Couldn’t be happier
I have heard the sound bar now for over three weeks and I think it’s brilliant, the sound level is excellent, the quality of the sound is excellent and it was very easy to set up. I’m so pleased I purchased this.

Simple design, powerful sound!
The soundbar works great. Only issue with the refurbished was that it was missing a power cord. Requires two cords. One for the bar and one for the sub. I only received one.

Great system.
This is my second JBL bar and I love their products. We have this one in the bedroom and it gives off plenty of sound. As long as I need sound systems I will continue to buy their products.

Race car shop
I put this system i a 1500 sqft shop and i will say i am more than impressed with how it sounds. Working on cars and watching the big screen has never been nicer! Highly recommend.
