Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert

Thanks to the powerful bass from the subwoofer, movies and series have more depth and sound more realistic.
With Virtual Dolby Atmos, you’ll enjoy more immersive sound, so movies and series sound more realistic.
Thanks to voice enhancement, voices sound clear and crisp, so you can understand every word.
Without rear speakers, you won’t surround yourself with sound and you won’t get fully immersed in movies and series.
The surround sound with Virtual Dolby Atmos sounds less realistic than with True Dolby Atmos.

I watch movies more often since I got the JBL bar 500MK2

Bass is strong and you feel the vibrations
Dolby Atmos
connect to wifi for streaming music
subwoofer is gigantic

The box I received was large and heavy. This is because the subwoofer is enormous. I placed it next to the TV and the soundbar, which is actually quite modest in size, under my TV.

It's just a matter of connecting a few cables, connecting to Wi-Fi, and it's ready to go. You can also stream music to it via smartphone. Handy and fun when I want to put on some music while doing housework. The sound is unparalleled. Not with headphones, earbuds, or average speakers. The subwoofer vibrates sound waves throughout your body. Music sounds much better, just as it should.

Movie night is what I bought it for, and the Dolby Atmos makes it feel lifelike. The sound comes at you from every direction, and thanks to the strong bass, you can feel it. I find myself watching movies more often than before. I think the sound has improved my experience considerably, and watching movies has become much more enjoyable. Maybe this is the impetus for me to buy a new TV for the ultimate experience.

Lots of experience

A perfect entry-level soundbar to buy as an upgrade from your standard TV sound system. The bar itself is robust and sleek, but the wireless subwoofer is anything but.

Setting it up is a breeze. Simply plug in two 230V plugs, connect your TV to the soundbar, and you're done. Connection is possible via optical cable, Bluetooth, and HDMI. After connecting, you can download a JBL app to fine-tune the sound.

The sound from the soundbar is full and clear. It's also immediately clear why the subwoofer is so large: every low note is converted into a vibration. This can be a bit of a problem for homes with high noise levels, and not all neighbors appreciate it.
