Overview

This JBL soundbar pairs a 2.1-channel, 180-watt system with Bluetooth for wireless audio from a TV or phone. Its 38-inch width and tabletop mount design place it in front of a TV rather than on a wall.

A 2.1 setup means stereo speakers plus a low end channel, built into the bar itself given the listed multimedia speaker type. At 22 lb, it has enough heft that its tabletop mount is worth planning space for on a TV stand rather than treating it as a lightweight add-on.

  • 2.1 channel, 180W system
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • 38 in wide tabletop design
  • 22 lb, black finish

Who it's for

TV owners wanting a step up from built-in speakers without running new wiring, connecting over Bluetooth. Not for anyone set on a wall-mounted install, since this ships as a tabletop unit.

Performance notes
