Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert

You'll enjoy a wireless surround sound experience, thanks to the soundbar and the removable speakers.
The deep bass of the subwoofer ensures you'll listen to a room-filling sound.
Dolby Atmos reflects effects to your listening position via the ceiling so the sound is extra spacious.
You can't connect the soundbar to the TV via Bluetooth.
Because the removable speakers have a 10-hour battery life, you have to recharge them via the soundbar every day.

Description

The JBL Bar 9.1 TWS, or True Wireless Sound, is the basis for a home cinema with a wireless connection. The soundbar includes a subwoofer, which provides a strong bass. You can place the 2 removable speakers anywhere in the room. This way, you'll experience a surround sound with the sound coming from all sides. After 10 hours, you can reattach the boxes to the soundbar to recharge them. The connection between the devices is wireless and runs via WiFi, so you won't trip over any cables. Dolby Atmos completes the movie theater experience. The sound is reflected back to your listening position via the ceiling so you're right in the middle of the move or series.

Review is 8,0 out of 10.

Much better than expected and a perfect combination with App

Sound quality vs size
True wireless satellite speakers (internal battery)
Satellite speakers that sit perfectly on the back of your couch
Initial setup is simple, but not intuitive.

After a very long search, going through a few listening sessions and dozens of reviews, I came across this soundbar. The result turns out to be better than expected and that results in a very positive review. The really unique thing about this system are the modular satellite speakers that are truly wireless (so no power cord) and the fact that these speakers are designed in such a way that you can easily place them on the armrest of my couch. In the aforementioned listening session, the sound of the Samsung Q950 was the best, but the satellite speakers then have to be set up permanently near the couch and that does violence to the atmosphere in the house. Let's be honest, speakers on uprights with a 220 volt cable attached? Tis and will not remain a face. The infamous WAF factor is the stumbling block of the dSamsung. As a result, I searched for a long time for a Dolby Atmos solution that does not require satellite speakers. But after reading many reviews, I carefully concluded that satellite speakers are needed for a good Atmos experience. The Sonos ARC had very high expectations because of many positive reviews, but during the listening session I found it only slightly better than the JBL and a lot more expensive if you include satellite speakers and sub. But the real disappointment came when it became clear to me what was needed to actually enjoy Dolby Atmos at home. My 3-year-old Samsung TV turns out to be unable to pass Dolby Atmos to a soundbar. With that I had three choices; 1) Specify Dolby Atmos; 2) Buy a new TV and (Sonos) Sounbar; 3) Buy Apple TV 4K HDR + Soundbar with two HDMI ports that also have HDR and Dolby Vision pass-through ports. With this combination I now have Netflix, Apple TV+ and Disney+ in HDR and Dolby Atmos. All controllable from one remote control. In short, with this combination not only is the sound great, but the picture is also a lot better (turns out that many streaming apps that play from TVs are not able to stream in HDR). I was also positively surprised at the sound quality during normal TV broadcasts (ziggo). It turns out that quite a lot of content has a good surround experience.

Soundbars still lack midrange and stereo placement

Easy installation
E-ARC and Atmos support
rear speakers
Stereo image sound bar

Slightly disappointed in the soundbar. Since soundbars are popular these days, I was hoping for a reasonable sound with nice compact dimensions. Unfortunately, the stereo placement of the soundbar is dramatically bad (barely hear any difference between left/right) and I can't even recognize the sounds that should come from above. Rear speakers are fine by the way and setup was easy with an LG OLED t.v. However, with a direct comparison with my 10+ year old surround amplifier with separate speakers (cheap bookshelf speakers), it was a significant decline. So I traded in and bought new separate speakers for my old amplifier and then no support for Atmos and other new formats.
