Did you try any Dolby atmos and surround sound video for testing? What's your views on it?

I can see it struggles with those lower frequencies that are dominant in most modern hip-hop/trap beats. It says port is tuned to 35hz, which is nice. But I don't expect it to play lower than 30hz

Wow I put ear phones in the Star Wars sounds Can’t wait to hook my new system up

Great content! You can also compare the JBL Bar 800 and the Bar 1000 in the future.

[ZvIOoZvIKki]

very good quality in terms of bass and balance overall, that 10 inch sub is killing again xD, i like new features also, you shouldn't expect anything less from jbl, maybe more comparison in future?

[allanpennington]

I read a review that said with these JBL sound bars use the same wifi freq as your router hub and thus there can be bad interference. Apparently the hub should be at least 20 feet from the sound bar which seems impossible to achieve in most home set ups. Was this mentioned in the instructions that came with the product?

[allanpennington]

Is 5.1 sound best via the HDMI cable or the Optical connection if you are streaming Netflix for example through a Smart TV?

[gauravg]

Hi, since bar 500 has multi room features ..can u confirm if we may add 2 separate surround speakers to the system..?

[nellight]

Comparison of the JBL bar 500 and JBL 5.1 surround pls

[kman]

I don't like how simple the EQ controls are on the App. I like the ability to adjust individual bands in Hz. It would've been cool if you could choose from basic or advanced EQ settings. Not sure why they didn't make that an option.

[jaspercats]

How is the bass setup on this system, does the sub have low, medium and high settings? Or can you adjust it like my jbl 3.1 system with 0-30 settings on subwoofer, I like that better then low medium high as you can tune it better for bass. Thanks

[theophiluschristopher]

Compare to the jbl 5.1 multibeam which sounds best?

[travelforpeaceandlove]

Can you please do comparison of jbl 5.1 detachable speaker vs jbl 500 pro along with features. I'm a new subscriber for your channel, great content.

[supafly]

What's the volume maxed out at ? Is it the same issue as old 5.1 which was maxed at 32?

[BadslipperSquad]
