JBL - JBL Bar 800

I bought Bravia 7 last month, and wanted to pair it up with a Samsung Soundbar as i was using a decade old soundbar from Samsung. Went searching and testing out different brands soundbars at the stores, in the end only JBL soundbar impressed me the most. I got JBL Bar 800 in the end, the sound quality is really good and loud enough to fill my living room. I like the feature of the detachable speakers that is able to make the real surround sound, rather than the sound from soundbar reflecting to the ceiling to mimic surround sound. I was deciding JBL Bar 800 and Samsung Q800D at that time. The sales man in the store, recommended the highest end LG soundbar to me, but I wasn't impressed by it.

The short answer is no… here’s the deal… option 1: you can’t afford much so you’re really weighing up what the impact is if you value Raman over sound quality then get a solo bar… Option2: you can afford a sub but you’d really love something else… a good bar will do all you need it to for a room that size you can add to it later! I just bought a Samsung q700 for $400 AUD and it sounds 90% as good as my JBL 800… listen to a dozen in the store.. be a pest.. make them hate you… work out what sounds good and what’s on sale where you live…

I've got the JBL 800, basically got it half price. I too was very suss about it's performance. Overall very impressed! Bass is super powerful but with the app the EQ is highly adjustable to meet your needs. Always had great experience with their Bluetooth speakers. Now run it full time with the TV.

Not much love for my JBL 800 😪
