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!
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.

A great device
I'm straight in love. A really great device. The initial installation and setup was very easy. Thanks to the quickly installed app, everything went smoothly. The connection to the TV and the associated devices such as satellite receivers, Blueray players and games consoles was extremely easy. The connection to mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets or PCs can also be quickly solved by everyone.
The sound is more than convincing, especially the bass. Watching TV is fun and the films on DVD come across very differently.

Really great overall sound package
I was always skeptical about spending so much money on a TV sound system, but this year I dared to do it.
The soundbar with subwoofer offers good bass, which I actually can't turn to the fullest level, otherwise my whole apartment vibrates: I like it very much.
The surround sound also offers a really great result, which really sounds like premium sound, especially with films that were designed for it.
I particularly like the fact that it is WiFi-capable and that I can easily control it as a WiFi speaker from my cell phone, e.g. on Spotify.
In any case, this works without any problems and the automatic switch-on as soon as the TV is switched on works perfectly.
Overall, the soundbar with subwoofer is already in a higher price segment, but it is still worth it for this price.

Simplify Your Audio
I was extremely apprensive about trying a Soundbar and Subwoofer combination as a surround sound option. It didn't seem likely that such a set-up would be able to deliver the sound you would normally expect from a traditional arrangement using 5 or more speakers. With this economical solution that was not the case. It delivered beyond my expectations and did this with a simpler, more minimalist look. The audio clarity was comparable to many higher priced products (unnecessarily high), found at audiophile stores. JBL is known for it's unflinching quality and high standards to please the most exacting customers. Give up the "stockpile" of speakers without sacrificing a true surround sound experience...

Product Q&A
What is the difference between this soundbar JBL bar 500 and the JBL 5.1 w/ soundbar.
The main difference between the JBL Bar 500 and the Bar 5.1 is the Bar 5.1 has detachable surround speakers while the Bar 500 has none. The Bar 500 is also compatible with the JBL One App which helps you easily set up, personalize settings, and browse the integrated music services to find your favorite song.
