JBL - BAR 700

It’s supposed to be, but I don’t think it produces enough love and bass, it’s also much smaller than the 990D’s sub. At loud volumes it’s fine, but I’m not always up for listening to music or movies at max. I have a JBL Bar 700 and the bass on that is MUCH better

A Samsung would be better than a TCL, even the Q800F or D. Sony is nice, but not worth the price. I recently had a theatre bar 8 and sw5 sub for about 1700, not worth it for what I got. LG is pretty cost effective, but their bass has always been lack luster. So if bass is your main priority i would get a JBL, like the 700 or 1000

I did, but returned it. One (non-incentivized) review of the Q75H described the sound as muddled which TCL compensates by playing louder. This is true of the Q65H as well. TCL loves to pay people for 5 star reviews. I bought a JBL BAR 700. 

I had the Bar 5.1 w/ detachable surrounds years ago and it was a great sounding one...until the batteries died in the surrounds and I had to ditch the whole thing. I watched a video on YouTube on how to change the batteries, but it required disassembling the whole speaker so I gave up. It took about 4 years for the batteries to get really bad in the surrounds. I switched to micro USB charging for a bit but there was a weird hissing sound in the surrounds when plugged in. Through the bar 5.1 out and got the Q990D for living room, and Sonos Arc Ultra for my small but cozy man cave.

Okay. So I literally just purchased this exact same soundbar (JBL 5.1) from Best Buy for that price. I have only had it for a few days. But I can say this thing is nice. I upgraded from a 2.1 JBL soundbar and immediately noticed the increased clarity from the additional speakers. Also, I would say it’s probably going to be the best sound bar you could get for $250. At $600, it is a different discussion. But since I paid $280 out the door, I consider that a stellar price for this sound bar. P.S. For what it’s worth to anyone. The 10” subwoofer has enough bass to vibrate my chest when I sit on my couch about 10’ away. So, it’s plenty loud enough for music.

wtf I just paid $350 for the JBl 5.1 soundbar with subwoofer and lemme tell you this setup sounds amazing and the subwoofer is super bassy and pounds!

For sure the JBL. I had it and absolutely loved it until I upgraded to the Sonos arc. Not to mention the deal on that JBL, you can’t beat it. The 10 inch sub really gets down too. Plus Hisense is not great quality imo

Yeah, one of the ones OP had was a 3.1, only the JBL is a 5.1. Alls I’m saying is that just because the other suggested ones are 3.1 doesn’t disqualify them because they are 3.1 as one of the original choices was only 3.1

Jbl soundbars are literally the best "bang" for your buck. My 5.1 destroys 95% of these new atmos bars bass wise

I got it by chance at Walmart it knocks shit off my shelf the bass is so good

I have the jbl it is amazing

Just got JBL 5.1 from bestbuy for $270 for my C4. (Original price $599). They have this promo price for Bestbuy members which cost you nothing to become when buying this bar. Love the rumbling bass. The sub it comes with is 10” btw.
