Jbl 5.1 Soundbar Wireless Speakers Not Working

Perfect soundbar that pairs with my wireless 250 speakers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing sound! The JBL Bar 500 soundbar is very well constructed. Just make sure to calibrate the soundbar to your room with the settings to get it dialed in. It has 5.1 surround with Dolby Atmos. Listening to movies can be heard very clearly with dialogue enhancement technology integrated on the soundbar. Amazingly, sounds can also be heard from different angles without any rear surround speakers.The soundbar does have front and side firing speakers, but I noticed no up-firing speakers. It does connect via hdmi E-Arc and has an additional hdmi input, ethernet, usb, and optical input. However, I wish there was an additional HDMI input on the soundbar. Overall, the 10-inch subwoofer, clarity, Dolby Atmos, and punchy base do make up for an immersive sound experience. This soundbar can definitely put out some power. A whopping 590 watts total can be heard when you raise the volume with no distortion. Plus, using the JBL app and listening to music is very impressive with clear highs and lows and a boomy base from the sub. With the JBL One app, you can customize your own personal settings and connect it via WIFI. I like that you can link your voice assistant device and ask to stream your music to the soundbar. The JBL bar 500 is an excellent soundbar with great sound and base that can fill a room when watching movies or listening to music in a convenient package.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everybody should have one of these speakers. It's small size, quality look and feel, surprising sound and convenience will have you bringing it everywhere! Listening to music while working out, going for a ride on an e-scooter, working on the car or listening to the game at a BBQ.. even playing rain storm sounds all night to sleep in a hotel, this little speaker makes it all so convenient. As for the sound.. owning many JBL Bluetooth speakers, including an original JBL GO, I am surprised and impressed! This is a significantly different speaker than the older versions, and really is worth upgrading to. The bass is surprising for it being so small! It's actually fun just to hold it while it's thumping along. If you place it on a wood coffee table, it powerful enough to use the table to create additional bass. Treble is decent, but really livens up with the JBL Signature EQ setting via the app. For outdoors, where you want more volume and bass doesn't matter as much, you can use "Power Save" mode via the app. This actually increases the volume AND saves battery, at the cost of reducing low-end bass that you wouldn't hear outside anyway. Finally.. the quality. It feels nice just to hold it, and it looks very "quality" as well. Add to that an app with a preset and customizable EQ that actually works, plus the ability to pair two of them for stereo sound (of which I will try soon), IP67 waterproof and dustproof, and more battery life than I cared to test and I think this is, like I said, something that everyone should have.

This is my first time buying a 5.1 surround soundbar, and I must say I'm pretty impressed with the sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to get the LG Soundbar S80TR and it was a game changer for the living room and for homeschooling! We have our tv mounted on a rolling tv rack so that we can move it around as needed. Now, with wireless rear speakers I can now move our tv so we can use it for homeschool course, educational movies etc. and actually be able to clearly hear everything! Before it was just the stutter and quietness of the tv or the sheer bizarre amount of wires. The AI collaboration is a godsend because no matter what room we are in, it automatically adjusts to it. It ensures the best sound, the best quality regardless of the dimensions/size of the room. Definitely made for a fun rainy day activity of karaoke!! Kids felt like they were in a club rather than at home! We could literally just pick up the wireless speakers and have a day outside if we wanted to. We tried it on the front porch, just to test the speakers honestly. It was clear, concise and proved how versatile they were. Granted they aren’t outdoor speakers but it proved the AI quality for us. The LG Soundbar S80TR is sturdy and definitely well made ‘most definitely a great purchase for any living room or home theatre. It would make SUPERB and easy upgrade!

TLDR; Streambar Pro provides excellent Roku OS, sound and remote. Expanding with the Roku Wireless Speakers is a game changer. I've had the Streambar Pro for over a year now and if you need a streaming device and a soundbar, this device is the one to get! The Roku OS is so much better than what came with my TV. The layout is simple and apps launch quickly. The sound is a huge upgrade over the TV's built in speakers. It is much louder, dialogue is clearer, there is decent sound stage and some bass. I enjoyed using this soundbar as is for a year; however, no soundbar is going to rival a surround sound system. About a month ago, I expanded the audio setup with the Wireless Speakers and the Wireless Bass. Adding these devices was a breeze and took my TV experience from enjoyable TV watching to home theater quality. In this setup, the soundbar shifts to a center speaker where the dialogue becomes crystal clear. The Wireless Speakers handles background music and sounds, expanding the sound stage and adding some extra oomph with their own bass. I am totally immersed in movies now. If you can afford it, get this combo! The Wireless Bass is also great and adds some serious rumbles, but only takes the experience from 10 to 11. I am loving this setup! Finally, a special shout out to the pro remote! It has fantastic features I use daily like voice search, custom quick app launch buttons, headphones jack for late night watching and admittedly too often the find my remote feature.

We are a team of music therapists and I always buy JBL speakers as they have great power for when working with groups. I absolutely loved the option to personalize it with our logo! And there wasn't even an additional charge for that! The team loved it as well.

I have an older model Vizio TV, and the sound from the internal speakers stopped working. Instead of disposing of the TV, I decided to try connecting it to a soundbar. Therefore, I purchased your soundbar and connected it to the optical in port to the TV, and it works, and it sounds great. Now, if I can get a couple more years of use from the TV, the cost of the soundbar will be worth it. If not, I can use the soundbar with one of my other Vizio Smart TVs.

I currently have four Sonos 5, one Move, two Sonos 2 and the Soundbar with Sub. All have been working flawlessly until Sonos released this New App, now all my speakers keep dropping off when I'm trying to enjoy my music. I've tried resetting my Modem and reinstalling speakers to no avail. The new App needs the bugs worked out ASAP.

As an engineer I has hoping for a lot, but the 5.1 channel sound of this complete Arc soundbar based home theater system is far beyond my expectations. Since we have Android phones I did have to enlist my son-in-law with his iPhone to do a more thorough system calibration needed to provide the full scope of sound on modern movies and TV, but once fully calibrated to the room in which it's located the sound is just superb.
