5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Sound Bar Period

The sound quality of this is amazing. So easy to set up. I upgraded from the Bar 500 and man what a difference it is. Love the detachable speakers so you get the full surround sound experience. It’s definitely a quality sound bar and I got it on sale and saved quite a bit of money. Definitely worth it!!!

Great sound with easily adjustable control. Wish the surround could go up a notch more but ok.

Great sound, rear speakers could be louder. I have a Samsung BluRay, an XBox series X, and a Fire TV connected to Sony Bravia. Multiple CEC/HDMI/EDID lockouts with no video. Never resolved Fire TV so I had to plug it directly in TV HDMI. Hours of troubleshooting, many video settings changes on XBox before I got it to work. Any more lockouts and I am sending it back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rear speakers can't be heard! Base only at medium volume.

2026-03-02    -Real Review

Overall the surround sound doesn't give a good Dolby Atmos or immersive directional sound. This is more like a really good soundbar system with good clarity and a really good base or sub when the volume is turned up, but without Atmos directional sound.When cranked up, the speaker bar and sub are loud, have strong base, and sound clear. The rears are underpowered to the point they have zero effectiveness. The rears are like a whisper at best and can't be heard unless you put your ears up to the rear speaker. The rears are completely overpowered by the rest of the system. This is with all the remote control settings turned up.At normal everyday listening you can't really hear the base (sub speaker) all that well. The sub doesn't kick in until medium volume, even with the equalizer tuned up. It's not like the sub is underpowered, rather more like a programming issue. You mostly only hear the main bar, which does sound really good. But I fully expected the base to work better at low volumes and the rears to have a decent effect. They might as well not sell the rears and take some money off the price. Basically I think the bar 500 and bar 700 would sound comparable given the weak rears speakers.

The Controller just randomly stopped working after a single month of usage.

It sounds great and connects to all my blue tooth devices. The issue I had is the controller stopped working? It just decided one day it wouldn't function anymore. So now I use my projectors controller to control it BUT I still need to turn it on manually by walking up to it. So I can't give it a perfect score :(

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Soundbar I Have Owned!

I always purchased Vizio soundbars with my TV, and the sound has always been garbage! My husband and I are blown away by the JBL unit! Very clear dialogue, rich full sound, so easy to set up with the app and easy create a wireless surround sound experience. I wish I would have purchased this years ago! We will certainly enjoy watching movies and television again!
