To achieve it, bounces sound in certain directions, creating a more immersive soundstage than a standard soundbar that only plays stereo sound.

Hear every detail wherever you are in the room, and add an extra layer of immersion to whatever content you’re watching without the need for additional surround speakers or cable clutter that comes with it. The manufacturer recommends turning smart mode on with more action-packed content but keeping it off with dialogue-focused shows like the news and the weather report. It does a fantastic job of bringing out dialogue, and across every film we tried, we were deeply impressed with the surround sound capabilities. For anyone looking to update their current home audio sound system, our Bluetooth soundbar range has something that suits you.There is no denying that the speakers in today’s televisions leave a lot to be desired when it comes to sound quality, so one easy way to improve the experience is to purchase a soundbar. It's set to '3' as its default, and we recommend maintaining this setting if you prefer a more balanced sound with stereo content. You'll never miss a word with our PureVoice technology, which makes sure dialogues are clear even when other sounds are at their loudest. It also comes with a subwoofer of the kind found in more traditional ‘wireless’ setups, as it's wired to a power supply but connects to the soundbar wirelessly. In truth, there’s not much need for eye-catching aesthetics from a device that wants to sit below a TV (or be wall-mounted) and not distract from the onscreen action, but with its full-wrap perforated grille, round edges and 5.

With Dolby Atmos content, the experience is also not very differentiated, as it does not integrate top speakers to project the sound upwards. sits at 1148mm, which is wide for a soundbar, so if you are thinking of making the purchase, it’s definitely worth making sure you’ve got the space for it.

After purchasing and setting up the soundbar, everything was working correctly and the JBL was connecting to my Samsung TV via Bluetooth. Additionally, you can use the audio sync function to synchronize the audio and video and avoid any delay. Instead, it uses front-firing drivers built into the bar itself to simulate sound effects in the space around you.

Simply link the JBL Bar 500 with your voice assistant-enabled device and you can instantly ask Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to stream all your favorite music to the soundbar. To disable the smart mode, on the remote control, press and hold the mute button for more than 3 seconds then press vol +.

It’s a rear-ported, downfiring design, with a 10in woofer and claimed 300W amp that, on paper, raises it above much of the competition.

It sounds entirely competent at low levels, but a little uninterested; go above ’20’ on JBL’s volume scale (which equated to around 80dB at my sofa), and its sound duly grows in scale and sense of attack.When I charge the additional speakers using the charger and USB, the speaker emits a slight buzzing sound. I've found that completely unplugging the soundbar from power and plugging them back in somehow resets the satellites and stops them from doing that. Unlike the JBL, it has discrete satellite speakers, supports Dolby Atmos, and has built-in voice assistant capabilities.
