely tuned from factory and to be very honest, I don’t feel like I have to make any changes. I do own a full Sonos Arc set up (5.2.2) and feel like this JBL bar is pretty good at what it does: providing simple 5.1 sound at a reasonable price without offering gimmick features. I also heard people complaining about longevity, so I also got the 3 year plan from desertcart for $33, totally worth it! Peace of mind. Recommend everyone getting it cause you never know when electronics fail. $33 is a bargain. I ordered the soundbar 600 before, returned it cause it clearly sounded a 2.1 sound bar even with surround option “on” and loudness was not adequate. This JBL, which is cheaper, sounds day and night better and I love it! It’s nice and loud, sound stage is wide, and everything is perfectly pre tuned from factory. To sum up, don’t read the negatives, no one can guarantee you anything when it comes to electronics. The sound bar is actually very good, and you won’t be disappointed. But do recommend the 3 year plan ($33), for peace of mind. Even with the added pan, total price is very good and lower than other gimmick sound bars… great job JBL, and thanks Andrew Robinson for an honest video! Check his review out, you will get the real picture…

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this support both dts and dolby?**
A: No. You will need an eARC compliant soundbar if you want DTS as well as Dolby sound. It’s a hardware requirement and cannot be provided with a software update.

**Q: Is the surround any good? Considering it is virtual (multibeam)**
A: With movies encoded in surround sound it works but it's not consistent. It can't compare to a system with discreet rear speakers.

**Q: Is there a way to wall mount the sound bar?**
A: Our JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam comes with 2 x L-shape Wall-mount bracket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install
*by B***N on July 30, 2026*

Great sound

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice, Once It's Installed and Set-Up...
*by B***R on October 23, 2019*

Just purchased this a few days ago, but so far I really like it. The sound is nicely balanced, but I was expecting to have to turn the bass down and that is not the case. I have it set on three (High) and it's got a good thump, without thundering. I haven't heard any "Surround" effects yet, but have only been watching a little network TV so far. Pros: Feels heavy and well made. Sounds and looks very good. Fairly compact - Replaces a big stereo unit and a bunch of speakers that made my wife crazy. Cons: Setup is pretty confusing, especially if you try the "quick start" guide with its one line descriptions and all it's different languages. Read the actual owners manual. There are no on-screen menus to guide you, it's all "hold this button for three seconds to do this, hold that one for three seconds to do that..." One important thing I had to figure out by myself was the HDMI-ARC connection to my TV so it can communicate with the soundbar. Like some reviews I saw on other JBL soundbars, I could not get the soundbar to recognize the HDMI-ARC connection and play the TV sound. Tried other cables, tried connecting directly to the cable box to verify the unit did play the sounds (it did), and other ideas from JBL Technical Support, but...no ARC connection. They were at the point of having me connect an optical cable (which I did not want to do because of the decreased benefits of that cable) or actually returning the unit for a replacement one, when I decided on my own to try resetting my TV to it's factory settings in case it was a TV problem to see what that would do. Bingo. By resetting my VIsio TV, it went through the factory start-up menu and I could stipulate the HDMI-ARC plug for a sound device connection instead of a video input connection. The bar fired-up instantly and all appears to be well now. The wife likes it too, as the sound and especially voices come straight at you, so that's a big plus in my book. I will update this review as time goes by if anything changes. It's not gonna blow your doors and windows out, but it has plenty of power for normal folks and I would recommend it.
