Overview
A movie fan who wants surround without wiring rear speakers gets this renewed (refurbished) JBL soundbar, which uses MultiBeam to bounce sound around the room. A wireless subwoofer adds bass, and Dolby Atmos adds height to supported soundtracks.
Atmos and a separate sub turn a flat TV mix into a room-filling sound. The listing gives conflicting power figures and does not name HDMI or optical inputs, so confirm connections before buying this refurbished unit.
Who it's for
Apartments and family rooms where rear speakers would trip people up suit a bar plus wireless sub. Buyers who need detailed connection specs should find a fuller listing.
Pros and cons
- Wireless subwoofer included
- Dolby Atmos support
- MultiBeam virtual surround
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming
- Renewed unit, not new
- Power figures conflict
- TV inputs not stated
Performance notes
MultiBeam reflects sound off side walls, so the surround effect depends on room shape and wall distance. The wireless sub can go anywhere near an outlet, though corners boost its bass. Atmos height effects only appear on content mixed in that format.
