"reason I opted for JBL is to have the detachable rear speakers, which were the only workable solution for my living room setup."
"I have the 1000 and when I unplug the side speakers and place behind me it’s a very nice atmos coverage. I’m in an apartment."
"I personally needed the true wireless rears. With no power cord."

"The sub also gets very loud (you can feel it), if that's your thing."
"JBLs (which is technically Samsung anyway) has a 10” downfiring sub which will thump like thors hammer… so be cautious of shared walls."
"I bought JBL Bar 1000 for my bedroom in apartment. ... Bass was set at max everyone complained turned down to 3. ... After buying this turned back to max which is 5 and no complaints."

"Yes soundbar makes a huge difference in sound for me. Tv speakers are horrible for sound I have hard time hearing dialog on them. Bought JBL Bar 1000 such a huge improvement."
"dialogue will sound much richer and more distinct."
"For my model (jbl 1000) the equalizer is 7 band. So the middle Band 1k is for voice. If I feel some content has low voice, I usually increase the voice bands."

"Also, the JBL has a mind of it's own when it comes to the HDMI inputs when first powered on. ... It has a hard time staying on just one until it settles down, perhaps because of the cable box and Apple TV each wanting to be dominate. ... Anyway, family blames me for it every time."

"Hey, wondering if your rear speakers are discharging at the same level or not when you are looking at the Jbl one app? ... My only complain with the Jbl bar is that one of the speaker battery discharges faster 🙊"
"They are different, i.e. after 30mins 95% and 93%"
