Title: Awesome! A Much Improved JBL Soundbar!
Review: In August 2020, I bought the first version of this soundbar named "JBL Bar 2.1". That was during the COVID lockdown as I was working from home _which is a rented house. Fast forward 2022, I was able to save enough money to buy a house located two hours away from my workplace _as my weekend getaway. I still kept the rental house though, because it was only 3 miles from my workplace.For my new house, I bought a brand new 55" TV. Having been spoiled at the sound I was getting from the previous JBL 2.1 soundbar, I decided to buy another one for this new TV. Surprisingly, there is a new version! There was nothing wrong with the first model so I was wondering why JBL came up with this new model. There were hardly any information on the internet about it as Amazon was just releasing it on February 22, 2023. So I took a chance and bought one!It's been just over an hour after I unboxed and tested this new model. This time, it's named "JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass (MK2)". In appearance, it looks almost the same as the first version. However, the MK2's soundbar has a slight extrusion on top. The bar logo and controls are raised and the subwoofer is taller. After plugging the HDMI cable and power cords, the subwoofer automatically paired with the soundbar. The remote control looks different too. It's simplified and very intuitive. This time, when you press the Bass button, there are only 3 settings: Low, Mid, & High _as opposed to the 1 to 20 bass levels of the previous model.Testing the unit:Sound perception is very subjective, depending on one's background and taste in music. So my comments on this section is my own, having been a musician in my younger years (playing guitar, bass, and keyboards) and currently being a hobbyist as a saxophone player. So I turned to my proven bass tester song which is "Mystery" by Anita Baker. This song has a sliding bass note after the 8-bar intro. The bass notes are very clear coming from what I assume a 5-string (at least) bass guitar. I was blown away by the sound! The soundbar was tuned so that the mids and highs are very clear and not drowned from the bass sound. I tried other songs from Steely Dan, David Bowie, and other YouTube Bass Testers and they all come alive. The lows are very solid. The 3 bass level settings are very practical. At low volume, I could still hear the bass!I could go on but I'll leave it up to you guys to decide yourself if this is a good upgrade (if you currently have the previous model) or a good new soundbar for your TV. Within a day, you should be able to make a decision, as Amazon has liberal RETURN POLICY, in case you're not satisfied.In transparency:This is the second unit I got from Amazon. I received the first unit when it first came out on Feb. 22, 2022. The soundbar wouldn't turn on! I tried all the suggested troubleshooting guides from JBL. Still no power! Looking back, I noticed it was delivered without being enclosed in a protected box. So the photos of what's inside the box were visible. Inside the box, the soundbar and the subwoofer were only being protected by the hard Styrofoam they were enclosed in. Immediately, I returned the unit to Amazon and asked for a replacement.Three days later (today Feb. 25, 2023) I got the replacement! This time, the original JBL box was enclosed inside a bigger box, surrounded by bubble wraps. Within 5 minutes after unboxing, I was enjoying the much improved version of this JBL soundbar!Conclusion:I highly recommend this unit, especially for musicians or those who are totally into music. Of course it sounds great watching movies, YouTube, etc.! I'm not a gamer so I would think this would be great for that purpose too! For now, everything is great! I'll write a follow-up review in a few months.

Title: Simple setup
Review: Remote is decent size and not one of those credit card remotes. The sub woofer although lacking enough base at lower volume does improve with increased volume. The remote has 3 selectable levels for bass not an adjustable range but I found the low, medium, and high to be acceptable. Overall it's all working good and a big improvement over the TV speakers. I would buy it again.

Title: amazing sound for a casual music enjoyer
Review: I have never really spent money on speakers, I'm more of a headphones guy. I'm not a real audiophile because I'm broke but I appreciate high fidelity music. Hip hop, metal, rnb, EDM, whatever. I just got a fire TV and found the audio to be severely underwhelming. This thing changed everything. it might not get you bougie home theater sound quality, but if you're someone like me who got a cheap tv and is on a budget for good sound, this thing is a gamechanger. the subwoofer sounds incredible coming from TV speakers. the soundbar itself is really capable for the rest of the sonic ranges. it gives a pretty clear crisp sound. not amazing, but it compliments the bass nicely.

Title: Impeccable Immersive sound and quality
Review: Just wow ! Impeccable sound and quality perfect packaging and fast shipping.This sound bar paired with 6.5 subwoofer is truly a pleasure and a whole new cinema experience to watch movies on.The sound quality out of this sound bar is second to none compared to the competition at this price pointThe remote is simplified easy to use doesn't have many options like no EQ but it's like the sound bar is programed from the factory for immersive sound experience.I really can't explain it here. It just works with no complaints.Consider it like a smart already out of the box tuned system so say...The remote is able to adjust 3 different BASS levels from LOW/MID/HIGH with zero distortion even at its highest level.No echo ! Like other brands. I paired it with Special Vaydeer Speaker stands at an elevated position and trust me does not need to be wall mounted. When all mounted it will vibrate the walls and you will hear it. Make sure whatever solution you choose (similar to my set up) that sound deadening is involved.So listening to music via Bluetooth on this thing is again outstanding I'm astonished by the sound this bar set up is able to produce. $300 is a steal I highly recommend this sound bar sub combo from JBL.Every JBL product I have is always very good quality this one comes at no exception. IMO JBL is the leader in sound I would say them or Denon but yea those are my TOP 2 when it comes to cinema experience and full immersion around you.BTW right out of the box first time turning on SUB connected in matter of seconds to the sound bar and gives a chime to let you know it's connected.The only drawback I could think of it doesn't have Dolby Atmos but honestly it's not needed.If you can tell from my pic it shows set up in my master bedroom.Unbelievable will definitely be buying more JBL products in the near future.I highly recommend this sound barHope this review has helped you in making your purchase decision 🫡

Title: Nice and refreshing
Review: I'm getting up in age and lately have been using the cc function on my TV because turning it up sounds awful!Had been looking for a reasonably priced and good brand sound bar.I love it! The manual shows you how to connect to your TV and cable box. Didn't take too long for me to figure out the cords.I love the remote, it's as basic and easy to understand as you can get.The bar fits right in front of my TV and blends in and I have the subwoofer nearby on a shelf.Sound is nice and clear and the bass kicks in as it should. It's not super deep but nice.I've had it connected for a couple weeks now, so far so good.

Review: Great compact home speaker for movie lovers, for music it was not great just ok. I guess only one way greatness and I wanted just for TV, so that is consider great. Easy straight forward setup. That very good, compare with my Yamaha. A lot easy.One month and one week, my home speaker doesn't work 😡😡 So I bought a Optical cable to replace theHDMI, well it finally work again but with it own remote. Please improve your cable because the set of speakers were not cheap. From 4⭐ to 2⭐. Also buyer has to consider if the system wasn't working after a month, it was a little hassle to contact and replacements that is my point of view after contacting the dealer without responding. Thanks to the review mentioned the cable problems. I have it sorted 🤯.
