Q: Can you sync or add more speakers to the jbl surround sound
submitted by Scat - 8 months ago
A: Hi Scat, thanks for reaching out about JBL Bar 500 5.1 Channel Soundbar and 10" Wireless Subwoofer with Multibeam Technology According to the manufacturer's website the JBL Bar 500 does not support rear/surround speakers. Alternatively the JBL Bar 800/1000 has detachable wireless rear speakers included. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
submitted byJustin - 8 months agoTarget expert supportA: Thanks so much for your question. Additional speakers cannot be added to the soundbar system. It does use virtialization to create sounds that do seem to be coming from behind you, hence the reference to a 5.1 presentation. Virtualizatoin is the use of creative timing manipulation of sound and objects actually do appear to be coming from behind you. Hope that helps and please enjoy. Ira World Wide Stereo

I had a cheaper sound bar that was just okay as far as sound. I saw this on sale and decided to upgrade and I’m so happy I did. The sound is great and a huge improvement over the cheaper one I had. For the price, this exceeded my expectations and the sound is awesome!

Bought to replace an underpowered old soundbar. My room has high ceilings and this fills the space better than I had hoped. Bass is thunderous. Dolby Atmos effects are pretty weak, although my high ceilings could be part of the problem there. If you want surround sound this ain't it, but it does what it does pretty well. Soundbar occasionally struggles with sound input changes but overall I am happy with it.

I bought this almost a year ago so hopefully my warranty request is handled quickly. The sound out of the bar and subwoofer are excellent and it's nice not needing a bunch of satellite speakers. However, the subwoofer has had issues staying connected to the soundbar from day 1 and has gotten progressively worse as time goes on. I'm currently having to reconnect the subwoofer about three times a week and the process should be easy (just hold the bass button for more than three seconds and push volume down), but it often takes numerous attempts to get the soundbar to enter pairing mode with this route. I previously had a Samsung soundbar with subwoofer and only had to do this one time over the several years I owned it, so this is starting to feel like a downgrade compared to what I had.

I'm not impressed. Had high hopes since this had a 10" sub while also carrying the JBL name. I've had much experience with other JBL products within the club and car stereo scenes over the last 20+ years. The mids and highs are not bad... This sub just sounds muddy and will not produce any deep rumbling notes whatsoever. Yes it does have bass, but its just not what I thought it would be. My Sony theater system with an 8" sub from 25 years ago blew this away hands down. Even my 2 PreSonus Eris 3.5" Studio Monitors along with the PreSonus Temblor T10" sub destroy this...night and day. If your'e looking for that low rumbling type of sound, definitely look into something else.

I’ve had a Bose Lifestyle surround sound system for the past 10+ years and was starting to have issues. I already owned a JBL BAR 5.0 soundbar in my garage and have always been extremely impressed with it. I also own two JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speakers that I’ve had for years. We sync those together outdoors when we have parties. I saw the JBL BAR 500 and decided to purchase it to replace my Bose system. It was so easy to setup and the sound is incredible!! Linking it to my WiFi was a breeze. The JBL app made everything so easy. I love the calibration feature and it works quite well. I’ve became a huge JBL fan and have been well pl asked with all their products.

Very disappointed in the BAR 500 sound bar. The subwoofer is just a bigger speaker and not tuned as a subwoofer, instead bass coming the of the speaker, all of the sound comes out, not just bass. When you turn the bass up all it does is make the sub the loudest speaker in the setup. Which means when the bass is in the highest setting of "5", it's just puking out loud noise instead of actual bass. When turning on Dolby Atmos, all it does is amplify the sound and make it louder. I had the last generation JBL 5.1 surround with detachable speakers but it stopped working. I would totally buy that again but it's sadly discontinued. It had different sound mixes changeable with the remote and most importantly the subwoofer was an actual subwoofer! The 5.1 surround and the bar 500 have the same subwoofer, but the 5.1 actually tuned the sub to act like a sub, when you turn the bass up using *30* levels it actually shakes my whole house!! The Bar 500 will be getting returned and I will be buying a different brand since this new line up all have the same 5 levels of bass which leads me to believe they will act the same way instead of increasing actual bass.

I purchased this as I've had JBL in the past and was satisfied. Connected to the tv easy enough... The sound, however, was nowhere near as good as I thought it would be. Second, it seems all functionality is in the app that the soundbar won't connect to.

This thing is amazing! I wish I had made this purchase years ago instead of wasting money on the cheaper 5.1 sound bars. The subwoofer engulfs the old Sony I had, and the bar gets theater loud with good clarity. The first thing I did was put on a NASCAR race, and when the engine start command was given, you could feel the engines fire up! I took this to use at a party in a university conference room, and that party was poppin! Even down the hall, it sounded and felt like a party should.
Good quality for the price
