Es una excelente compra. Se calienta un poco la barra del lado de apagado. Pero aún así la calidad de sonido es excelente, sonido muy profesional. Nunca se distorsiona, aunque le pongas una canción con súper bajos, lo reproduce sin distorsión. Encantado con mi compra.

i've been using this bar for a little while now and i can say that i love it. its well built and integrate well with my home automations for which i use the bar for.The sound quality is impressive, especially when watching movies. Almost feels like we are there.As i mentioned, i integrated this bar with my home automations using the Airplay streaming functionality. This mean that this speaker can be integrated to Music Assistant / Home Assistant.

I made the mistake I have a Sharp HDMI 65 inch Aquas TV 11 years old so I saw HDMI figured that was the connector we needed and it came with one. Well if your TV doesn't have and HDMI ARC port you probably need an optical connector. I learned the hard way tried frustrated for over 3 hours to figure out how to connect it and support had closed as it was a Sunday. I googled, I U-tubed, I tried it all. I finally gave up and tried connecting to my 32 inch newer Kitchen Viesio TV hmm 5 minutes were were done...... It had a clear HDMI ARC port so easy connect. I was like wow do I have to BUY a NEW TV ??? I don't need a sound bar in my kitchen. I called support the following day and a very nice fellow Paul tried for 90 minutes everything he could think of and nothing worked. Then he asked if I could locate an optical port, yes I did. So no optical connector though so I needed to get one. Paul shipped me one free and said once it arrives he will help connect it and be sure it was working. My conformation said 4- 7 business day on the free cord. I am not a patient woman.I went on Amazon had one next day for 10.00. Connected it myself in 3 minutes and we are Good to go. You just need the right stuff just know your TV and check before you buy what you need to be compatible. Lesson learned. Great sound Bar very pleased and most awesome JBL customer service on the planet. I will have an extra optical cord and I truly appreciated the gesture as well as the support. I definitely recommend this sound bar. Truly is a 10 minute out of the box if you know what connector you need. Enjoying so many movies with a whole different experience and love playing music now on Saturday cleaning day!

I recently purchased the JBL Bar 5.1 Surround 550-Watt 5.1 Channel Soundbar with 10" Wireless Subwoofer, and let me tell you, it delivers an unbelievable audio experience with a lot of boom boom bass!The sound quality produced by this soundbar is simply outstanding. The clarity and crispness of the audio immerse you in a cinematic experience right in the comfort of your own home. The highs and mids are crystal clear, but the real star of the show is the subwoofer. It packs a punch with its deep, rumbling bass that adds a whole new dimension to your favorite movies, music, and games.Setting up the soundbar was a breeze, and the wireless subwoofer adds convenience by eliminating the need for extra cables. The wireless connection is reliable and seamless, ensuring that you can place the subwoofer anywhere in the room to achieve the optimal bass effect.The JBL Bar 5.1 Surround also offers true surround sound, thanks to its 5.1 channel configuration. The rear speakers provide an immersive audio experience, making you feel like you're right in the middle of the action. It's perfect for movie nights or gaming sessions, where you want to feel fully immersed in the audio.One feature that truly impressed me is the ease of control. The soundbar comes with a handy remote that allows you to adjust the settings, including the bass level, to suit your preferences.

The sound quality is really nice. The surround emulation does work. I bought it to use with my LG C2 TV and Xbox Serie X. Both support 120Hz but the sound bar, through HDMI, support only 60Hz so thats a no go for me. So had to hook it up throught optic cable which is a pain in my a$$ to set it up through the TV and console settings. Watching UltraHD blurays is quite disapointing on my end. Seems it has issues passing the sound and end up always having a ticking sound non stop while watching movies. Althought theres no sound problem while gaming or watching normal TV with apps. For unknown reason, sometimes, the bar stop working even if i press buttons on the remote or buttons on the bar. I have to shut it down by unplugging it. The bar has bluetooth but JBL didnt make an app for it which is quite stupid. Going through the bar settings gives me headhaches. You need to hold a certain button for a specific feature which not always work. Overall, the quality is there but because there's no app and doesnt support settings for next gen consoles i would not recommand it to hardcore gamers.

Firstly this sound bar is a killer soundbar at the price point (usually around $349 on sale in Amazon). 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 5.1I 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 Amazon 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…

For my main TV, I had been using an old Onkyo mini receiver, with DaytonB652 bookshelf speakers. I really liked the sound of this system, but it did make for a pretty cluttered TV stand. So, I grabbed this sound bar when I saw it on Vine.So far, I'm fairly impressed with this bar, though the sound quality has been slightly underwhelming (more on that later.)Installation:Quite simple! Plug in power, plug in the optical cable, and you're essentially set! If you want to get fancy, there is more to do, and the manual is okay at guiding you through it. I will mention here that controlling the tone (equalizer) settings seems tough? You have to install an app, I think(?) unless I'm just not seeing the way to do it onboard? I got it to work through the Alexa app (after a few tries) and it works okay (just simple bass/treble/mid).Look:Looks nice! Very clean/modern. LCD display is inobtrusive yet functional. I guess I would have appreciated a wider LCD screen, so there was less scrolling with longer messages. I also like the streamlined remote.Bluetooth:Works great! This was a nice feature that my old system did not have. I can connect my phone directly to the speaker with ease.Sound: This is where I was a little surprised. I always liked the audio of my old mini system, but I still expected this to be an upgrade; it was in some ways, maybe not in others. Now, the bass is CLEARLY an upgrade - it's pretty clean and punchy for such a small package. Not the same as a big old dedicated sub, but nice! On the other hand... the mids/highs seem a little muted/muddy, IMHO. I realize that the Daytons are great speakers, but still, I thought a soundbar of this price would be on par with these cheap bookshelf speakers and a 25-year-old mini receiver... not necessarily. Maybe I just need to tweak it more - I can update if I find the sweet spot that brings up the quality. All this said, the sound certainly isn't bad, just not quite as crisp/clear as I'd like. If you're upgrading from just the TV's built-in audio, you'll be VERY impressed, I'm SURE of that!Overall, this is a solid sound bar and certainly a nice upgrade from your TV's built-in sound, especially for bass-heavy movies and the like. However... if you're a tinkerer/Craigslist-pro, and don't mind a much more cluttered footprint with way more wiring, you might be able to get even better results (besides the bass) with an old, high-quality mini-receiver and a set of Dayton B652s, for maybe 1/3 the price. But that's not for everybody!Recommended, with some slight reservations!
