Title: Works great with older Visio tv
Review: In my opinion the set up was simple. My older model Visio tv does have the HDMI eARC input. Sound is very good and balanced. Subwoofer is powerful. Initially I ran a Roku Ultra streaming device through one of the HDMI TV inputs for "surround sound". But the Roku actually sounds better when plugged into the "HDMI 1" input on the soundbar. The soundbar gives you an electronic message on the front that reads "Dolby Atmos". Which is funny because Roku's don't have "Dolby Atmos". The only streaming device with "Dolby Atmos" that I know of is the Amazon 4K Max firestick.....Good bang for the buck!

Title: Awesome sounds
Review: Once I got the correct app was able to adjust bass treble and mids. Totally blow away my 900 watt surround sound set up.

Title: Finally a Multi-Room Soundbar that works
Review: I'm well verse into Amazon Alexa multiroom, owning about a dozen of Echos,. I was trying to find a device that would 1. Play in Sync with other Echos and 2. Get some deep bass in the house. 3. Not ruin me. This hits all 3 right on the spot ! However, it doesn't fill the room as much as my previous soundbar Q800A from Samsung, but the Alexa Multi Room integration works 9/10 with almost no noticable lag. You can also add the bar to Alex Groups, which makes it convenient to fill the room with music when playing in sync with other Echos. Remote and Subwooker are great, I just wished the soundbar had a 5.1.2 speakers system, with 2 more speakers upfiring within the bar as the Multibeam is not as noticable as the competition, but I guess you can pay more to get something better ! Great Value for Money overall.

Title: Defective
Review: I was so disappointed to get this soundbar just to discover the one I received didn't work. When I plugged it in, it made the ticking/popping noise you hear in the video. The LED display never turned on, just flashed randomly. It didn't connect to Wi-Fi. I managed to connect it to Bluetooth after using the JBL application and a few restarts, again to be disappointed that the sound cut out every 5 seconds. I'm sure it is a great product when it works, but it is such a let down to receive a product that is broken right out of the box.

Title: Read before buying!
Review: Bought “used”. Came in unopened box, no sign of usage whatsoever. Definitely would not buy at full price. Will keep for garage for what I paid for it.Bass doesn’t seem to match surround at all, very “loose” sounding. Sit anywhere near sub and it drowns out soundbar or if turned down it disappears altogether. I would send it back if I paid full price.

Title: Amazing sound!!
Review: This JBL 500 sound bar is incredible. Easy to install by connecting an hdmi cord to it and your TV, everything syncs immediately. Your tv remote then operates the sound bar volume. The 10 inch sub which immediately connects once plugged into a power adaptor absolutely rocks a room. The bass in insane and shakes the walls of a 20x20 carpeted floor room. Highly recommend!!

Review: The subwoofer is 10/10 in concrete apartment it very difficult to have a good sound but this one did the job and i tested bose and none worked good in concrete,I didnt have to pair the sub with the bar it was already pair.1st thing to do is buy a very good HDMI cable quality get the best you can,2nd thing is UPDATE THE FIRMWARE ON WIFI because purevoice have a very important update that make it BAD/GOOD and the update is a massive change for purevoice quality sound, without the update it hisssss SSSSSSSS it was very bad before the update, DO THE UPDATE OR YOU GOING TO RETURN IT 100%. **IF YOU WANT GOOD SOUND FOR OLD PEOPLE DO NOT CALIBRATE BECAUSE IT GOING TO REDUCE CENTRAL SPEAKER (VOCAL ONE) FOR ATMOS ON SIDE SO YOU GOING TO UP AND DOWN VOLUME NON-STOP WITH VOCAL TOO LOW AND EFFECT TOO HIGH**3rd thing is setup your tv setting and use all potencial of a quality hdmi cable. You can go PCM (on tv) ** Do not dolby digital plus for old people it going mess the vocal just use normal dolby digital** and uncompressed audio quality, with a very good hdmi cable you can get best possible song from tv. Check every setting and tune it/test it **TUNE IT UNTIL YOU LOVE THE SOUND IF NOT KEEP ADJUST TV/CABLE BOX/JBL ONE APP4th: put the app on a tablet/phone and adjust the equalizer to your taste (For old people it can be flat you be fine with nice bass and perfect vocal IF YOU NOT USED CALIBRATE FEATURE).**This is a very good product if you take the time to adjust it and if you buy it for a 60+ years old do the update/setupOnTv/setupOnAPP take your time and you get what you want** ***DO NOT CALIBRATE IT BECAUSE IT RUIN THE SOUND BY MAKING VOCAL SUPER LOW AND ALL OTHER EFEFCT SUPER HIGH***Massive strong powerfull bass (i use level 3 if not calibrate and 1 if calibrate for young taste of the 5 and is strong).Clear voice dialog very good for 60 years old + people (IF NOT CALIBRATE AND NOT USE DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS).JBL Subwoofer work on concrete condo and thats pretty rare, i tried bose and returned the bose.If you can get it at 30% or more discount get it. If you buy it for your father is a good one the purevoice make all dialog very loud and clear. the bose tv speaker was good BUT the voice was canned into the bass and was hard to hear by old peoples even with the vocal mode ON.***WARNING THE JBL ONE APP IS A MESS AND EACH TIME YOU OPEN IT MAYBE IT RESET WHOLE THING AND CANT CONNECT TO THE SOUNDBAR UNTIL A RESET OF THE SOUNDBAR *BLOCKING WIFI* BUT THE JBL ONE APP IS ONLY GOOD FOR UPDATE THE FIRMWARE ONCE THEN AFTER YOU FINE TO NEVER USE IT AGAIN EVER***For young people in a house that want mega bass with mega effect do the dolby digital plus and calibrate you get loud home theater. BUT FOR 60+ YEARS OLD DO NOT CALIBRATE OR USE DOLBY GITAL PLUS STAY WITH DOLBY DIGITAL NOT THE PLUS THEN YOU GET THE BEST QUALITY FOR VOCAL AND A SOUND THAT YOU WONT KEEP UP/DOWN EACH 5 MINUTES.Remember for old peoples: NO CALIBRATE EVER (IF YOU DID JUST RESET THE BAR) AND NO DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS GO NORMAL DOLBY DIGITAL. with this you get the best movie sound quality and a subwoofer who punch but not like young kid in a sport car the whole building going to hear. (the PCM is the best sound possible for old people and no need to turn up/down volume every scene)trouble tips: If you just buy it and have some trouble with no audio sometime or stop working after a day or 3, this is because of the hdmi cable if you have a bad cable you can turn off the eARC to go in only normal ARC inside the tv setting. try look for a eARC quality hdmi cable if you not want any trouble.

Review: Very easy to connect with wifi, TCL tv, mobile phone, Alexa, BT mic, etc.For music, I love its balance and clarity.For movies, the bass is too strong even at 0 setting. Most of the time I couldn't understand the dialogue.But, I bought it mainly for music. So it's a yes! 👌
