r/SoundbarsWhy do many soundbars fall flat with music playback?
about 2 months ago

Ya I demoed The JBL 700 and 1300x and they were both excellent for music as well as movies. Bought the 700. I also listened to the Yamaha favorite, good for movies but fell down on music. My opinion.

r/SoundbarsI want a Sonos but should I just get the Samsung Q990D/F?
4 months ago

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

r/SoundbarsWhat's the verdict on the TCL Q65H?
7 months ago

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 paired a JBL Bar 700 up with my LG because of the wireless detachable rear speakers and Dolby Atmos support. Sounds amazing.

r/SoundbarsFirst day with the JBL Bar 1300x mk2
4 months ago

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.

r/SoundbarsSoundbar with no subwoofer: Yes or no?
6 months ago

I have the jbl 5.1 sound bar. I was so impressed I bought 2 more so I have 3 total in my house. Now here’s the catch: I paid 200-250$ for each one vs the 5-600 they normally sell for. I don’t think it’s worth that much. The replacement for the 5.1 is the jbl 500, same basic design newer speaker packaging which looks better and you can find it factory refurbished for the 300$ range. I got this sound bar because the sound stream technology that reflects off the walls to give you a 5.1 experience actually works really well. Is it ever going to replace a real Atmos system? No. I’m in the process of selling my house that had an in ceiling 5.2 system, so using the network I’d play music on the main denon receiver and then the 3 sound bars… 2 in a bedroom, one of them in the loft upstairs and the whole entire house was filled with rich, clear sounding music So when I downsized, I obviously couldn’t take my inceiling system with me but for a smaller room/apartment like I live in right now that JBL sound bar… it’s amazing.

r/SoundbarsShould I go with the JBL or the Samsung?

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

r/SoundbarsIf you had to choose between the two, which would you? Want to stay under $200 USD

I have the Jbl 5.1 and I higy recommend you if you want a big sub. My friend has had his for 6 years. I had to go and pick one up. It was $250 which is 50% off at best buy . His still sounds like mine does and his is 6 years old.
