    Customers are mixed about the performance of the speakers. Some mention that they work really good when media is going through them, and the surround worked wonderfully. However, others say that the unit suddenly and inexplicably will not turn on. They say that it has a fixed amount of time they work and that it needs to be charged.

    "...band router… This system hooks into the 5 GHz band and I have experienced no problems. I have about 14 devices on that band no issues whatsoever...." Read more

    367 customers mention161 positive206 negative

    Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the speakers. Some mention that being wireless is nice, with multiple options for connectivity (HDMI/HDMI-ARC/OPTICAL/Blue-tooth). They also love the wireless detachable speakers, as they pack a lot of sound for their size. However, others say that the surround speakers have a very poor connection to the rest of the system, with weak connections. They also say that Bluetooth competes for bandwidth with the control channels.

    "...thing to note though, is if you don’t "forget" the BT it can sometimes auto connect the BT without you knowing and that’s not always something you..." Read more

    "...They connect automatically without a problem to the main unit, the speaker levels are adjustable on the fly, and you can place them wherever you..." Read more

    "...Love it, but it does have flaws. First off the bad. The remote is terrible. That sucks because I have to use Arc to skip having to use its remote...." Read more

    89 customers mention22 positive67 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the charging of the speakers. They mention that the speakers do not charge when in use, and only charge when the system is off. They also say that the design is dumb as you can only charge the rear speakers when they are plugged into the sound bar. Customers also mention that their left rear speaker would not hold a charge or even charge with a USB charger and stay on.

    "...They will not re-charge without doing that. For me the system out of the box performed perfect...." Read more

    "...setting it up, it’s important to remember that the wireless speakers do need to be charged. They take 3 hours to charge...." Read more

    Great now that I have new one
    5 Stars
    Great now that I have new one
    I bought this JPL soundbar to replace the one I purchased from Amazon the week before. That “renewed” bar came in a severely damaged box and the unit itself was also badly damaged with two of the subwoofer’s feet broken off, and a dent in one of the surrounds that let-on to internal damage (it rattled). I promptly returned it with the idea of buying somewhere and/or something else. The product showed up again on the Amazon website at a better price (new) so I took a chance.This box did have a rip under the tape, but I opened it and found it to be new and free from damage. I have not experienced home theater since about 2006. New living arrangements meant that I had to put my Yamaha powered B&W 600 series home theater in storage. Two center channels two big floorstanding 640is two rear bookshelf, and a 12” Paradigm subwoofer.Was this JBL going to give me anything like that? Nope, but that’s fine. I wanted to see what 16 or so years of technology with a much smaller footprint could give me. I’m very happy with the JBL for home theater and that is what I have it for. I really don’t care about using it for music, it will happen, but it’s not my real concern.Watched The Incredibles and Cars: lots of great Doppler action, explosions and glass breaking. I’m a big fan of the detachable rear speakers and they will spend most of their working life detached from the bar. I did not want wires trailing along the walls but I did want real surround. The subwoofer is also very good with lots of floor and wall-shaking bass. It doesn’t move nearly as much air as the paradigm nor does it adjust your organs with its hertz, but it played its role very well.Set-up was very easy I am using the ARC connection (never used that before on the TV) and it makes connecting other devices very easy and it sounds great.One day I will set the old system back-up (16 + years of receiver tech should really make for a great sound experience.
