The sound cuts out from time to time.
Otherwise, it's not bad at all, although a subwoofer would be better.
High-quality sound, more than enough for a 10/15 m2 room (bedroom, in my case)
Simple connection and automatic calibration
Good material, delivery on time, delivered with care and works perfectly, I would go through you again for other orders, and I recommend you, thank you.
The setting is very complicated. I haven't managed to do it yet. Even looking at the instructions.
The bar makes a lot of mistakes. Most of the time it doesn't connect properly and you can't hear anything. You have to turn off the TV several times. It's a real waste of time and it annoys me.
The product is in accordance with the description made and the characteristics.
No surprises.
Good buy
Balanced sound, successful surround effect, deep bass.
Easy to use, well thought out source management, multiple connectivity (HDMI, WiFi, Ethernet, AirPlay, BlueTooth).
There is still one bug that has not been corrected: when broadcasting from Airplay, it happens that no sound is emitted even though the Airplay source is displayed by the sound bar and the volume can be adjusted from the phone. The last version of the JBL soundbar software did not fix this problem. I'm waiting for the next version (the bar updates automatically, it's convenient)
There is no manual in French. The one I found on the internet is several dozen pages long: unusable.
Easy connection, minimum space requirement for a very good sound.
Very easy to use remote control.
+ integrated audio chromecast
+ a multi-channel bar without subwoofer > compact size
+ hdmi input in addition to e-arc input
+ built-in calibration tools
+ overall clean sound
- lacks an application for a better use of the bar: choice of modes, Equalizer. etc..
- no dedicated button for certain functions, night mode (not indicated in the manual by the way, allows depending on the audio format, does not work all the time: to reduce the difference between the "ambient" sound and the central channel).
- no dedicated smartmode button,
- in short, the audio modes are not easily accessible and for those hidden, they return by default after powering down
- the central channel lacks a bit of "body" (listening at low volume)
