Bar 9.1

I currently have the jbl bar 9.1 and it’s all I need

The Sonos app is unreliable.. I traded mine for a JBL bar 9.1 and I couldn’t be any happier

I would like to know how Its better compared to my jbl 9.1 2020

How are you liking it for just normal TV watching? Yeah that’s what I’m hoping for as well. Only seen some sponsored shorts posted. Lol I had the JBL 9.1 and loved it but had a crackling sound. Had to start looking and got the Q990C and sounds amazing but I do want a normal looking living space area where the rear speakers aren’t always out. I found a way to make discrete but still. How are you liking the design and color? Picture wise looks shiny sometimes. Weird question but what are your thoughts on the sub feet?

The “measurement” I use when I get a soundbar is how it sounds for everything I watch, listen and play. A lot of soundbars excel in one but not as great as the other. After it’s the sound quality and bubble it creates. Sonos excel at all of those. Sony with their soundbars that I’ve personally listen to were great at times and others just sounded very off. I did have a JBL 9.1 and loved it after which I had a Q990C. I personally think the tech Sonos uses produces the most cinematic sound where I’m glued to the content and not listening to the sound. This does not mean the other options are bad and at the end of the day it’s going to come down to the sound you like. But I’d say Sonos is one of the best soundbars and system you can get.

I got the jbl 9.1 at goodwill with the sub and detachable speakers for 89.00 this week. It's a wild west rn

Lol bet my jbl 9.1 sounds just as good, and I get rears 🤣

I'm a jbl guy, 9.1 or 11.1 are my favorites but the app support leaves a bit to be desired in these older models 🤷

The goobers on this sub will demand you get a Samsung 900 series but any decent bar with rears and a sub (meaning a good manufacturer not fancy looking temo Amazon crap) will sounds way better then the TV alone. I have a jbl 9.1 and my room is wonky and it's sounds good. The speakers are movable so you can play around with what is most imersive

I own the 9.1 and have for over a year now. It sounds great and I have the sub set up behind my couch and it does the job. The sound from the bar is decent and it does a good job of sending the sound around but I find the detachable surround speakers to be a slight annoyance. You have to remember to put them back each day or they will die, so unless I'm watching an epic movie or some mind-melting music I leave them attached. It is nice to be able to position them in any formation though. My friend has had 2 of the Q series and they are superior quality but also twice as expensive. In my bedroom I am using the LG S60TR 5.1 system and it might be the room acoustics but it sounds better to me. It has the wireless sub like the JBL but also has 2 wireless satellite surround speakers as well. I run the sound bar under the TV, the sub along one wall, and the surrounds are on each side of the bed. These are an amazing amount of sound for the money ($250 USD) and in most practical applications the 5.1 is more than sufficient.

Really its personal needs. I looked into it as my kitchen tv needed a SB so I thought I'd move the JBL9.1 in there and buy a HT setup. But at the time, I wasn't dissatisfied with the JBL when watching movies on the G3. Having the flip the smart mode off every time, and the less than excellent speech clarity isnt ideal. But its not that bad Opportunity cost. I wanted to buy a nice car and start saving for a motorbike. Which trumped my desire for a HT.

How is it with music? Thinking of upgrading my JBL bar 9.1, but I like how the JBL can absolutely blast music
