Loaded with features!
I love this soundbar! Great sound, although you'll need to add a subwoofer if you love bass. Very crisp and very good voice while watching live sports. This bar is loaded with features; android tv, a handy Netflix button on the remote, Bluetooth, optic cable port, WiFi, network ports, 3 HDMI ports, and more. I hooked up my TV, cable box and DVD player directly into the bar. Run everything from there. Hook your TV to HDMI 1. After watching Netflix, simply touch the HDMI button on the remote and the TV automatically returns to HDMI 1. Love this feature! No searching, no pressing the remote to find your hookup. Set up is a breeze. Automatically hooked up to my WiFi. Wish all my electronics were this easy and intuitive. Oh, did I mention voice control? Yup!

Make any smart home smarter
When I received this in the mail I was very excited to open the Link Bar because every JBL package always presents its self very very nicely. Connecting this to any tv is very easy completely making it into a smart tv that you can control with your voice, phone, or the nice remote it comes with! JBL's sound concept is always a step above most speakers and I was not let down with the Link Bar. I listen to a wide variety of music from classical to hip-hop and watch tons of action movies and was more than pleased by the sound and punch this gives without a subwoofer. There is also a button to connect a wireless sub to the Bar, 3 HDMI's, 1 HDMI out (TV ARC), 1 optical, aux, ethernet, and a service outlet. Being an Android TV, there are all the Google apps right from the play store you can download. Overall this is a great product, very easy to set up, and even easier to use with the command "Hey Google".

Simple all in one device for Netflix and Assistant
I mainly use it for streaming my Netflix or YouTube TV content to my TV. The Google Assistant is a nice adder, since I can now use my other JBL Link speaker in a different room. The HDMI ARC support is helpful when I want to use the TV tuner and use the soundbar audio. I have use the Cast feature once so far to send my photos to the TV to show family my recent trip. Nice all around device.

Exactly what I needed
I had been waiting to purchase this since it was originally demonstrated at CES. It has allowed me to consolidate my Google home, Android TV, and speaker system into one device, making my entertainment center much cleaner. Also, because it handles my other HDMI inputs, I can use its remote exclusively (since my TV turns on automatically when a source of detected). Highly recommend.

Fantastic...Better than expected
It arrived today. Setup was easy. Only took a few minutes to have it running. The sound is amazing for the size. I was considering the subwoofer but not sure I need it now. This fills my living room with great sound. All audio ranges are well balanced with dialogue not overpowered. No more closed captions! The look is minimal and fits great under my TV. Streaming is fast. Android TV works great. Only thing missing is Amazon Prime Video. I'd buy this again tomorrow and recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality soundbar. Is it the best? No, but for $400 there are not many better, if any.

Can this speaker be added to Google home speaker groups? As in, I can pair it with all of my other Google speaker devices in the home app?
Thanks for your inquiry. At this time, JBL and Google are working diligently on a software update to allow the Link Bar to connect to other Google Home speakers. We will keep you posted on our progress and should have the update available to our customers shortly, thank you!

To the second question, about 4GB, and no expandable storage at all (no SD or USB ports).

What voice command can I use with the built-in Google Assistant to make the Link Bar change which HDMI source is active? Really hoping to not have to use the remote just to change source.
That's a great question, James. Let's say you have a device connected to HDMI 1 on your soundbar, you can easily say "Hey Google, switch to HDMI 1" and Google Assistant will respond to the command. Make sure to set up the Link Bar on Google Home app to enable Voice assistant.
