Overview
This JBL soundbar is rated at 7.1 channels with 780 watts of power, and it connects over HDMI, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. It measures roughly 45.8 inches wide and can be wall mounted or set on a stand in front of a TV.
780 watts and a 7.1 channel rating place this soundbar toward the higher end of the category rather than an entry level bar speaker. HDMI plus wireless Bluetooth and Wi-Fi cover both a direct TV connection and streaming audio from a phone or network source.
- 7.1 channel configuration
- 780 watts rated power
- HDMI, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
- Wall mount capable
Who it's for
Works for a TV setup that wants surround style sound from a single soundbar with HDMI passthrough and wireless streaming, and that has wall space or a stand for a 45.8 inch wide unit. Not the pick for a small TV stand with limited width.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 7.1 channel sound from one soundbar
- 780 watt power rating
- HDMI plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity
- 45.8 inches wide, needs a large stand or wall space
- 32 pounds, heavier than compact bars
Performance notes
The 7.1 channel configuration at 780 watts is built to spread sound wider than a typical 2 or 3 channel bar, using HDMI for a direct TV link and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for streaming from other devices. Wall mount hardware compatibility lets it sit above or below a mounted TV instead of only on a stand.
