Overview
Not a single bar that leans on small radiators for bass, this JBL set pairs a soundbar with a separate wireless subwoofer. One HDMI or optical cable links it to the TV, and Bluetooth streams music from a phone.
The separate sub gives movies and games a weight that a lone bar cannot, with very little wiring. Surround comes from processing in the front bar, and there are no Wi-Fi streaming services.
Who it's for
Living rooms and gaming setups where TV speakers sound thin suit it well. Listeners who want true surround from behind the couch need a system with rear speakers.
Pros and cons
- Wireless subwoofer places anywhere near power
- Single HDMI or optical cable setup
- Bluetooth streaming from phones
- Wall bracket included
- No rear surround speakers
- No Wi-Fi or AirPlay streaming
- Subwoofer still needs a power outlet
Performance notes
Bass weight comes from the separate subwoofer, so its spot in the room changes how full the sound is. The surround effect is processed in the front bar, which widens sound but cannot place effects behind you.
